Aus dem Nichts (2017)
Film of the year
I watched this film with no expectations and was blown away by the depth and quality on offer. Firstly its a very well told story with Diane Kruger giving one of the best performances I've ever seen. She gives a real performance for a genuine lead who struggles with the death of loved ones. The court case is superbly executed with an unforgettable performance from Johannes Krisch and the suspense in the final chapter is gut wrenchingly powerful. This is easily the best film I've seen this year and I'm now going to look at Fatih Akin's previous work.
Zeitgeist: Addendum (2008)
Superb documentary
Its good to see both 'Zeitgeist' and 'Zeitgeist Addendum' getting good reviews on IMDb which is a lot more than can be said for wikipedia. The only reviews it shows are journalistic slants by people who generally just refuse the information upon first viewing. My opinion is these people are so caught up in their 'psychological conditioniong', they find it difficult to comprehend so much information which totally rejects what they are used to reading and seeing in the commercial news daily. And they often use language which is difficult for the normal person to understand. Its complete intellectual materialism. These people may boast thorough university educations, but there's no way you can absorb all the information in 'ZI' and 'ZII' in one viewing. It requires multiple viewings, which are extermely rewarding.
Having studied film at university, I personally think Zeitgeist and Zeitgeist Addendum are more important than any other form of media ever produced. By that I mean any film or television show created. Peter Joseph is a Messiah of the 21st Century as he has clearly spent a lot of his own personal time to spread the real message of truth to the people. He doesn't do it for profit or reward, but simply to inform the people. Kudos
