Anyone watch it? here is a link to the site.

http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/

no laws broken it is free distribute.

I love this move, i thought it was well made and made its points with solid information. But then again it would be stupid to say that without doing research on the things I agree on, so i have looked up the some of it, and it does match up.

I've seen this before, and I can say that you can safely skip the first 3 or so minutes, its just some crazy special effects and shots of war, but after that its interesting, but its quite long (2 hours)

I mentioned it in the Top Movies Thread, It in my opinion proves more than any voter can account for, it will knock Bill Gates off his feet, Though I agree with it in every way other than the Christianity part, though i'm a jew, I am not religious, for I find that religion is for those who need hope.

So kids, if you want to become emo some day, this is the movie for you. But dont tell me I didnt warn you.

That is a very idiotic, and ignorant thing to say. It is all right to not agree with wha tit say's, but unless you think that without god humans are bound to be left with no strength and would lack the means to be happy. I think this movie is great, and i agree with it, but if you don't thats ok, and if this
shocks you you don't have to turn "emo".

That is like saying, even though this is justa movie and makes perfect sense but would make you believe you where being lied to your entire life, Would you still want to know?

I am not assuming anyone will 'turn' emo, I am just clearly stating that it is at a basis that, if you choose to watch this movie, you are warned that it has parts that may affect certain people, unlike me and you, differently, causing them to react and maybe do different things.

And this, is just my opinion, that is what I think, and I was not trying to be offensive, I just wanted to point out what I feel like right now so it explains better the thoughts I have about this move. Just like you stated that you thought it was a great movie, I stated that I thought it was deeply affective, that is all.

It is all right to not agree with wha tit say's.
Why not..? That is your opinion.

5 minuts intro :eek:
I've seen around 3 complot theories around 11/9 and there were allmost no equivalants. I'm pretty sure these are fakes.
And if the part of 11/9 is wrong the other parts a propably false too.
(I just looked first 50 mins)

Re-shaped my view on the world.

If your religous it can be very shocking this news as everything you believed in , built your life around meant nothing. Attacks relegions with strong facts.
( I am non-religous )

Wow that 9/11 thing intresting espcially tower #7 collasping for no reason .

Atheists really can't understand what is shocking and non-shocking to religious people. To be honest, this probably won't shock me at all, but seeing I have no time to watch it I'll have to hold you on that promise. ;)

got 10 minutes in, found it rediculous, turned it off

I'll take my chances with God. But for all of you that decided you that want to see a video with the words "christianity" and "athiest" in it, watch this one instead. Its nine minutes not 2 hours.

It is an interesting movie, but don't take just the movie at face value. Many things in the movie are actual quotes taken out of context or logical fallacies.

Look up things for yourself!

There is one thing that this movie does that is brilliant. They convince you that what they say is true before they actually tell you a single fact.

They say (not exactly) that this movie is right. If you don't accept it it's not your fault, you just can't see the truth. Saying that makes you feel that if you DON'T accept what the movie says is narrow minded, and therefore anytime you try to disprove it people will tell you, "oh, the movie was right you just can't accept the truth." So no matter how many sources that show that the movie is wrong, you just think they're all bought off or "hiding the truth."

This is why I ALWAYs emphisize looking up sources for youself, seeing contrasting opinions, and trying to figure out what is ACTUALLY true. Movies like this are MADE to make you think that something is wrong, partially because you WANT something to be wrong.

You don't like the government? Then they're behind conspiracy theories.
You hate religion? Then all the religions are actually the same so it's obvious that religion is wrong.

The links I linked are just a couple of many sites that have contrary evidence to Zeitgeist. Please look at them before you fully state your opinion.

EDIT

900th post somewhere...

Zeitgeist: Addendum

Different to the first, but still good. Less about conspiracy theories (as such) and more about change (although majority of it is still on corrupt government/banking systems etc).

Minor spoilers:

I enjoyed the second hour more than the first, and it leaves you wondering about the possibilities. There is also a small "how-to" near the end. And "The Venus Project" truly looks amazing, inspiring and gives you hope for the future.
