Zeitgeist – The new movie
Remastered Final Version of
Zeitgeist.
Zeitgeist is a German language expression literally translated: Zeit, time; Geist, spirit, meaning “the spirit of the age and its society”. The word zeitgeist describes the intellectual, cultural, ethical and political climate, ambience and morals of an era or also a trend. In German, the word has more layers of meaning than the English translation, including the fact that Zeitgeist can only be observed for past events.
The film opens with a collection of visual art, film footage and audio quotes. It starts with a speech by Chögyam Trungpa about spirituality, followed by a series of musically synchronized clips of war and explosions culminating with the September 11 attacks. This is followed by another sequence of clips, this time showing war casualties. The film’s title screen is displayed, and Jordan Maxwell’s Inner World of the Occult is quoted, which criticizes religious institutions, governments, and banking cartels who are alleged to “have misled [the people] away from the true and divine presence in the universe.” The film’s intro ends with a portion of a George Carlin monologue on religion and an accompanying animated cartoon.
