Zeitgeist-A Internet Movie Review.

On March 15th,an internet movie was shown in 718 public theaters and had over 1100 private showings around the world.All DVD's and downloads were provided for free by the internet website in which created the movie.The movie is entitled Zeitgeist and can be found on Zeitgeistmovie.com.Zeitgeist is a movie which could easily insult every human being if its message is misinterpreted. The movie focuses on three major themes, three major themes of humanity's downfalls,Religion,Government,and Money.If three things were more certain and inevitable then death and taxes,these three themes would follow.Ironically,it seems three of the most insurmountable problems are and will lead to our inevitable doom.The movie explains religion in its most recent commonly known form,Christianity.Necessarily not the greatest opening considering it could lead to every devote Christian to turn the movie off immediately,but let us pretend people aren't that ignorant.Government is explained in th resurfacing of the 911 conspiracy which some people might of heard of.If you haven't, the 911 conspiracy is the theory(surprisingly backed with alot of evidence)that 911 was no result of terroristic hatred,but government and man's thirst for ultimate power.The third and final theme, money, is shown by many of America's money problems including the corruption of the Federal Reserve Bank and the unconstitutional income tax.
I personally am torn with this movie,both impressed with its fear tactics and editing,and doubtful due to the lack of references to any facts mentioned being true.Though,whether you are a Christian,an IRS agent,or a 911 widow, i highly suggest you watch this movie. I'm not saying you will write your congressman after,or feel the need to leave religion,but it will make you think.It will make you think about our species,our "de-evolution", how on every corner lies humanity's flaws.You don't need to be a rocket scientist to know things are bad,simply look around.This movie might help you dig deeper,and look straight into the realms of the heart of humanity,and hopefully realize that we indeed are in trouble, but we can do something about it.Ultimately that is why i think i recommend this movie,it discusses our defects,then our potential to change them.Nothing we have created is truly inevitable,nothing humanity has made will live forever.Our defeats are not defeats yet.I personally have strong feelings against many human deeds and corruptions and deceits and flaws, however i can not help having the uttermost faith that humanity can prevail,if we stop, wake up and realize we need to do something,and soon.
The movie's final message is "the revolution is now" ,this line is also the tagline for the upcoming sequel, "Zeitgeist II:Addendum". It will be released in October 2008 and is focused on the next step, what we need to do. It will discuss how we can address the problems and begin to move forward.No single human can change the world, it is simply impossible. No revolution in the history of humanity has been single handed. Our problems were not created by one person,nor can they be saved by one. Though, we together as a whole, can do something. Humanity has the tools to fix our problems.All we need is to figure out how to use them.
I understand a movie cannot cure the world of poverty or serve as a savior of the damned,though it can plant an idea. An idea that could cure the world of whatever ailment,whatever flaw,whatever blemish,fault, or imperfection. It could inspire the next Muhammad Gandhi or Martin Luther King. Not many movies of this generation supply such inspiration or ideas. Zeitgeist,i believe, has the material to inspire such thought provoking ideas. These sort of ideas are the kind that change the world. The kind that made a young Nelson Mandela wonder why his own government created separation and hatred.These ideas made a juvenile Agnes Bojaxhiu (Mother Teresa to you and me) wonder why no one would reach out to the poor. These are the same ideas in which are constitution was written.This movie has the potential to change the world,but only through its audience.
