This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
The first must-see film of the year.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
It had a lot of interesting things in the documentary and if you bothered you could go look it up to see what's true and what's not because there are both but that's where the good ends. I don't think the documentary knew what the hell it wanted to talk about half the time and the flow was terrible. Also, it's super biased. I really liked the first one because it just told something. It never really gave an opinion although it clearly had one. At least I don't remember the opinion being stated quite the same. From what I call the first one brought up problems with out society as it relates to religion, government, and banking in 3 parts and never got all jumbled like this one. I don't know how this has like the same score as the first.
You won't find much good information in this doco. But you have to watch this to see everything after they introduce the guys from the "venus project" bit.As soon as this starts the documentary deteriorates into absolute nonsense. It's fantastic to watch. The misunderstandings of economics in this part t are un-challeged in the history of human civilisation. From something that seemed to be about the monetary system we go into metaphysics and god and religion and Love, terrorism , maglev trains. Statistics and extremely facile arguments are this documentary's main weapon of comedy. Just watch this when your feeling a bit down and cheer up! At least you don't believe this stuff!
This masterpiece, although it hasn't mentioned nearly enough about the motivation of money & it's effects on people beside the idea that money is the same as debt, offers us so much information to "what's really going on", that when you see it the 1st time, it will probably blow your mind. After you get passed the fact that you are astonished by the information that is given to you on a silver platter, you will begin to give a lot of credit to Joseph Peter, and I for one really believe in such a future as the one mentioned in the "Venus Project". I am 20 years old of age and I started college approximately 1 year ago. The reason I'm mentioning my age & the fact that I'm in college is because this documentary made me feel proud of myself for not choosing to go to a Military/Police Academy, respectively, because of this documentary I am now even more proud that I didn't choose to study Economics or Politics, and that I decided on studying Electronics Engineering. Technology is the wave of the future & money is the root of all evil things for that matter, basically this is what Zeitgeist Addendum is all about. Technology can provide, money is just a front, a means of oppression. The sooner everybody will find this out, the better for our future generations, that is if money won't mean the end of everything... This documentary, in my opinion, also focuses on "hope for a better future". I'm really happy to know that there are people out there who really believe in a brighter tomorrow, in a world like the "Venus Project", where routine jobs will be extinct & where most importantly I quote a phrase from the Zeitgeist: "no one will be left behind". Kinda brings tears to your eyes when you think about how things are & how things should be... doesn't it.
This movie really opened up my eyes as to how we are trapped in a system that will inevitably fail. The only reason I haven't spent more of my spare time fighting it has been that I didn't know how to make the world function in a different way.Ever since I was a little kid I have always believed that a) People should work together on agreed goals instead of competing with one another, and that b) Every necessity of life should be handed out to every single person - clean water, food, clothes, shelter, health care, education, electricity and means of traveling the Earth. Without anything demanded from them in return. When that is taken care of, luxury items can be produced out of whatever is left of the Earths resources and bought by those who choose/volunteer to educate themselves and work despite having all they really need at hand for free. Then I saw this movie, and got hooked on its ideas!
