Zeitgeist


Zeitgeist is a two hours video documentary that is creating quite a buzz in the Internet, so last night I sat and watched the whole thing so I could be informed whenever the bubble bursts and everyone starts talking about it.
This video is like a combination of The Da Vinci Code and Fahrenheit/911 spiced up with conspiracy theories. The documentary is divided in three parts, each part deals with a different subject and although they don't explicitly connect them all it is pretty obvious that's what they are trying to tell you.
Part 1 consists of "revealing the truth" about Jesus and Christianity, they basically say it's all a myth based on pagan cults and astrology, needless to say I was pretty uncomfortable about it because more than proving anything is mostly opinions and even insulting, it didn't make me question my faith but it actually helps me reflects of what I believe and why.
Part 2 moves onto the political scene and most of it is explaining the facts why they believe 9/11 was all staged. I have to admit they make some pretty good points, however, whether it is true or not many people died in that tragic day: fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, spouses, so I think we need to be respectful to those directly affected by it.
In Part 3 they talk about how the whole economic system is geared to be controlled by a few powerful people whose only aim is to eventually rule the whole world. They also talk about War and how it is used as a tool of economical manipulation and so forth.
I'm pretty bothered by the fact that the movie has no credits, no body claims responsibility for it which I think it is cowardly, I mean, if you know you are right and you know what you're talking about put your name on it.
Another thing I want to say is that it is very bias and subjective and obviously made by someone in the extreme left and involved with the Gnostics. I noticed that in the same style of Michael Moore they take a little bit of truth and stretch it and twist it to be able to make their point.
I don't recommend or condone this movie or the views expressed on it and I definitely don't recommend it to anyone who is easily offended with strong political or religious views. However if you make the choice to watch it, be warned that it has strong language at times and some graphic footage.

Also remember that there are two subjects you never talk about with family: Politics and Religion, so forget about talking about his movie with family.
