Hi all
Worth watching
http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/
Critiques welcome
Edit: Context added at the request of Placebo
The Film has been on many Forums and is one of the most watched films on Google. As such even as a work of fiction it would be worthy of consideration for critique by the members of this forum and merely to bring it to the members attention. It is edited well to hold the attention and as an example of how to time your film is worth viewing and critiquing.
It is however placed by its producers as a documentary. It places three arguments and evidence for them.
It plagerises and credits NO ONE surely worthy of discusion on this forum!
It is inadequately sourced surely worthy of discusion on this forum!
It is a worthy activity to prove or debunk those points by taking each in its turn with a view to assessing their validity for truth.
At the moment I am investigating the astrological archeology of it. It is interesting as well because it would explain the significance of alignment of Egypt's Pyramids with Orion's Belt and Sirius to early peoples. Essentially it places it as pagan ritual going back to the stone age.
The comparative mythology is something that has piqued my curiosity. Are each of the deities common in their mythology? How much of any belief system is just rehashing an earlier form? The argument that modern Judeo/Christian/Islamic as well as Hindu and Buddhist beliefs all root in the same pagan history is surely worthy of debate.
The part about 9/11 is much the same as many other "Conspiracy films" though it raises some theories I had not heard of and so is worthy of a look just to test their truth.
The third part dealing with banking was educational about the history of the US banking system. I might questiuon some of the conclusions and a couple of the statements but that is my purpose in placing this before the forum.
As to my own opinion of it. I saw the film today. In placing the film before the forum I hope to use the forum to aid myself and others to come to a conclusion about it.
Kind Regards walker
