Have you watched it? What did you think of it?

I have a lot of things to criticize, specially the way it doesn't touch (or oversimplifies) issues like race, class and other social dynamics. The 'we are all the same, we have the same struggles, if we let aside a monetary system everything will change' annoyed me. It kinda ignored other forms of discrimination which are very tied to "The Monetary System," but not completely dependent of it. The segment about religion being bad was way oversimplified. And that final sequence of white corporate-people succumbing and leaving aside their corporate ways, and people of color being... stereotypical? Yeah, it all starts with a white man.

But I loved it. I sincerely loved it. Great documentary. It was truly eye-opening even if I don't agree with everything. Maybe I will talk about it in another entry.

You can watch it here: http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/add_spanish.htm (Spanish subs). I recommend it.

I haven't watched the first movie by the way.
