Zeitgeist, the movie Options

[*paperplane*]

When I searched for "Zeitgeist," the only relevant topic was on the Smashing Pumpkins, which is a shame, because this is definitely worth discussion.

Zeitgeist is an internet movie that essentially presents a huge government conspiracy, in terms of religion, 9/11, the Federal Reserve, and what adds up to be a quest for world domination that we're all helping occur by being too distracted by entertainment.

Before watching, I hadn't known a whole lot about it, except that it was generally a conspiracy theory that will make you completely mistrust the government, and that it covered the alleged internal plot behind 9/11. (I imagine we have a topic on that somewhere, but I want to discuss this documentary as a whole.) But it was actually the second half of the movie that unnerved me the most, and made me reconsider my views much more than I thought it would.

Watch it at http://zeitgeistmovie.com. It's two hours long, but definitely worth your while.

Please don't post in here unless you've watched, but once you have, what did you think? Do you feel that you benefited from this information? Do you trust it, and if so, to what extent? If you don't consider it to be conveying the truth, why not? How would you account for these discrepancies in our society? What parts would you consider to be the least credible?

For me, the movie was definitely something that got me thinking.

The part on religion was fascinating in my opinion. I've been battling with my belief in Jesus for ages. I've believed in God, but Jesus, not so much.

The 9/11 conspiracy comes as nothing new to me. It's things i've heard before, they didn't shock me at all. While I partially believed what was said, I have no doubt that some was inaccurate.

As far as the Federal Reserve, it scared me slightly, the discussion of microchipping the most. I looked up after watching it, the talk of America, Mexico and Canada becoming one, and there was some talk of it in several news sites, but whether or not it's actually happened, i'm still unsure.


Overall, i thought the movie itself has a phenomenal concept; but whether or not it's all true, is left unsaid.
It's definitely something worth seeing, it's something to make you think. However, I don't recommend it for the close minded.
