Zeitgeist (2007) IMDb
Commentary |
A milestone of cinema, comparable to deepfakes a decade later. Zeitgeist signalled that the power to make reasonably attractive, misleading mass-market documentaries was now in the hands of driven individuals, no longer requiring a pile of money or talent. It’s charmingly misanthropic, sprinkled with half-truths and involuntary appearances by Bill Hicks, Carl Sagan and long quotes from Network (1976) for rhetorical flair. It pains me to see the historicity of Jesus challenged so poorly. |
