But,

If you haven seen it, go here and let it load;then, in peace, watch the entire movie.

I myself thought it was an incredible, eye opening movie.

I only like the religion part. Other than that (and actually including some of it), meh.

It really is an incredible piece of film-making.

Nothing but propaganda

Nothing but propaganda

I'd say it's more speculation.

 

[cookiecutter]

It's ridiculous bullshit

 

[Death Aflame]

38 minutes in and the narrator has bludgeoned me with the slightly more than obvious fact that Christianity is heavily related to the religions and myths that came before it. I am still wondering what the point is, or where he is going with all this.

I haven't seen the whole thing yet, but outside of a well edited Vertovian/Eisensteinian introduction I see nothing incredible about this film from a formal or aesthetic perspective.

Edit: Got bored and stopped watching as I don't really give a fuck about conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11 (though I am well aware of the factual inconsistencies surrounding the event)

 

[cookiecutter]

9/11 conspiracy theories are absurd

 

[Mort Divine]

All conspiracies are absurd until you realize that - shit this country was created via a conspiracy.

Some of the more outlandish ones are really laughable though.

 

[King Richard]

Yeah and the world was flat at one time too.

The legitimacy of one conspiracy theory is irrelevant to the legitimacy of another.

 

[Mort Divine]

I'm not saying the 9/11 conspiracy has a backbone, but then people like you will jump off of the platform of that one not having one to none of them having one.

 

[cookiecutter]

wat

 

[The Ozzman]

[cookiecutter]

After further review I think he is saying that people like me will say that since the 9/11 conspiracy theory is bogus then all other conspiracy theories are bogus. In response I shall quote myself again:

"The legitimacy of one conspiracy theory is irrelevant to the legitimacy of another."

 

[skeptik]

Ignore him, he believes in ghosts and is afraid of the dark.

 

[The_Quadfather]

I am by no means a denouncer of religion or a conspiracy theorist, although such arguments intrigue me. Consequently, a friend of mine provided me with a link to a movie called "Zeitgiest". The movie argues against Christianity, 9/11, and the government's overall objectives stemming from 9/11.

The movie is just under two hours and can be viewed at this location:

I thoroughly enjoyed it! If anyone else has either seen the movie or decides to watch it, please let me know what you think. Check it out, I don't think you'll be disappointed...

 

[FenriR]

Funky. I'll give it a look.

 

[cookiecutter]

I find 9/11 conspiracy theories offensive and incredibly stupid. Therefore I dislike this movie.
