Interreflections

Great mix of art and facts in here about the direction the world is going - and that isn't pretty.. We elect presidents and other leaders that are just, more or less, psychopaths and power seeking people! I sometimes think that most people are too "blind" to understand what is going on around them and in the world (maybe busy working, or they probably don't have enough all-embracing knowledge to understand what is really happening. Sadly). InterReflection gives, at least me, hope that more people will "wake up" from their wicked/disturbed sense of reality - and maybe, at least maybe start to wonder if we actually could go in the direction of making the world better. Far better! Hm, how many "Trumps or Bidens" (of any of those fools) will we elect before we finally wake up and realises that this isn't working anymore...

InterReflection is very important, and at least for me, a masterpiece!

Didn't care about any of the characters. Wall of text in the form of a Drama documentary, target audience of true believers. With no sense of humor, no feeling. I cried in the Zeitgeist movies 1 & 2. This one made me yawn and fast forward.

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.

I had been waiting for several years for this movie to come out, so was extremely nervous (and excited) about what Peter's latest movie would be like and whether it would meet my high expectations.

I felt the movie successfully delivered in providing its viewers with a realistic (although somewhat pessimistic) view of today's society, in particular our misaligned, divisive values and the systems (e.g. Advertising) that continually reinforce these values in our culture.

I particularly enjoyed the storyline between the activists and the establishment but I felt this could have included a little more action and slightly less dialogue.

One of the major highlights of the movie for me included the frequent symbolism in the movies (such as the crashing train analagy), i.e. The movie allowed some points to be shown using symbols and metaphor rather than spoonfeeding us every detail. There was also some humour in the film (such as "this is apple juice") but I was pleased this wasn't overdone, which could have detracted from the serious messages this film is trying to convey. My absolute favourite part of the movie was the final 10 minutes - what a beautiful and inspiring vision!

Peter's greatest strength as a film-maker is explaining complex concepts (such as relative poverty, the pepertual-debt-based money system, the scarcity vs infinite consumption paradox, the economic roots of oppresion / slavery, etc) in a very simple, easy to digest manner. He covers a LOT of points here, but i feel it's a good balance between explaining concepts explicitly and illustrating them symbolically.

Overall, i really loved the film and it definitely met & even exceeeded my expectations. Along with Peter's other works, I would definitely recommend this film to anybody, particularly if you don't mind being intellectually challenged and are open-minded enough to seeing the world through a different lense.
