Zeitgiest on netflix, what the hell doesn't take much to get your rubbish on there now does it. I find it extremely funny the first and third one are the only ones one there peters pretending like part 2 never happened.

its getting a lot of 5 stars too. :(

heres my review on net flix too bad it stopped me from going over 2000 charecters ill need to shorten it......

Long Story short waste of time.

My in depth look..
I saw this on the net back in 2007, it is a compelling watch but there is a lot of incorrect facts making the entire message unsubstantiated.
The film is in 3 parts.
Part 1
This part claims religions are false by comparing Jesus to other religions deitys. In a sentence the fundamental problem with this part is the facts concerning the other religions are incorrect. While most north Americans generally understand the idea behind Christianity, a lot of people are not going to realize the things he says about egyption mythology and other religions like buddhism ect are incorrect. The problem with this subject matter is that atheists would easily take this section at face value while Christians will just be alienated by this portion.

Part 2
This sections deals with 9/11 attacks being staged, again the movie uses a lot of false information to convey this message. For example out of context video and audio of people reacting to that attack on the news is presented as "evidence" that the buildings were out fitted with bombs. The movie then goes on to say the guys flying the planes were bad pilots and could not have hit the building. Then some guys who says the building could width stand a plane crash. Who care what anyone else says ONE GUY says the plane couldn't have taken down a building he can't be wrong. After all the talk about the building being out fitted with bombs why would they even bother crashing a plane into it. After a while the entire thing doesn't add up, and it goes on and on with non nonsensical logic what I explained was just the tip of the iceberg.

Part 3
This part goes into the corrupt nature of our banking system and it origins. As with the other 2 parts its filled with non sense of half truths to get you to accept the film makers point of view. One clear cut example I can give in this review is the movie claims in order the gain support for world war one in the USA the government staged a passenger vessel called the Lusitania to get attacked. After the film talks about the attack it literally says "and America entered the war a short time after", the states entered the war nearly 2 YEARS later. Its false or bent information like this that carrys on throughout this entire "Movie".

Not really surprising considering that a large portion of the Nefilx demographic is made up entirely of high schoolers/ college undergrads

I think it's far more shallower than that. There's 2 main types of people when it comes to Zeitgiset: Those who love it and those who wouldn't give that crazy bullshit the time of day.
