If you haven't seen it yet.

Having dug deeply in to the various debates and criticisms going around, I've come to the conclusion that the movie is actually well-sourced. The fact that the movie has not recieved any media attention is also interesting. What are your thoughts?
 
of course it wont be in the news or be received by the masses. people not knowing the facts is how they, the corporate giants make their loads of money....

it's a good movie...kinda freaked me out to be honest. i checked a lot of the movies sources...it's sad how much people don't know.
makes me think of this movie called Idiocracy, by Mike Judge....at least that's prolly the direction we're headed...
 
Part 1 is a silly mixture of alleged facts, fiction and astrology intended to directly challenge to the foundations of Christianity to the point of being anti-Christian.

If you're a Christian, you'll hate it and find it threatening.

If you are anti-Christian, you may enjoy it.


Part 2 is a collection of 9/11 government conspiracy allegations.

If you believe that sort of thing, you'll feel validated.

If you're looking for something objective and adding insight, you won't find it here.


Part 3 is a collection of anti-Fed conspiracy theory rhetoric.

If you revel in that sort of thing, you'll love it.

If you are learned person in economics or history, you'll be appalled at the lack of regard for factual information.


In summary:

If you like one-sided diatribes on the above topics with little regard for facts, you might enjoy it.

If you're looking for any scholarly insights, you won't find it here.


Here is a web site (under construction) that is collecting rebuttals to the movie: http://webskeptic.wikidot.com/zeitgeist
 
The book by Orwell "1984" covered the same material. Appears to be a running theme in history, much like "the end of world" cries that have occurred since the time of Christ.

Frankly, we are NOT that together to pull off such a thing within the next 50 years. Just look at the election process.
