Zeitgeist
Zeitgeist is a three part documentary. Part one is about religion, its purpose is to disprove most religions. So if you are religious, please do not judge this movie by part one alone. Parts two and three are the two more important parts of this documentary, they focus on president bush and his administration, and 911.
Zeitgeist does a good job of using both sounds and images to tell a story. When the movie starts, all you see is a light, that kinda looks like a blinking star, and it speaks to you. This makes you focus on the words, and doesn't allow you to get lost in the images you see. When they are discussing 911, it shows a short paragraph that is trying to paraphrase 911. After giving you a minute to read the paragraph, they make it dark and hard to read, except for one part. They then go and explain why that part is a lie. It is a good way of breaking down what we are told what happened, and what they think happened, without confusing you. All of these techniques are good ways of getting a serious point across while keeping an audience interested.
This is a very powerful movie, it leaves a lot of questions unanswered. I feel it is important for movies like this to watched, for it is a good form of entertainment, but also talks about important issues in our society. I feel is if this movie really wants people to watch the second and third part, and by puting the part about religion before parts two and three they are doing themselves a disservice. Many people will not watch parts two and three because they are upset about what they have seen in part one.
