| You give me some condescending hint as though I'm too stupid to understand your sarcasm. And I'm the one who is pompous. |

| Even thou I am way too high to comment I would say that the only way to find the truth behind the movie is to organize a group of people that will research every fact mentioned. That's the only way to know for sure if the movie is full of shit or if there is really something behind it. I am an atheist so I didn't give a fuck about what they have to say about religion. The thing that interested me the most was about the federal reserve. I looked up some stuff and found that what they said about it being private is real. So now I just think to myself "what the fuck are Americans waiting to raise up against it and give the power of currency back to the government". This is fucking ridiculuous. America is borrowing money from a group of people. Well I guess after seeing Americans reelect George Bush as their president, something retarded like that could be expected. (No disrespect, I know not everyone voted for Bush or knew about this shit) |

| I seee this as just another chapter in a series of events starting loosely with Farenheit 9/11, followed by "Loose Change" and ending, for now, with Zietgeist. What can I say? I'm not a big fan of propaganda films like this. I can't stand the way people think they've somehow been "enlightened" by a bunch of distorted facts and clever editing. Every one of the films mentioned has been debunked and shown to contain many "facts" that are far from accurate. I call these films propaganda for a reason...they have all been released in order to further the author's ideas. No, they aren't made to provide accurate info....they are made in order to change minds, and to further the ideas of a select group of individuals. Frankly, they all contain so much distorted info as to be rendered completely useless by those looking for the "facts". The truth IS out there, but trying to find it through a shortcut like "Loose Change" or the "Zeitgeist" isn't the way to find it

| People don't like the fact that things can go so wrong so easily. People don't like to think that it only took one crazy man to kill Kennedy. People don't like to think that all it took was a few crazy terrorists to take down the World Trade Center buildings. They need some profound reason, everything needs to make sense. Well, everything doesn't make sense, everything doesn't work that way. Instead of just simply putting it off as "We fucked up in the security department" it's easier to think there was a grand scheme behind it all, even if it involves our very own government. If the government can't hide Watergate, they can't hide shit ![]()

I have not yet formulated an opinion on it. I have heard the majority of the theories it proposed, some of which carry more truth than others. I'd like to research more for myself. The most interesting proposition the film made was about the coming of the age of Aquarius, and I'm surprised it did not go into further detail regarding the coming of Christ again in and around the year 2150. If the age of the Pisces really is the age of Jesus, then the coming of a new age will bring another savior. My kids will see him, although I will probably never know for sure.

| I donīt know why is so hard for people to conceive the fact that their government could conspire against them for financial purposes. I mean the Rockefellers had the largest steel monopoly in the history of the world not to mention the oil too only two generations away. So why is it so hard to accept that they need wars to get their money and that they can buy politicians to help them get it. Everyone knows it takes money to make money and it takes steel to build weapons and everything in war as well as oil for transportation. So, I think thatīs something to talk about. |

| When factual information reflecting such conmspiracies becomes availble, I'll definitely lend it some credence. However, I've yet to see anything that proves any of the "truths" this film allegedly exposes. Why should I believe info that has no factual basis? Right now, this film is about as factual as most fairy tales. |

| There's better videos out there IMO, with zeitgeist it seems that some of the topics they did some actual research, while other topics seem to have little or no factual basis. |

| Yeah there has already been a thread about this. People really need to start searching before they post. Anyway, I agree with LitMatch, the movie does make you think but it airs on the side of conspiracy theory with most of the topics. I felt outraged for sure after I watched it but I also came to realize that a lot of what they were saying was skewed and bent to be mashed into a big movie about how the world is trying to fuck us over. It lost its value for me after that. |
