the zeitgeist movie

i am anxious to hear what this board has to say about it. i watched it for the first time last night and don't quite know what to make of it, as i have never been one to buy into conspiracy theories (mainly because i don't believe that thousands of people can be in on a secret without there being whistle-blowers).

if you don't know what the zeitgeist movie is, it can be viewed at www.zeitgeistmovie.com, but it will require about 2 hours of your time.

so please, my fellow cult followers, comment away.

This is a fake version of Disney's Aladdin (called Aladin). Here, Aladin sings of his love, Soraya, and how he does not deserve her because he's so dumb.

Never heard wiser words.

Here are the lyrics for those who want to sing along:

Ach, wo steht mir bloß der Kopf?
Ich schau' auf einen Suppentopf.
Auf eine Kanne für Kaffee,
doch ganz egal, wohin ich seh',
immer nur die Eine da,
Soraya, oh, Soraya.

Fünf mal Fünfzehn, das macht Sieben.
Käse wird mit "v" geschrieben,
achtzehn Beine hat das Pferd,
das Wasser brennt im Küchenherd.
Alles falsch, nur Eines wahr:
Soraya, oh Soraya.

Im Kopfe ist mir ganz benommen,
alles ist total verschwommen,
im Nebel selbst das Sonnenlicht,
ich sehe meine Zehen nicht.
Alles trüb, nur Eines klar:
Soraya, oh Soraya.

Alle Freunde in der Gasse,
auch die Brühe in der Tasse,
da die Lampe, hier die Butter,
selbst der Rock von meiner Mutter.
Alles fern, nur Eines nah:
Soraya, oh Soraya. (less)

Ok I'll bite.
The movie's bogus. They used very liberal interpretations for most of the religious segment. They used easily disproved evidence for the 9/11 segment (google debunking 9/11). And the singular world government segment is just ludacris, poorly interpreting history to make a ridiculous assertion.

This movie (and conspiracy theories in general) is for stupid people who want to feel like they know something that everyone is ignorant to, it really pisses me off...

yeah lastman, i'm with you. watching the movie spurred me to do a lot of reading on the subjects it covered, and as you asserted, most of the "facts" they present seem to be bogus. i dunno. i just like asking questions and hearing what people (especially people that love adam & drew like i do) have to say.

I don't get why people hang on to these conspiracy theories about shit that happened in the past, like the Kennedy assassination, the moon landing, etc. Can't people just focus on the shit that's happening NOW?

whether or not u buy into the whole conspiracy theory thing, ther eis one thisng in that movie that is ABSOLUTELY TRUE NO MATTER WHAT:


americans are stupid dumbed down mother fuckers who live thier entire lives as slaves to the media, alcohol, drugs, and so forth... theres a part in the movie where the guy says "theres people pulling the strings and controlling your life and you dont even know it!" also when they talk about how americans dont care baout anythign except thier TV, and their toaster and thier AC units... very true!

like the movie says... less than 3% of americans read books. people out there care more about britney spears and paris hilton, than they care about important shit like improving education and keeping little 14 yr old girls from GETTING PREGNANT. americans eat like the tv, dress like tv, act like tv, and think like the tv. WAKE UP PEOPLE.. we are all slaves to debt and the ILLUSION OF "american dream"

anyways... no matter what u think about 9/11 or religion, you must agree that americans by in large are fucking idiots who let TV and the media run thier lives

i never said people in africa are better off.... my whole point is that most americans are laves to the illusion of the "american dream"

they live thier entire lives worried about thier SUV and thier house and their bank account and they spend little or no time educating themselves beyond what they need to make money.

people are born to be free and independant. culture is different all around the world, and therefore lifestyle is diff too.. are you saying that africans lives suck becasue they have less material "things?" i think what matters most is a persons internal feeling of worth, esteem, and freedom. the problem here in america is that our ENTIRE sense of worht, esteem, and freedon is centered around owning "stuff," and that SUX

I was saying people in other countries like African countries aren't any better off because they don't have as many things as some people in North America or other continents.

Yes I've read them all, except the last one, I had matured too much by the time it came out to care anymore, but I read them all as a kid 4 times each.

"I would like to see a reliable source for that statistic because that sounds like a load of crap."

ok im gonna look up a reliable source becasue ill be honest and say thats "what i heard." Also, BUYING a book is not the same as READING a book. I know plenty of people who buy shit tons of books and never even get past the first chapter. How many people bought Harry Potter and didnt read it?

Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but every book I've ever purchased, I've read. I've never bought a book and then not read it. Seems like it'd be a waste of money.
