Theodor AdornoThe film has succeeded in transforming subjects so indistinguishably into social functions, that those wholly encompassed, no longer aware of any conflict, enjoy their own dehumanization as something human, as the joy of warmth. The total interconnectedness of the culture industry, omitting nothing, is one with total social delusion.
Theodor AdornoDialectic thought is an attempt to break through the coercion of logic by its own means.
