Hi all,

Yesterday I watched a movie at Google, and it did shock me!

It's a documentary film about the origin of christian faith; how American banks have seized worldpower at the beginning of the 20th century; how these two items are related to the wars fought in the 20th and 21st century. In other words, the movie gives us an absolutely different view on such subjects as religions, 11th September, and the Federal Reserve of the USA.

Here is the link.

I admit that it's a long movie (118 mins), but if you don't mind spending so much time to watch it... please, tell us what YOU think of this. What do you think the truth is?

I'll really appreciate your opinion.

P.S. The film is in English but you can watch it with different subtitles (French, Italian, Spanish, Slovak, Finnish, Slovenian, etc).

No idea neither reality or illusion because the name of the doc. already scared me away. Frankly I have never heard it before so I think it is completely waste time. If it is kind of shock stuff, that is even worse. Watching movies for fun, not give of oneself nightmare, hovering it in your head for a while.

Even though I have never seen it, I think it is crapy so why waste time on it.

What you describe, that doesnt sound like doc to me. It seems to me there is some history background other than that, what else there is real?

Frankly, I don't know what to reply you, BW2/3, if just a mere name can scary you away (where does this fear come from?), if you judge something you have never seen, and if you even don't have any wish to go into it. But you know what's funny? Your reaction was kind of predictable. Wink [;)] The movie concerns it as well, by the way.

Thanks for your feedback anyway! It's better than a thread consisting of the first post only. Smile [:)]

I told you the name aleady made me not to see the doc. I judged by what you've written in the post. How can I go to watch it the way you described it?  It is a crap about the doc from my perception.
