Unabomber: In His Own Words

I mean if I wanted to listen to his neighbours i would watch "Unabomber:Interview with his neighbours" .

I mean i liked when Ted talked but it was too little , and i would liked to listen more closely the association with the test he partake in college and to what extent it modified its personality.

This is supposed to be a documentary that goes into depth talking about a serial bomber, but every 5 minutes his annoying neighbor (the youngest one) has to tell us about how SHE "feels" and how SHE "knew all along" and how SHE "feared him" growing up! NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOU!!!!!! Oh my lord she's annoying!!!!! I'm watching this documentary to understand why he did what he did and how he got caught NOT HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT! Honestly half of her clips is about how she can't imagine growing up next to a serial killer and the other half is about how she feels about him.. useless input that nobody asked for!

Dare I say too in depth? Some of the aspects were given a lot of backstory that didn't really need to be told. But overall a good documentary with relevant interviews. The documenters for the most part just stuck to the facts and didn't get caught in the weeds of people's opinions. It came across well.

I enjoyed hearing from his family members, and all of the people that were involved with the case one way or the other. However, there was a key member that missing in this documentary, which I think is a shame. James R. Fitzgerald was the profiler in the Unabomber case, and he did play a huge role in solving this crime using forensic linguistics. He did analyze Ted's letters and manifesto, and did came up with a profile that was nowhere near what the FBI had at that point. His language analysis was too valuable to this case to be left out of this documentary, and pretend like someone else was responsible for the good work that Fitz did. He is who pioneered the field of forensic linguistics and that sure does deserve credit.

(Flash Review)

This was as well-crafted a documentary just like the Unabomber's more advanced mail bombs; high quality. This film follows the Unabomber from childhood to recluse and settles into chronologically revealing his quickly advancing bomb making process through the year, which started about once a year in the beginning. After a large gap, he reemerges with gusto and uses more advanced techniques. Who are his targets? Oddly they are scientists, technology engineers and professors. Once light is shone onto his well-articulated writing, you'll understand he was against the massive technological system within society and the stresses it puts on human beings. This culminates into his infamous manifesto published in all the major newspapers used as blackmail. His story is well-told and edited nicely to keep the pace clipping along. There are a decent amount of clips of him speaking, which are pretty rare apparently. Perhaps the film's title oversold that point.
