Zeitgeist the Movie

An atheist, American Government hater and 9/11 conspiracy believer, loved the film.

ok god, disputeable, american government debatable, 9/11? George you dirty bastard.

Pretty much everything in Zeitgeist has been systematically proven false.

Not that what he brings up isn't worthy of suspicion, but everything in the movie is exaggerated or wrong.

It's very entertaining, but it's pretty much silly and stupid.

Not that you shouldn't question Christianity, 9/11, the Fed or the National ID act, but this movie cuts a lot of corners and uses a lot of lies.

You'd be better off watching all the films that he used in his movie individually, although they are all mostly wrong too.

Amazing post! Very insightful and provides a great cohesion of knowledge that the world is slowly coming to realise.

I recently returned from the Bahamas. I spoke to a local who did not know the difference between a planet and a star, but he saw Zeitgeist. It made him think about religion in a new way that struck fear in his girlfriend and her parents. She dumped him. My new friend, though, knew he was on the right track and decided to find someone new.

*sigh*

First off, a good movie, kudos to those who were involved in it's production. Good points, good ideas.

Thing is, you shouldn't believe everything this says. If you walk into this with thought-frame A, and leave with thought-frame B (B=everything the movie just said, and very different from A) then you are no more "open eyed and open minded" than before. THE point of this (intentional or not) is to think for yourself. Don't buy what is shoved down your throat. Question authority, think for yourself.

But yeah, it brings up a lot of good points. It definitely focuses on a lot of real issues, and uses a lot of facts to back it up, that much is evident. The harsh part is that it has difficulty addressing these issues and providing or presenting evidence for a solution or right direction.

Never accept that you know the truth. Simply know that you're aware of a certain theory, and that others will always exist. Don't be afraid to investigate them, don't be afraid to defend your own.

I've had about six discussions after watching the video, then taking two showers to wash off the filth and then walking out of my apartment and chatting with some random people at the Cyclops down the street who had also seen the film. And everyone of the well-educated customer base of Cyclops is a skeptic as to the accuracy of this film.

However, everyone I spoke with is rather content in life, as am I. We're all grateful for the day, our physical security, our jobs and general peaceful mutual co-existence where great social and scientific ideas flourish.

My point being that if you buy into Zeitgeist 100% then you must buy into your on lot in life as being coddled and nurtured and essentially a result of previous generations' collective accomplishments...even with control freaks at the helm from time to time. And it's decent. And it's called America. And I like it.

And worth fighting for, if someone wants to throw down.

That doesn't mean that we can start wars for economic gain, but...if you even have a slight understanding of ecosystems, you know that limited resources = conflict. Period. There have been wars and there will be wars.

But learn not to panic at hype like this, because again even if it is control at it's worst, it ain't bad...I'm looking out my window in my decent crib overlooking the bay, typing about this bullshit. Life ain't bad. Ain't bad at all.

But if you, unlike me, are disenfranchised have no fear either! Global slavery may be imminent, but nature will prevail. The irony here is that, if you buy into Zeitgeist 100%, take solace in the fact that the environment's negative feedback loops will kick in (nature is not benign), so the Elite will ultimately lose control, die, etc...because their own self serving behavior and prejudices are destroying the human race, not enslaving it.

I'm being specific here, the planet will exist, humans won't. The "story" "ends" "there." And one would assume, control is lost too.

All's well that ends well.

I honestly do not like zeitgeist as a whole, i think most of it is dubious at best. However i do support that it gets people to think, and to question everything. something that people should do more often.

This film is good at connecting a lot dots and disclosing a lot of myths and legends, that this wonderful western society has been spinning for the general public.

Check Out Andrew Curtis 'Century of Self' on You tube or somewhere on the tin ternet. The depth that this journalist goes its quite fascinating.

My opinion is it is simply a small part of a bigger picture. For example, if you look back at the conspiracy of the story 'Jesus Christ' it leads back to a similar story in the Egyptian time and even earlier. My theory is that their are a group of people or a sinister being who has been orchestrating these Gods in pursuit of power and with some even believing they are Gods. Thought out the Biblical and Qu'ranic stories of people of the past, there has been this constant fight of Good verses Evil and I believe this film gives it the back drop.

erm yeah...i mean, like, its like, really good....

and stuff

Have you noticed that in the first part of the movie, where they compare the story of Jesus to the Pagans of other faiths, Islamic theology and the story of Jesus in The Qu'ran (which is different to the Christian version) is neither compared or discussed. V.interesting

IT'S ABOUT CONTROL!

Hello? Is this thing on?

CONTROL!

This movie is begging that you ask yourself one question:

Were you born to work for another human or group of separatist humans, or to serve a higher power (the one that caused you EXIST.)?

Hello?

i never thought this would get out. no one still isn't listening becuz of what they see they believe is true.

I'm glad this got on TV, americans need to be informed of these issues!

if satan would just hurry up and create 1,000 years of peace in this world , my faith would be restored .

Alot of this movie is basically propaganda, especially the religion part in the beginning whose relevance I don't really understand. Many of the facts were taken from some very sketchy sources and the way it is presented is shady at best (ie the scrolling of the names for JC). Just google Zeitgeist fact check.

I did think alot of the second half was alarming though. It still had the propaganda feel but I think that at this point people really need some propaganda going in the other direction.

the best part in my opinion was the first part that delves into pagan traditions of sun worship before JC came around. Made a lot of sense to me.

I never said that the premises stated were untrue. The movie states a lot of truth. A whole lot of useless, unrelated, often irrelevant truths too loosely connected to everything and nothing, at first trying to prove that faith and science are different sides of the same ideological coin. It takes as much faith for me to believe that all contemporary life is the deliberate design of ancient ruses perpetrated by secretive invisible factions of ancient society as it does for me to beleive in the Judeo-Christian-Islamic God. So, I'm perhaps missing the point or points intended.

I reiterate: this movie sucks and is way, way, WAY too long, interconnecting badly too many well covered topics.

i saw this ages ago . the only parts i really liked were the opening scenes with lots of fire and explosions , and then it went on to tell me nothing i wasn't aware of when i was 13 - amateur stuff , really .

It is entertaining no matter what your views. I believe in some parts, not in others, but overall it is definetly worth seeing.

This movie should be seen. Even if you don't agree with the movie in its entirety, there are many valid facts that cannot be overlooked..

Camp_Ernest i am wide awake and my eyes are fuly open. Are yours? Much more newsworthy to get in front of people than a peanut shaped like a duck which was in the top ten!

I cant believe this is news again. Cubbingabout, you need to wake up and open your eyes. What is it, like 99.9% of this movie that as another newsmaker would say is "bullshit!!!!".

Well if you think for yourself and just question what you have been brought up to believe and what the mainstream tells you thats good enough for me rabidlemur !!!

Sorry but I'll think for myself thank you very much, if I was naive enough to blindly believe everything in this "movie" then I would be as sheep like as the brainwashed religious masses.

It was a well made movie though and hey, it was FREE!!

Certainly gets the old brain cells sparking doesnt it MoMoney

Cheers maasanova wil go take a look

Finally read Da Vinci code... Now watched this... Really interesting stuff

so disprove them clayjj05?

Hi Keith, yes i know but it needs to be kept up there so more people see it

Of course it makess a real point. The point being that the human race is being covertly exploited and brainwashed for the greed and lust for power and riches of the few and has been for 2000 yrs. An incredibly difficult thing to bring together in 2 hr video which i think has been very well done. Some are awake but the vast majority sleep in ignorance which is exactly what is required of them by the few.

At 35:28 they finally state their point. Christianity is a political Roman parody.

Regardless, it sums up why science is the way AND THE LIGHT, literally...E=mc2

I am awake, and it's already too late.

That movie loosely strings together way too many trivial facts while failing to make a real point. It's an overly long quicktime presentation with much too much skipping around.

Hi kramerikas that should be better now

Good movie, if you can see it.

Also, two hours of free entertainment!
