Zeitgeist: Moving Forward (2011)
Another thought-provoking Peter Joseph film.
Zeitgeist addendum's "venus project" chapter, seemed rushed, utopian and just flat out hippie nonsense. "Moving forward" approaches the subject in a more grown up and sensible manner. I can't believe I'm saying this, but you've made a believer out of me.
But inherently that is where the problem lies. I live in Greece and things are pretty dire at the moment. And because of that fact I've become a bit of an analyst and investigator. Hence my viewing of this film and appreciating the message. To sum up, because of the present situation, I'm more susceptible to this type of proposal and to change in general.
I hope I'm wrong, but i don't think that this film will have a mass appeal in societies that are well off at the present. And that's where this type of change needs to be instigated. Solely for that reason I gave it 8*. Otherwise it would have been a flat 10.
I recommend multiple viewings before critiquing this one...
UPDATE: Now, two months after "moving forward" premiered, after heeding my own advice, I fully understand both "Addendum and Moving Forward". I give both 10/10. Nice to see, finally, recognition from main-stream media (mainly Russia today).
Ying xiong (2002)
A movie intended for people with a cultural background.
The lord of the rings is the next most read book after the bible. There is no need for me to point out its masterpiece. The movie adaptation, due to anglosaxan consumer feedback has lost its character, its subtleness and its emotion. It is a priviledge to be able to watch a film which has escaped this influence and kept all of the above intact. Few people will understand what i am trying to say because internet is a product of the anglosaxan way of life and the greatest mean of consumer feedback, which questions why I am writing this in the first place. ?>?
