Watch Zeitgeist: Moving Forward For Free

Pretty Good

From my favorite movies..

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

What to say about this bizarre "documentary" (read: technocratic propaganda) except that when it finished my skin crawled and I almost wept for the ignorance of history that permeates nearly every minute of this over-dramatic, hyperbolic and misleading hysteria.It is quite incredible to me how human beings can be sucked in again and again to the same tried-and-failed arguments and pseudo-intellectual fallacies that have already been shown to result in misery and suffering. Oh, but maybe this time the elimination of individuality, meritocracy and fruitful hierarchy will be different! Tell that to the millions of victims of communism throughout history - it'll be different this time, because machines! Yes, that is really the crux of the entire movie, and it made my blood run cold. To see the rating this has received - to see so many ignorant fools wilfully celebrating the surrender of their own freedom in the name of 'the greater good' has made me quite depressed. Are people seriously so envious of others, so afraid of not having the whitest picket fence on their street that they would destroy all elements of individual achievement and potential rather than find themselves on the bottom of the human scrapheap? That is the saddest indictment of humankind's pettiness that I can imagine. This movie tries to silence its critics through ridiculing, complete with the classic anti-White stereotype of a dumb redneck shouting obscenities. But there is nothing dumb about fearing the dangerous ideas propagated in this movie. Marxist thought processes are responsible for more murder and death in this world than all other political ideologies combined, and nobody should stand idly by while communist ideas disguised as scientific utopia are drip-fed in shiny packaging to a naive, frustrated and intellectually stunted audience. That is a crime more heinous than any international banker. There are many things wrong with the world. But eliminating personal choice and creating a regimented, sterile regime where there is no freedom, no individuality and no room for the highs and lows that are what being alive is all about.. that would be the greatest tragedy of all.

This is overall a good documentary. It begins with a list of what is wrong with our society, and makes some good points. However, none of these ideas are even remotely new - they are simply a foundation for the later parts of the film. Included in this section are some questionable exaggerations and misrepresentations of facts, but not many and not in ways that invalidate the thesis. Then the film moves on to proposed solutions. The propositions are almost good - almost - but they are way to simplistic. It seems that all the nuance of understanding presenting in the beginning has been thrown aside. We KNOW that optimal resource distribution would be great, and we also know from our attempts that it is very, very difficult. Our system sucks, but its better than almost anything else we've tried, and throwing it aside for something untested and idealistic will result in inevitable disaster. Still, many of the ideas presented in this part of the film are interesting, and if not new, at least presented in new ways.Overall, I would recommend this movie. However, I think they creators are wrong in some very major ways, and ultimately all this film has to offer is more reasons why change would be nice but no realistic change proposals.

Peter Joseph's reliance on as-yet undeveloped magic supercomputer programs to solve all of the resource extraction, distribution and utilization problems is not worth the trouble of making a movie. He has literally added nothing to the pursuit of a healthier, sustainable, more egalitarian society.He does manage to interview some intelligent people, but their intelligence and insight stand independent of this movie.Most egregiously however, I've learned nothing, but now had to endure seeing footage of A DOG SKINNED ALIVE. His casual inclusion of this footage in a movie that is otherwise completely benign is inexplicable. I would never have voluntarily watched that kind of horror, but now I'm stuck with it in my brain as the result of seeing a useless movie.

True premises (with some exceptions)+ False conclusions = INVALID argument This is the dream material of a teacher trying to exemplify logic traps and intellectual manipulation. The Single Effect Logic Trap is frequently used but a trained eye can identify many other traps.The leftist bias is overt and overwhelming neighbouring partisanship.All history teachings are ignored with the insolence that only true ignorance can spawn, however, I suspect is actually a fake ignorance.The high score is testimony of today's education level and a good measure of time dedicated to reading in our society.Just to be clear: I am not wealthy myself and I agree that extreme inequality is "toxic" for a society. I also agree that the society values and goals need a profound reevaluation, which is probably a perennial truth regardless of the societal paradigms of the moment.
