Summary: Documentary film produced by Peter Joseph, is a continuation of the film Zeitgeist, the Movie. The film discusses the Federal Reserve System in the United States, the CIA, corporate America, other government and financial institutions, and even religion, concluding that they are all corrupt institutions detrimental to humanity and are in need of replacement. The film advocates "The Venus Project" as a possible solution. (Wikipedia)
Despite majority of the stuff that is being told in this movie was what I already knew or thought before, it is organized and supported in such a good way that It felt like more true then I believed them to be. And having the flaws of our system being screened one after another, this system felt like more corrupt then what I realize it to be. That said, I feel many of the ideas presented on the solution side are over optimistic but I am not gonna degrade the value of the movie for that.
Attacking a system that is far too entrenched with again, material too vague to be convincing. Z:A is immoderate, perhaps even more so than its predecessor, as the Venus Project is introduced in this film. An idealized scenario that ignores mans inherit corruptibility, primal psychology and stagnant dissatisfaction.
More of the same bullshit as the last movie, only the actual facts used are complete no brainers to someone who isn't a dumbass. I like how at the end they said their petition website was deleted and they immediately blamed the government for it. Haha. Yeah sure, like anyone with a brain will buy that shit.
It fails because it all rests on the assumption that monetary systems and religion are inherently corrupt. They are corrupt, sure, but it is a symptom, not the disease. Clearly the only real solution is human extinction.
For the first hour I was wondering if Peter Joseph was doing some sort of meta project with the Zeitgeist films by proving that the death penalty is a valid deterrent from murder because I wanted to kill him. Then in the the next 30 minutes some legitimate ideas were put forward. High speed rail is awesome. That said, this movie is horseshit. Anybody who likes this movie has immediately proven all their opinions are invalid. Again, I would probably murder them if not for the death penalty.
Though it started out pretty strong and the movie touched a lot of solid points, it quickly started to feel like a "we are good, they are evil"-experience.
I like that it supports thinking outside the box and our built-in beliefs, but it also ignores and omits a great deal of things....and then makes a lot of things out to be grand conspiracy theories. I actually hate it for how poorly it addresses some really important ideas, but I'll give it credit for going outside the box.
Here's one interpretation as to how the world works and the direction we must go. I can agree with just about everything this movie presents. This planet does need to undergo some serious changes in order for our survival. Zeitgeist: Addendum gives us that jumping off point. I just think it's funny that people can marvel the magnificent things we've accomplished and then go and disparage everything in this movie as a pipe dream. Sometimes I just don't get it.
The psychedelic colored eye says it all: Peter Joseph continues to hypnotize his audience with a mixture of trivial truisms, imaginative lies and delusional conspiracy theories. The film tries to appeal to leftist sentiment, employs pseudu-intellectualism, but has no grasp of the complexities of the real world and hence no intelligent arguments or serious suggestions.
