Interreflections

You may or may not agree with everything in this movie, nonetheless, this is one of those films everyone must watch, if only to begin the conversation.

Humanity, you've been waiting for Interreflections for about 12 thousand years....

This film, unlike any other socially conscious film ever made, offers answers to questions you didn't even know you had. And it will take you places you never thought were possible.

It truly is a transcendent work of art, social commentary, and vision for a far better world than we have now. HIGHLY recommended!

This is essentially a two hour and a half monologue in the voice of different actors intertwined with two different storylines. The first is some kind of sci-fi short story and the second consists of a series of expressionist metaphors intended to reinforce ideas conveyed by the monologue. Together the three components add up to the two hours and forty five minutes total duration of the footage.

The main issue with the monologue itself is that it is purely ideological, meaning non-factual and poorly documented.

The artistic insertions, on the other hand, happen to be hackneyed, predictable and poorly executed, whereas the short story end ups being a commercial pitch to raise funds for an "utopian" futuristic design project.

All in all, the whole thing is pretty boring. The only reason I gave it five starts is because, if soporifeous, this thing remains an attemp for refocusing the debate on crucial issues.

Just like the book, this piece contains a lot of the information necessary to understanding the sociological conditions we are in, how we got here, and what true economic system based on equality and sustainability would look like. As well as how imperative it is.

Although for those who know extensively the things Peter talks about, in his lectures and other media, then this is basically a condensed rehash. If you've seen his lectures/interviews like viable systems and improbable democracy on YT, then this covers most of that.

This is not a movie you put on to be entertained. It's a movie you watch and listen closely, because the information is of vital importance to our survival as a species. Especially now, in our confused and divided society mired in conflict and inequality.

The points raised and information given here is not really discussed at all on the left. And that's really ashame because Peter is a messenger. This is not his theories or something derived from his own anecdotal experiences. The left and any activist for human rights or advocate of social equality needs to see this. People on the Trump train or people on the right would probably dismiss this entirely. But this isn't for them.

The movie isnt perfect of course. It's very heavy and dense. I watched it in two parts. Just a ton of information and pretty grim. It's the truth though. Like staring into the sun, but the truth nonetheless and thats why it needs a 10. You sadly won't get the entire puzzle from any single person out there. Just pieces of it. Thankfully Peter has it all here and that's pretty special.

This film is basically a regurgitated lecture of Peter Joseph's lectures. One character in the film is played as a professor and is quoted as saying "Some things were considered external to this contrived competitive game they called business" This clearly sounds way too much how Peter Joseph uniquely talks.

The script was indigestible and felt like a course instead of a movie. There was literally no plot. I guess you can say there was a tiny storyline, but it was clouded out by over used jargon. It was very hard to keep my eyes on it for nearly 3 hours.

The Good:

• The music was nice and fit the scenery of the film very well.
• I follow Peter Joseph's work, so I do find the topics in the film extremely important

The Bad:

• No plot. Not a documentary. My guess is you can call it a Mockumentary
• Acting is so bad. Like really bad. I can't knock the actors. Al Pacino himself wouldn't be able to give life to such a script.
• The special effects and color grading was bad and pretentious at best. Overblown soft tones and lumination was a bit nauseating.

Conclusion: I gave the rating of this film a 2 and not a 1 because I felt that the film's topic is important. Capitalism is an extremely inefficient system. Although we have no other system better to replace it, we have elitist fans who defend Capitalism which ultimately impedes on any progress to our social condition.

This film feels as though it's directed at Peter himself and those who agree heavily with the Zeitgeist Movement. If there was any attempt to bring further outreach to those outside this circle or provide an enjoyable movie, then this Film failed miserably. If there was no attempt to bring further outreach and it was created purely to provide a somewhat entertaining outlook of the movement for those WITHIN the circle, I think it did well.
