Say what you want, but you must admit that this movie was probably one of the greatest progressive successes during the last years.

I doubt the claims of this movie. It seems to be an exaggeration, at least in the first part about Christianity. Not that I believe in Christianity, but some claims of the movie to associate the different mythological figures with Jesus were far from true. For example, the author tried associating Krishna's myth (Indian mythology) with that of Jesus by twisting the myth itself.

I'm watching Addendum for the first time (there is nothing about Christianity in this movie btw) and find it very good. Haven't gotten to the conclusions bit yet, but it explains how we're tied hands and feet to the monetary system quite nicely :)

This seems interesting...how long does it go for? (limited internet credit).

This is not Zeitgeist I but Zeitgeist II.

[Q]

I just finished watching the movie and have to say it's very good. The only (but major) point of criticism I have is that is only calls for a vague "mentality change" and a set of useless boycots. The movie points very good to the need to change society by revolution, but defines that as a "revolution of ideas" which is not offering concrete steps forward from our current position.

But other then that, it does a great job in explaining how society works a by putting forward the alternative of a communist society without naming it communism (thusly avoiding negative connotations).

Oops! Sorry, I thought it was Zeitgeist I, because I never came to know that II has also been released. What is it about? I am sorry I can't view the video directly because of my AMD system on Linux which can't play flash.:crying:
But I will try to get this movie from some other sources.:cool:

If you're running a 64-bit system, there are ways to run flash. Ask on your distribution's forum how.
