Zeitgeist: Addendum - The Emperor

In Zeitgeist I, not one single clip from the movie has any real experts interviewed to discuss the subjects. In Zeitgeist II, people are pulled in from the Venus Project, who, like the creator believes our economic system needs to be completely changed and this expert presents his points better than Peter Joseph ever could. He also brings in a former "economic hit man" to a personal reflection on his duties in Latin America, and to talk about U.S. coups in general since the 1953 overthrow of the Shah of Iran. This part of the movie is particularly insightful and what I believe was the highlight. Many of the facts in this section, and the movie in general were facts that I knew were true, something which Zeitgeist I predominantly couldn't do. In Zeitgeist I, many conspiracy theories, many of which only really gave shady coincidences and was given too little evidence to back up, because they wanted to cover so many areas they couldn't prove their arguments, making the movie weak. This movie is much more focused in subject matter and I'd say 60-75% of the facts in this movie are backed up by at least one clear, reliable source or is just common knowledge. I was amazed by how many obviously true statements of common knowledge were made in this movie, but the applications in the ideas are anything but common and I was impressed by this.
