Description:
Called "the most important intellectual alive" by The New York Times, Noam Chomsky, speaks openly about 9-11, the US War on Terrorism, Media Manipulation, the US and Iraq, and social activism, providing a critical voice that many audiences feel is missing in the world today. Featuring candid interviews with his wife, Carol Chomsky, as well as activists, fans, and critics REBEL WITHOUT A PAUSE is a timely, must-see film that offers an alternative voice and explores the truths and myths about the most important intellectual of our time.

The world's greatest intellectual voice of dissent gets another fine showcase in Noam Chomsky: Rebel Without a Pause. Chomsky is no stranger to video and DVD, with several titles (including Manufacturing Consent) comprising a growing library of essential viewing for anyone with an open mind and a healthy skepticism toward powerful politicians. In this 75-minute documentary (plus 40 minutes of additional footage), filmed primarily during his lectures at Ontario's McMaster University during the build-up to the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, Chomsky holds forth on a wide variety of topics, mostly related to the state of world affairs in a post-9/11 context. Speaking in intimate conversational settings, classrooms, and sold-out lecture halls, Chomsky (who readily admits his lack of charisma as a speaker, explaining "it's the issues that people find interesting") is lucidly sensible and deeply informed about media manipulation, the self-interest of those in power, the roots of anti-American sentiment, and the need for social activism to maintain a balanced and genuine democracy. Behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with Chomsky's wife and tour manager, Carol, offer an additional layer of depth and humanity to this hard-working thinker, while other colleagues and scholars express their supportive opinions of Chomsky and the very real fear that his outspokenness could result in his physical harm or even assassination. While any Chomsky-related material is timely by nature, the content of this film will remain relevant for years to come, whether it's being viewed as cautionary warning or prescient prophesy. --Jeff Shannon

Despite having known people who are either great fans of Noam Chomsky, or think he's a tired relic from the 1960s, I really had no opinion of the man, save that I knew he gained fame as a linguist, although I could not elucidate any of his theories, and that he was a liberal socialist with Marxist leanings. So, stumbling across the DVD of the 2003 documentary Noam Chomsky: Rebel Without A Pause, in a used video store, a film which followed him on a 2002 book tour for his book 9-11, I decided to ...

Chomsky is a brilliant man who is dedicated to understanding how corporate interests use the media to mold people's beliefs. He cares about the common person, and wants to help liberate all of us from an oppressive government that does not serve our best interests. His research has convinced him that our government has become a government for corporations instead of its people. His analysis is honest, factual, and is based on thorough research that only a person of great scholarship can achieve. ... Read More

This film is a compilation of Chomsky lecture snippets which mostly appear to be from his trip to McMaster University in Canada. In each segment, Chomsky speaks with an omniscient voice and with phrases of total authority. The director of this film interviews a professor along with Chomsky's wife who both attest to the fact that he reads everything all day long. Presumably, that is why he seems to know everything even though most of the stuff he speaks of could never be known by a private citizen. ... Read More

This film gives one a good sense of what Noam Chomsky stands for. Its clear that it is intended to promote Chomsky kinda like an infomercial. The box that the DVD is packaged in states that it "Features candid interviews with his wife and tour manager, Carol Chomsky, as well as activists, fans, and critics,...". I watched the entire video including the extra features and did not see an interview with a critic. All the people interviewed in the film adored Chomsky like he was some sort of saint ... Read More

Noam Chomsky is clearly one of the few independent minds of our time. It is particularly incredible that been him both an American and of Jewish descent, he has a clear, simple, down-to-facts view on international events involving the USA and Israel.
