Zeitgeist: Moving Forward plot
"This Shit's Got to Go!"
A documentary that provides insight into the self-contained world view in which today's society regulates its economic traffic. We look beyond the traditional ideology and things like 'but that will never be possible' etc. and instead look at the basic principles on which our world is socially and economically organized and maintained. As a result, we can derive a new kind of economic system for the world, called the 'resource-based economy' .

Strange frequencies.
After a nice philosophical conversation with the viewer, fired at a killer pace, in which the developmental psychology is partly disproved, fatigue sets in a bit. That is not due to the high number of gray heads who, despite the invisibly associated with the head of hair, present their diverse opinions as semi-sciences at natural speed, but rather because of the amount of information that, partly substantiated, can raise many question marks. And above all do it, despite all the good intentions.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of fresh counter-movement, of course, especially when many wrongs are snidely exposed. Yet this chaotic 'documentary' lacks clarity, which is disastrous for the end result. Sometimes it is simply possible to explain better and to juggle less with ideas that we cannot simply assume are feasible at all. The question is whether humans are as beautiful as people would have us believe here. We already knew that he is very ugly and stupid.
But without going into too much content on somewhat interesting material, it is in particular the form, that of film, that is below par in many areas. Audio-visually, this is almost impossible to see and hear. Especially the idiotic noises and strange frequency tones that seem to put the viewer in a certain state of mind, rather arouse irritation and aggression towards this ugly film. When finally a real piece of cinema comes along with a Bildenberger and some riot police, this super sweet, infomercial-smelling mini-movie turd closes the far too long whole appropriately. In a stinky way.
Mediocre.

Nagging and short-sighted documentary that tries to refute contemporary problems with unfounded arguments and sketches a BE-LA-CHE-corpse utopian worldview. Seriously, as if I wanted to live on such a monotonous globe. While the Zeitgeist movement can address contemporary issues well (overshadowing the positive sides, but oh well), it is heading in the wrong direction and has a lot of out of the blue arguments and connections. Perhaps more content later, let it sink in for a while.
2* for some strong charges.

Final verdict:
Bad documentary, I can't give a better judgment.
As far as I know, the rules of journalism are still adversarial.
In this documentary, only the people are chosen to hang their stories that fit the thinking world of the makers. This takes away from credibility.
The topics that are chosen have hardly anything to do with each other or are linked to each other by means of very strange bridges. So the whole thing is confused.
The structure of the story is also quite weird, problems > solution > problems.
There is also a lot wrong with the film. Animations that are distracting, that have nothing to do with the story or that belong in a horror film. but it doesn't support the sound at all.
Furthermore, there are many fun and interesting elements and analyzes that make it worth another star. By the way, the solution given in this documentary is indeed nice, but it is utopian.
