Info

A presentation of a case for a needed transition out of the current socioeconomic monetary paradigm which governs the entire world society. This subject matter will transcend the issues of cultural relativism and traditional ideology and move to relate the core, empirical 'life ground' attributes of human and social survival, extrapolating those immutable natural laws into a new sustainable social paradigm called a 'Resource-Based Economy'.

Zeitgeist: Moving Forward Audience Reviews

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Jake Stevenson Great information, I'm not even going to try and touch on any of it as many already have in other comments. I just wanna say once you put all of this great information together in your head and things start to add up for you, your brain explodes in awe and disbelief. This is probably one of the most eye opening documentaries I've ever seen, with the best information and topics. I've known about this information for awhile now, and believe strongly in the message they give. This world is so corrupted on so many levels and this series of documentaries helps you understand how exactly. I think the zeitgeist films (especially compared to other documentaries) are nothing short of phenomenal!! Out of every 100 people, there's only a small handful of complete morons who wouldn't find these films to be awesome. The point is to spread this video! Educate your family and friends so we can all be on the same page. I always like to ask people "Can you imagine a world without money??" After watching zeitgeist 2 and 3 you will 100% be able to!!!
SaltSlasher I personally think what they teach in this movie, is stuff that should be taught to everyone. There should be a mandatory "Mythology" class that teaches you this stuff. Luckily I had such a class, and had a teach who spent a whole semester reading us all the tales in High School, from Pandora's Box to Prometheus to Jesus. Of course you need to research everything to help give you a better understanding of the material, this kind of subject can land you in 2-4 years or research to fully understand everything, cause this covers a lot of info but doesn't get super deep. But the essential fact is were all shrouded in lies from Jesus to Easter. I know many people who are just happy, sane and just go with the Christian Flow. As for everyone else, who wants to seek truth, this is a good stepping stone for your quest, if your into this kind of thing.I say this is a Da Vinci Code type of Audience, or Holy Blood Holy Grail. Even though I think the information is great, there is still a lot to do once watching the film, if you really want to know the secret to history.Remember for every story there is at least two sides, and everyone has an opinion. You'll find many Christian based theories to be opposite of what a rational scientific opinion would be, like what you learn on this movie.
saymonja-148-363330 The first time that I watched this movie, I liked it, for the most part. When I returned to watch its predecessors, my opinion of the whole project diminished quite a bit. The reason: the simple presentation of "facts" which are dumbed down, reinterpreted like so much religious dogma, and presented in flashy, attention grabbing packages. This is the sad state of the transfer of "information", from Fox News, Xinhua, and other corporate/state outlets, to those with whom I tend to sympathize, such as Michael Moore and the makers of this very documentary. The idea that facts alone are not enough for viewers anymore, that they must be duct-taped together and peppered with sensationalism and explosions, angels and demons, reflects pretty poorly on our society and the state of its ability to think critically without the crutches of mainstream or underground media. Just like Zinn's book, A People's History, the hard facts, primary sources and easily researchable quotes are supplemental to what we have been indoctrinated with, and they ALONE are terrifying enough to warrant a critical reevaluation of everything that we have accepted about the world. And just like Zinn's admirable work, the "solutions" offered and shameless political bias serve to drive an immediate wedge between this work and the "unconverted".My second issue: the solution itself. I agree that world trade, on the scale that we have come to rely on by no accident, is unsustainable and pointless; but once again we have one more perfect cure-all coming from those most noble Western ideologues that brought us capitalism, totalitarian communism (and that extinct specimen that we called "democracy"). Yes, ye unenlightened masses of the Rest of the World, we have the solution for you. Leave your petty and foolish and primitive cultural nuances at the door, and step into your new, self sustaining, sterilized cubicle. You'll never have to leave your town ever again for anything. Your desire for variety will be replaced with the eternal happiness of bounty and wealth, and you'll have nothing left to need. Your spiritual conceptions of the world have all been negated as harmful and divisive, because we have interpreted them for you as such-because OUR spiritual world views brought and propagate war and proselytizing, you are only allowed faith in science. Upon seeing those models, I couldn't help but think, why the hell would I want to live there? What about the beautiful renewable, terraced, rice-growing hills of China, or the sculpted fields of Tuscany? Our choices are sterile towers or factory farms?
Sa Ahm Watched it few hours ago. followed all three parts of it. had a good bunch of great thought provoking stuffs, blended along with some severely argumentative illusions that i might not adopt. a ton of questions floating in my mind trying to reveal feasible answers coping with their arguments, remained inconclusive still. i remember i emailed a bunch of relevant and serious questions regarding earlier parts long time ago, still impounded with no logical answers till date. i hate current imperialistic monetary-market system as they do; still some part of me telling me to like the zeitgeist ideas and the other logically arguing not to. just few of my large chunk of new questions might be(some might say i am tripping...lol!): 1. the current imperialistic monetary-market system owners have history of demolishing every entity that might stand in their way. if some of you are threat enough to them, why they have not taken any strong action on or eliminated zeitgeist (or julian assange, or alex jones or few such more) yet?!?? with due respect, sorry to say that you guys haven't showed much about that the world doesn't already know. are you just alternative strategic deployed players of their potential single New World Order system?!? are they strategically implanting relevant key players in both sides of the game to ensure a win?! 2. how different are, 'a world with many countries' and 'a world with many cities'?! mirror reflection as it seems. 3. 'global resource management system'...who would be in control of that management system and what would be the management hierarchy?! we all know, all decisional opinions can not be singular, so someone has to decide; who would that be?! we also know, money has no intrinsic value of itself; don't you think the singular power and control on 'global resource management system' would have some significant intrinsic value?! how to decide who to lead when?! the 'democracy' again...:)?! wouldn't that be another scam of politics?! 4. who gets to eat caviar or only potatoes...hang luxury art piece or mere calendar on wall...watch entertaining movies on 100inch plasma TV or just able to watch boring news on 20inch crt TV...sail to world tour or only can view sunset from rooftop...who decides about the quality and quantity of final products each can consume?! inequality doesn't depend on only as monetary disparity, but also on consumption opportunities. 5. what if there is large permanent migrations between these modern so called 'cities' resulting in overcrowding and underpopulation among different cities!? how to decide who lives where!? 6. i could not find or rely on a number of statistical facts it's given. moreover, it talked about if a hypothetical similar new earth found...which is not available realistically; rather in this current world, enough damage is already done to create a significant natural imbalance among various regions. how to regain dynamic equilibrium in this already unbalanced natural world as 'Nature is a dictatorship' itself!?there could be many more to clarify...but no offence...i have been a major encouraging initiator for any positive change as always among my peers and students. however, i believe in the saying, "hope for the best, but plan for the worst." :) :)
