A brilliant view of a brilliant man!
In America, we rarely see Chomsky on TV. In this age of “uber-patriotism” and statements from our leader saying, “you are either with us or against us” it’s refreshing to hear a major American intellectual actually discuss the state of the union in regards to a larger world. “Rebel Without A Pause” deals with September 11th, American’s place in the world, the war on terror, media control and manipulation and activist movements in the world today. I have also seen the other recent Chomsky documentary “Power and Terror” which is nothing> more than two dated Chomsky lectures book ending a lengthy and poorly-run interview with Chomsky. (who looked like he didn’t even want to be there.)

In “Rebel Without A Pause” we see Chomsky in action on several important fronts. We hear him talking about many issues but most importantly we see him talking about Iraq, which makes this Chomsky documentary very timely. (the “Power and Terror” documentary was done a year and a half-ago and seems dated by comparison). “Rebel Without A Pause” seems to have been done very recently. In “Rebel…”, we see Chomsky engaged with students and academics in lectures and small discussions – and he actually discusses (and argues) the finer points with others in this interesting documentary. What was a real treat, however, was the commentary and reflections of others that are scattered throughout the film (activists, intellectuals, and critics all discuss Chomsky and his views). You can see why the old guy is so popular with college kids today who seem to surround him throughout the film. For all its excellent points, the real gem in “Rebel Without A Pause” is wife and manager Carol Chomsky who charms the audience with every word. She tells us what it’s like to live with a famous intellectual (she seems to think he talks too much and talks too often!) and gives us unparalleled insight into what makes the 75-year old intellectual tick and what motivates him to spend most of his time on the road talking about the state of America and the world when many of his contemporaries and critics have packed it in.

This is an important film and if you can see it you should. There are lessons and points about how our government works and acts globally, that we never see on CNN. To hear an alternate point-of-view is a rare thing these days. Chomsky also tells a story in the film about why he’s rarely on US television (he’s seen as a threat). I saw this film on a recent trip to Canada and given the recent war in Iraq, I doubt we will see “Rebel Without A Pause” on PBS or any other American media outlet for the very reasons Chomsky himself explains within the film. Chomsky’s story almost seemed like a joke — an interesting way to use a media outlet like this film to criticize other media outlets for stifling alternative thought and discourse). While I thought the war in Iraq was justified, Chomsky’s comments on American foreign policy did make me wonder about ulterior motives in my government and with Iran becoming a bigger issue, it seems the old intellectual is not only smart, he’s also prophetic.

A Disjointed And Disappointing ‘Highlight’ Reel
A documentarist, like any filmmaker, must convey a compelling story. Will Pascoe fails utterly in this effort, cobbling together uninspired snippets of Chomsky’s wisdom from a visit to McMaster University in Hamilton. The footage is shot amateurishly and in video. Pascoe’s only effort at cohering the fragments into a whole is by periodically throwing a vague title on the screen: “9-11,” “Activism,” “Truth.”

Lame.

Compare this with documentaries like “The Corporation” or “The Fog of War” which create a narrative drawing material from interviews, stock footage, and filmed footage. In the end each delivers a poignant and insightful message deftly and intelligently.

The only saving graces of the film are Chomsky’s nonchalantly delivered upendings of historical dogma, and the fact that the running time is only 74 minutes.

One of the more interesting passages was Chomsky’s recounting of his experience with National Public Radio. He describes the conservative media as more accommodating to dissenting views, while NPR’s liberal dogma strait-jackets its interviewees and dramatically limits its permitted messages. Yet another media outlet to be skeptical of.

This documentary is for Noam Chomsky completists only.
