Zeitgeist

When i began to watch the video i was actually pretty interested in it. I thought that by things tasha wrote about in her entry it would very interesting. My notion of the video was right in the beggining of the film. They were saying how the mass media has gained most control over society. The fact that they mentioned that the government wants to limit our educaion felt true because i see it happening. The U.S is one of the lowest ranked countrys in education, i mean why? The funny is that most students complain that there is so much homework and that school is hard when compared to other places around the world we're not. I was in awe to hear that 9/11 was planned by the government. Although i've heard a statment like this before its hard for me to just buy into it. The fact that this video brought it up and put audio evidence is a bit weird. This is as if the gov. keeps us limited and controlled, which i don't know why i just said that because i guess it makes sense if they do. The government can't tell us everything because we'll go a bit crazy, society can't handle very important top secret things.
I have never heard of the North American Union, but by this time the narrators in the film were getting pretty biased. The news channel in the film that showed clips of video and audio is also biased and at this point i began to tune myself out. It was getting extremely obvious that this film was doing the exact same thing the media does...try to persuade the audience into believing hat they're saying.
I was indeed interested in learning of this union and how there will be a new currency which will in turn affect everyone. I also wasn't very fond of hearing that we're going to have a world government. But, i plan on finding out for myself instead of just hearing it from another source.
I guess the director of the film got what he wanted. : )
