walter radunsky Peter Joseph's documentary, 'Zeitgeist: Moving Forward' cites a long list of social and economic problems and then in end proposes that the great solution to all these problems is more technological automation. In other words, rather than suggesting even a single socioeconomic reform, the filmmaker claims that the best way to solve all of our economic and social problems is by simply using technology to exponentially increase unemployment. I'm not sure whether Peter Joseph is trying to be conniving, is just plain stupid, or is simply like so many other Americans who are far too fixated on the next computer gadget and irreparably brainwashed with simple-minded and delusional ideologies to come up with any genuine social and economic advances. In any case, while much of the critique in 'Zeitgeist' is valid and even undeniable, it ultimately proves to be nothing more than a 2 1/2 hour infomercial.

tim-537-381539 The filmmakers certainly capture attention with facts and information about natural resources, materialistic culture, and bring to front and center many serious and credible issues facing the human race and the planet. Unfortunately, they failed to get even one contrarian argument and frequently edited their subjects to fit their agenda.What started out as an excellent and important subject for serious discussion and attention turned into gobbledygook when they filmmakers went on a tirade about how the world should work.Nothing wrong with a little bit of naive idealism, but if you're going to make a movie about such serious subject matter, you should have a clue about how the real world works and how problems are actually solved.

theunderdogeffect A really, really good documentary...but, "preaching" what Buddha and countless others preached over the time, things like "be good" ..."help others"...etc, etc ...all these discussions around how we should be, how we could be, and how we are not, do not really help, they do no harm also, don't get me wrong, they might actually help on the long run, which i hope, but, i know me, as an example ... i am aware of these things, and still, do nothing about it ... i don't like it, i'm scare of it, but still do nothing besides giving it 2-3 thoughts, tell my friends about the movie/doc, and go on with my pursue for money and "wealth"...so getting back to "Buddha" ...should i understand, that we, the modern civilization, just discovered we are retards? seriously?...offcourse we are, history knows better, but the sad thing is, we go on, and do it again, and again, and again ...and yes, might not be genetic, but it's close ... it's almost impossible to ask for current generations to change, but we could prepare the ground for future generations...such great words ..."prepare the ground for future generations" ...and such clichés ...
