In 2007, Zeitgeist: The Movie, undoubtedly one of the most important films on our culture, was released. The movie aims to evolve human consciousness, or at least to educate some unknowing citizens. The German word "zeitgeist" translates into "spirit" of the "time", and is defined as the general thought process and mood of society during a particular period of time. Zeitgeist is about our time.

Zeitgeist's purpose is to reveal ultimate truths about humanity and society. Watching it requires an open mind, because the ideas portrayed are extremely threatening and challenging to many peoples' personal identities. Zeitgeist focuses on myths and truths regarding religion, the events of 9/11, and U.S banks. These three topics are incredibly intertwined and their relation is explained brilliantly in this film.

Part one, "The Greatest Story Ever Told", goes in-depth about the corruption behind religion. A few people have told me personally how hard it was for them to watch it, which proves Zeitgeist's point about how deeply ingrained "faith" is in our society. Zeitgeist explains how the story of Jesus is a story of the sun, by detailing the significance of the sun and constellation trends throughout history. "It was the political establishment that sought to historize the Jesus figure for social control", the film explains. People generally believe what they are conditioned into believing, and religion's intentional conditioning plays an enormous role in the broad agenda of our world's leaders.

If part one was a lot to handle, get ready for part two, titled "All The World's A Stage", as Zeitgeist undoes "The 9/11 Myth". There is a significant amount of information in this film that clearly illustrates the U.S government's motives, leaving little doubt that 9/11 was an inside job. Zeitgeist's conclusion is that "Criminal Elements within the U.S Government staged a 'False Flag' terror attack on its own citizens, in order to manipulate public perception into supporting its agenda." According to the researched claims in Zeitgeist, 9/11 was indeed a controlled demolition. Charles Shaw, Executive Editor of online publication Reality Sandwich, points out that "Zeitgeist was running the risk of being ghettoized as "another 9/11 conspiracy movie" when it was about, and represented, so much more."

Part three, "Don't Mind The Men Behind The Curtain", reveals the fraudulent nature of the banking systems that virtually govern the world. Zeitgeist exhibits the most disturbing element of America- the fact that it is not a free country anymore, but most Americans believe it is. Brainwashed into thinking that we have choices and freedom and liberty, our thought processes are deeply affected and essentially controlled by the governments, religions, and industries that stem from massive banking institutions. Many corrupt laws have been made since 9/11, ironically, opened up the doors leading to the eventual end of the Constitution, and democracy.
