Zeitgeist Movie Reviews: The Truth About Zeitgeist PDF Print E-mail

The following is a growing list of Zeitgeist movie reviews that call into question Zeitgeist's dubious, if not deceptive method of sourcing, or rather not sourcing its claims in a way that is at all intellectually honest let alone accurate.

These Zeitgeist movie reviews come from various sources in varying backgrounds and all come to the same conclussion, something stinks about the so called Zeitgeist source material.

Jay Kinney reviews Zeitgeist, the Movie

"Even when quotes or sound bites are attributed to a source, there’s no way to tell if they are quoted correctly or in context.

Late in the video, there’s a supposed quote from David Rockefeller, which, if genuine, would be an astounding confession of complicity in mass manipulation. But, of course, the quote is not sourced or dated, which renders it useless. (The video’s website does feature a Sources page, but a hodge-podge list of books, with no page numbers cited, is of little value for source verification.)"

"Zeitgeist" Online Movie: Part One Refuted©

In the case of Part I of “Zeitgeist,” the majority of its source material is derived from the New Age author, Acharya S,’ book, The Christ Conspiracy. The film’s producer even writes the following on the source page for Part I: “Special thanks to Acharya S for her consultation for this section.” Acharya S’ real name is D.M. Murdock. I will endnote examples of how the narrator draws from material contained in the corresponding pages of The Christ Conspiracy. One can find book reviews of The Christ Conspiracy at Answering Acharya S and at Acharya S: Sample Points. Unfortunately, the narrator rarely quotes from primary sources.

An example of a primary source would be samples of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, inscriptions on pottery, religious texts, etc. The Christ Conspiracy, however, is a secondary source and Acharya S fails to identify the primary sources that she relies on.  "Zeitgeist" Online Movie: Part One Refuted

The Zeitgeist Claim

The Zeitgeist movie begins with the assertion that religion is a fraud and that if the intelligent reviewer will but do the indepth research the authors of Zeitgeist have done, they will reach the same contrarian result. Of course, in the movie itself, the poor narration and even grammatical errors notwithstanding, only conclusions are presented. No substantiating documents or evidence are presented. Otherwise, the movie’s sweep through thousands of years of history could not be accomplished in two hours. MOVIE REVIEW The Zeitgeist Claim

Zeitgeist, The Movie

"Zeitgeist is propaganda - Productions that make staunch social or political commentaries but do not contain verifiable sources are basically propaganda. I’m sorry to say it, but this is propaganda of the worst type entertaining, emotionally compelling, and ultimately manipulative. Time and time again, the film draws sweeping conclusions and points out ‘flaws’ in conventional thought with no basis in third-party authorities.

There are only a few instances when a verifiable source is connected with any of the claims made during the video and all too often, the arguments are simply categorical." Review of the online video Zeitgeist, The Movie » Drift Reality
