    Sensationalist. Too horrible for me to watch. Turned it OFF within first minute. I guess everything is possible, and who can tell the scale? Mercifully, most people are not saddled with the loss of hundreds or more loved ones in a short time. Scale is everything, and makers of this film have their own agenda. Too bad they let demonic mind force job-creep into their work to such extent.

    Film is also in a sense ironic, in that one reason for global resource depletion, proliferation of nuclear power plants, and climate change brought about by fossil fuel burned to make electricity IS CONSUMPTION of electrical power by people wanting to be entertained or scared or whatever by power-hungry media portals such as our computers and televisions.

    BTW, if ZEITGEIST is its title, the film is beyond disgusting.

    Well no. Solar panels wind turbines hydroelectric ( not dams) also recently science has figured how to harness energy from gravity. And sure in a sense this iPhone I am using right now is made from some pretty horrible things but the effects of helping people insight into things like ignorance of money is in no way harmful. I enjoyed it bc I've always felt so out of Place in society now I know why. I don't watch television hardly except nature documentaries. I'd rather see 20 million people watch the movie zeitgeist than people watching some news station that covers complete garbage topics. And sure these people have some kind of personal gain because how else does one live now a days without money?

    I thought it was okay. Not sure what I think about all three parts, however. Especially the last one.

    I just finished it 2 hr 24 mins or so. I thought it was very interesting how it explained how originally economics in society was created to improve the life of all beings and be sustainable. Then delusion warped it and egos could flourish.

    If you turned it off within the first minute, how do you know it's sensationalist and horrible?

    Why? :lol:

    Oops, Guess I must have arrived at some different site somehow. The version I was referring to opened with a lot of rampant global destruction. I thought it was the work of some apocalypse-preaching so-called Christian. Saw now a version with greenish old time scrambled television screen effects with a man talking about the board game Monopoly. What followed seemed to convey what I'd call a Buddhist ethic. Will get back.

    Sorry, but when world war three is playing out on me television, Eyes turn It OFF!

    Apologies, everyone!

    Didn't see it. I thought it was socialist or collectivist, maybe I am wrong. I know we really need to change what we are doing, but the idea of even more government involvement and largess in our lives won't help.
    Before anyone jumps on me as right wing, I am not; they love government largess just as much as the left loves our current wars-statist-all the same. I am so sick of the left/right paradigm.
    Have a happy evening!

    It is about a resource based economy that doesn't involve banks money and is more based on localization. So rather than chasing after money and buying plots of land everything is shared if there was a sailboat at the beach no one could claim ownership and if you wanted to take it for a ride no one would mind as long as you returned it in the condition it was in previous to being used.
    People work together to produce only what they needed water food warmth ie( water crops maintain renewable energy sources) then after that is taken care of the rest of the day is there to spend it however the individual chooses.
    Obviously it goes way deeper but this is a broad overview.
