This film is the modern day version of convincing the populous that the earth is round and not flat. Please Watch it.

This is what should of been shown last night following the theatre of "The state of the Union"....then let the people decide what is more important the illusion of money or the deeper love for the evolution of humanity?

Yes know thyself is important, in my humble opinion it is important to have alternatives because our supposed "govern-ments" are destroying and oppressing the essence of humanity.....

Brialliant in every way and REVOLUTIONARY!

I was disappointed that it mostly covered the same ground as the previous film, Zeitgeist: Addendum, while not including any info about how this movement intends to actually move forward and transition to a new society, other than the vague fantasy sequence at the end. Peter Joseph does not seem to be conscious of his own unconscious assumptions; I could make a documentary about him that said, "Science [GIVEN], Industrialism [GIVEN], Progress [GIVEN], Computers [GIVEN], Cities [GIVEN], Mining [GIVEN], Monolithic Totalitarian Global Homogeneity [GIVEN]" etc. I think those sacred cows should be questioned as well. As a Nonviolent Communication geek, was delighted with the focus on fundamental human needs, but when the prescription part of the movie came, once again the focus was all on the built environment and the needs of industry, and the idea of human needs seems to have been forgotten. I wanted to know what kind of a culture they had in mind--what would the people spend all day doing? Instead of a Resource-Based Economy, I would like to see a Needs-Based Economy. How about that? I was caught by the line, "nature is a dictatorship." While I agree with the line of thinking that led up to that section, this particular phrase seems to invite the corallary, "thus a dictatorship is only natural." I'm sure they'd say that the Venus Project is not really a dictatorship, since a supercomputer is the dictator, rather than a human demagogue. Don't worry, the machine knows what's good for you better than you do. The Resoruce-Based Economy is claimed to be "ground-up" and if this were to be imposed on the world with no chance to opt out, and no chance for indigenous peoples to opt out, we might indeed find ourselves ground up in the wheels of progress. As chilling as I find their Logan's Run vision of utopia, I'm thrilled to see such a robust denunciation of money, property and exchange.

I think I could make a better documentary on these same themes, and I've already begun filming it. It's called, "Forgiving D.C." I take Washington, D.C. as the central reference point for my critique that spans every major aspect of society as we know it. I think the answer lies in better human communication, conflict-resolution, and cooperative decision-making systems, not in giving our volition over to a computer.

I agree with Hellwell and Nexus. His film once again focuses on science and technology as being the primary solution to our self-destructive path that we are currently on. While I somewhat agree to a certain extent with the film's explanation for the cause for our current situation I feel the film still falls short of the true and ONLY solution to our situation, and that is Unity. It is absolutely crucial that society reconnects with each other and begin working together and for each other selflessly without the expectation for compensation or reward. An organism at war with itself will die, and that applies to all aspects of Universe. While the film hinted at community participation, I felt the film underestimated the importance of community and the significance of the collective consciousness. As was mentioned earlier, technology in and of itself is completely irrelevant. If we don't come together then technology is moot. While I'm sure technology could potentially be a very useful tool, I do not view technology as THE solution but rather a possible result of THE solution, which is Us.

I agreed with Benjamin Stewart's, "Kymatica", much more.

I still enjoyed ZMF, and while I may not agree with everything in the film I still feel this film is having a profound effect throughout society across the planet, and is an excellent catalyst for waking people up.

One crowning characteristic of Zeitgeist is its lack of balance and extreme stance on most of the messages it tries to deliver. The first two films blatantly opposed the United States almost explicitly- okay, that's all good because our culture is very sick. This doesn't address the countless countries still stuck in dark ages: children raised in brothels, prostitutes who are too young to have even developed breasts, spiritual and racial bigotry, countries still striving for atomic/nuclear/chemical weapons- war paranoia induced by weak and insecure countries, religious wars, etc. They also explicitly downplayed the archetypal significance and historical reality of the judeo-christian mythology/spirituality. Rather than affirming any of the historical legitimacy, Zeitgeist seemed to slander the Christ and Apostle archetypes, reducing their essence to mere zodiacal symbols. That maneuver is extremely counter-intuitive, counter-productive, and in its extreme reductionism nearly counter-progressive. This displays a rather specific and limited scope in respect to what seems to be the goal of the movement. The whole Zeitgeist team would do well to inform of the significance of the archetypes in a raw mythological form than to mash spiritually deconstructive and sociopolitical messages into a two hour stream of dubiously subliminal symbols and sounds (As with the very similar Esoteric Agenda and Kymatica films).

But in the other shoe its lack of balance and idealism are great for breaking the trance of religio-politiconsumerism that afflicts billions of people; the journey of watching revolutionary documentaries and having your worldview radically altered leads individuals to transcendence of the films themselves anyway. The most any of these films will do is assist individuals in finding a deprogrammed worldview, which is what is needed for world change. Unfortunately some of the older generations will see this as nazi gobbeldy-gook and schlockmeisterism. The passing of Saturn and revolution of Uranus will tell what is to come.

I'd say the Zeitgeist movement is officially just another high pitch resource to offer folks who want to start a path of deprogramming and disillusioned worldview.
