Zeitgeist: Addendum (2008 Video)
9/10
Much better than the first!
15 November 2016
I admit that the main reason why I find this so much better than the original is because this one didn't focus on 911 conspiracy theories. It does briefly reference it, but it's in no way the main focus. I believe this is a very irrational belief that must stop. Anyway, this movie was divided into four parts, but it didn't seem to really talk about the same subjects in each. Well, the first part was certainly about money. I especially love this because of how hopeful it was near the end. I stand by the notion that it's hypocritical to say that religion is dumb while believing in conspiracy theories.

Still, this film makes much better arguments. Aww, we get to hear that nice narrator's voice throughout the whole movie! The best part is probably when he's talking about money. It was great to have audio from Bill Hicks and George Carlin. They certainly support what the movie says. I was expecting them to say abandon religion at the end. Of course, they're probably implying that we should. Just remember Mr. Rogers. It's impossible for an awful ideology to make someone that good. I also like when it says that technology is the most tangible thing.

This film supports few institutions and ideals. Food, location, and science are about the only "real things" that this film seems to praise. It does raise the question of how you'd build a tunnel for a train that fast. I'd think that would be pretty expensive. Well, I probably just need to do more research. With Donald Trump becoming President, we need to focus less on materialism than ever. Wait, isn't technology technically a material? I've never heard of a documentary film series before or even a documentary sequel. I thought Michael Moore was making one at one point. ***1/2
