Zeitgeist dvd Cover
I will present you a really controversial movie: “Zeitgeist” (2007) by Peter Joseph. It could be cataloged as a “conspiracy theory movie”. The movie is quite interesting and states things that you probably never considered. Like a real “Da Vinci code” goes deep into many parts of human history arguing that religion, wars, entertainment, media, and education among others, are just a method of control. That the world as we know it is only is only a distortional image manipulated by a small group of people.
It is really reasonable to think that part of this movie message is totally truth as it is coherent and similar cases has been proved before along human history. By the other hand, the movie also makes many statements without having convincing proves and the usage of quotations without referencing is repetitive, making some of them really questionable.
It is also really interesting to observe that there are a lot of people putting effort in giving this information to the public, and in most of the cases without any clear economical interest. This movie for example was put inside the internet in a free way with the only aim of being watched.
It also impressive how people along history saying similar things where always killed or silenced. Now a days it is enough just to defame them, treat them as out of mind people, and just ignore them or even laugh about them. Now society itself does the work, when being and thinking in a “normal” way is the only socially accepted way, who is telling us what is normal?
Please watch the movie by yourself this is a really good topic for discussion. Here there is a link to the movie, but you can find it in other sources, probably with subtitles in other languages.
