WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH "ZEITGEIST?"

Whatever nuggets of truth one may happen to extract from this semi-literate, ill-researched production should be checked thoroughly. It is about the sloppiest job of filmmaking I have ever seen.

The filmmaker confuses "adorn" with "adore," calls William Jennings Bryan "William Jennings," and incorporates the whole Jesus/Horus parallel from the totally-discredited writings of Gerald Massey, who seems to have created such analogies in order to "liberate the mind from the dwarfing and blighting effect of pagan and Christian mythology."

Though it occasionally says some good things (and quotes Bill Hicks), "Zeitgeist" is a stinker.
