The Creative Brain

There is very little substance here. I feel like rabbits got the short end of the stick when it came to evolution. It feels like it's trying to give you a hug the whole time which is pretty ok but I'm not sure that's what the title denotes. There's a lot of anecdotal unchallenged assertions that if explored would have been real creative. I feel like it might be best for someone to watch this show and take the doc's advice then redo the show with the same title as if the original never existed. Then go back and find a way to make people who watched it re-watch it at the same historical point they originally watched it so it's almost like the first version never exist. The fact that this is on Netflix should give everybody hope and a inclination that standards have been sufficiently lowered and maybe those who have failed to get on Netflix a little bit of a nudge into the "am I making the right career choice" whiskey bottle self exploration conversation... Cheers!

As a social scientist, I found this rather painful to watch. There is a total overlook of the social factors that influence the conditions under which creativity is produced. Like any skill, the ability to be creative must also be promoted. That is why biologistic explanations alone are insufficient.

Other reviews here have said there's nothing new in this programme but I have read and watched many other things about the mind and still found this enjoyable. It doesn't explain how the mind works, as other programmes do. It features individuals who have found very interesting ways to be creative, and explains ways to get your own brain to do the same. Comments have been made on the presenter's voice but I didn't find it annoying and he can't help the way he talks!

The film seems to be made without the use of a creative brain. No interesting form or content to be found here, just some of the most basic level psychology knowledge presented by an annoyingly slow voice over and lots of cheap dramatic music and the most obvious footage and animations. They interviewed some really creative people, but reduced them to a couple of mostly pretty uninteresting quotes each. This film could have been so much more, it's a shame.

Less than an hour, but still boring as hell! I was expecting to watch a movie with more scientific approach, instead it was a piece a low produced video based mostly on the personal point of view of some randomly picked artists.
