The Grammar of Happiness (2012)
Beautiful documentary
22 March 2014 - 11 out of 12 users found this review helpful.
Wonderful documentary about the linguistic discoveries of Dennett. It also shows perfectly how miserable and vicious is Noam Chomsky, too often believed to be an anti- system pacifist whereas in reality denies the truth and sabotage other people's work to hide the fact that he was completely wrong. The images are incredibly beautiful and they show the environment in which this language came to exist, the life of the Piraha and how they interact with each other, and Daniel himself. It's a very calm and reasonable documentary, with more people adding their opinions, and even the opinion of Noam Chomsky himself, when he denies the evidence.
