Zeitgeist (2007)

Wonderful character development!

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This documentary is literally just a bunch of conspiracy theories. For the people who believe this to be "true", the facts stated don't directly prove the suggested conclusions. There's a reason it's called a conspiracy "theory". Now for the people who say it's supposed to make you question the truth, it simply doesn't intend to do that. As already stated it comes to its own conclusions. Its own version of the "truth" which again has no reliable evidence.Even the editing is horrible. No subtlety in the way he gets his point across. The intro to Part II about 9/11 is a joke. The exact way planes are shown colliding is worthy of parody. Oh wait, it has been already multiple times. Cringe worthy. P.S. An audio recording of Alex Jones is used, but his name isn't quoted an the bottom of the screen. Now what does that say.

I am effectively stupider from watching this 'documentary'. When I say 'documentary', I note that it is completely and utterly in jest, because this movie watches like an uneducated tinfoil hatted person sat in their Faraday cage and thought up things based on face value without any research with their imaginary friend, both egging each other on to come up with more and more outrageous and non-sensical unsupported theories.There is more than enough information even on this page debunking the large majority of things presented in this is bizarre production so I won't go into them again, start with the 'goofs' page though, because honestly, the factual incorrectness of this appallingly fallacious film needs to be realised.And all that is said without commenting on the disgustingly average presentation style that is presented by this 'doco' - I have never watched anything with such little production value and when I say 'value', I don't mean it in terms of monetary value, I mean it in that whoever wrote this and filmed it had such disregard for the people they that would be so desperate to believe what it had to say that they got through the whole thing, they didn't even bother to edit it properly so it was watchable out of respect for the viewer. Effectively they had so little regard for anyone who stayed through this tripe the whole way as they felt they must be offering so little to society as to have time or inclination to watch this entire gascloud, it contains large periods of noise or flashing montages, with no artistic, informational or viewer value at all.Honestly, do not waste your time - go to a 9/11 website instead, it'll be heaps quicker, more entertaining and closer to anything factual you'll get in this abomination. Shame on the people who created this utterly vacuous, false rubbish.

I feel compelled to write this review in the hope that others are not unknowingly fed with lies; the documentary clearly makes the assumption that the viewer will not research the content.Ironically this is in part exactly what the documentary itself attacks.I do not know much about Horus or Mithras, but I do have partial knowledge of Dionysus, all of whom the documentary claim Jesus was pretty much an exact copy of.Realising what the documentary was saying about Dionysus was incorrect, I decided to do a bit of research into the other gods. As suspected, Zeitgeist creates it's own 'facts' as it goes along to fit its agenda.It also talks about the Crux (Southern Cross). This, to the best of my knowledge, in not ever visible in the Northern Hemisphere; Zeitgeist makes the claim that the Crux is fundamental to the period of resurrection of the above mentioned gods. How the ancient civilizations in the Northern Hemisphere were able to see the Crux is beyond me.I did not have the will to research other parts of the documentary, but given the level of inaccuracies and the number statements that are not based on any truths in the first 30 minutes alone, I suspect the theme continued throughout.I have nothing against conspiracy theories, however implausible, but Zeitgeist decides to take it upon itself to literary make up 'truths'.At best it makes people question what is around us, but most likely it will leave viewers with false knowledge that will no doubt be fed on to others.Watch Zeitgeist if you must, but please take what you hear with a pinch of salt.I can only give this a 1 as it is as guilty as the religious texts it spends so long criticizing.

You'll watch Zeitgeist and be like..."oh wow man! dang it, I knew all this stuff was connected" and you'll be all amped and ready to go research these "facts" the film so professionally presents. Problem is...after you research these "facts" you'll find they're pretty much all wrong...and I mean like all of them. The truth is nudged ever so slightly in fractions to align a train of thought that the conspiracy is very real and you're slipping if you don't "wake up!!!!" Sigh. Fact check people. The dates are wrong, the religions are wrong, the players are wrong and the people behind this movement are associated with anti-Semites. It's a polished turd...very polished but a turd is a turd nonetheless.
