HyperNormalisation is a complex exploration of power structures rather than a character-driven story. It effectively critiques Western dominance and institutional control, showing how reality is shaped by powerful entities. However, its heavy reliance on historical footage leads to a lack of diverse personal identities. The film highlights geopolitical shifts but overlooks specific underrepresented communities like the LGBTQ+ community and those with disabilities.
Category Breakdown
The documentary does not focus on LGBTQ+ lived experiences or identities. It also does not challenge the idea that everyone is assumed to be straight.
The film uses a lot of old footage of male political figures. It focuses on Cold War politics and financial systems, which mostly ignore gender issues and female leadership.
The film looks at the global impact of neoliberalism beyond just Western countries. It includes actors from around the world but still centers on Western institutions.
The film provides a deep look at how capitalism and Western institutions affect society. It shows how neoliberal systems can create social division and how truth is used as a tool by governments.
The film does not show any specific instances of disability or neurodivergence. Its focus on political theory and history means it doesn't represent individuals with physical or mental impairments.
