Ted K

I would recommend people read some of the NY Times, NY Magazine, ABC News pieces looking into Kaczynski's own writings and statements to friends. This would make it clear that the simplistic analysis in this film as well as many other shallow treatments of his views/rationalizations ignore the clear evidence that Kaczynski was an anarchist, climate activism terrorist, and if classifiable at all, would be far left.

This bizarre treatment him as some kind of incel is simply not fact based.

The Unabomber was coming up with fascinating ideas on society from as early as the 1970's and as time goes by, those ideas become more prescient and more true. So, how does this film go about exploring these great insights into society? How does this film explore the intellect of its subject? The sad answer is, it ignores it.

Ted K, was a fantastic opportunity to do something intellectually stimulating, but for some reason, a choice was made to ignore the intelligence and make the story about a crazy hobo who lives in the forest, struggles with sexual frustration and makes mail bombs because he can't find a girlfriend.

If I were conspiratorial, I could easily imagine the powerful overlords of our society were getting so worried about people reading the Unabomber's manifesto, that they set out to destroy his character by making this film.

The film is competently produced and Sharlto Copley's performance is strong; the problem is the approach. This film didn't attempt to study Ted Kaczynski's character, they set out to assassinate it.

Tries to protray the man as a pervert and a climate activist, absolute rubbish. Wouldn't waste my time on this propoganda. Just more historical distortion to fit the narrative of today. Try actually reading books before watching this awful representation.

By mr copley , delving and diving deep into the caracter of ted kazynski aka the una bomber. Its made on a dime or less budget, filmed a shot in almost authentic natural environment, and gives you a gawping inclusion of a frustrated lonely on the outer edge of sanity personal tragedy that led to 3 deaths and at least 22 injured people by sending death by mail.

If you hope that this is a documentary about mr ted, then look somewhere else, this is more the hypertheoretical human genious mastermonster and a reflection over his sturdy conviction of the industrialistic nations of the world, the greedy capitalistic systems that rots and damages our natural resources, polluting water and wrecks forests and landscapes for the thrill of a dollar earned. Its also a look into the madmans manifesto that became published in media as a try to stop the mailterror.

Its a well acted, filmed and edited story that will grab your intestines if youre a tree lover and environmentalist. But even though that the grumpy old man feels that they are just grasping the surface in order to be a biopic. Anyway its a film to watch due to brilliant acts of mr copley, a recommend.

Being a true crime fan and having seen several documentaries about the unabomber I was looking forward to seeing this movie. After the opening credits, and given the initial approach I thought I would be in the presence of an intimate film. An "Author's Film". And this biography has everything to make that happen. But in my opinion the film falls into too many elements that have little to do with the nature of Ted himself as well as his odyssey. Even chronologically. I think the film would be more effective if it had an unknown actor. Although technically the film is excellent, highlighting the photography, although the soundtrack is also very adequate, the truth is that seeing the film as a whole, one gets the feeling that in reality, this could have been another film that "could have been" . Anyway good but not excellent.
