Its a long movie, but well worth watching
- Thread starter Lestat
- Start date
About 8 min. in and the theme seems to be the corruptive nature of organized religions. I'm interested to see/hear where this goes.
Cool find, Lestat.

I liked this quote from the movie-
"Religion can never reform mankind because religion is slavery." - Robert G. Ingersoll
Last night I downloaded a classic game called Castlevania: Symphony of the Night to my PS3. In the beginning a descendant of the vampire-hunting Belmont clan confronts Dracula by saying "You steal men's souls and make them your slaves."
To which Dracula replies, "Perhaps the same could be said of all religions."
Surprising to hear something that controversial coming from an old school videogame, which also more or less happens to be true.
Throughout history Dracula is used as a fictional representation of all that is wrong and evil when in reality that mindset makes more sense.

I agree with KB. You'd have to think that these people in the video were paid off and the evidence was doctored to suit the movie's premises. And I can't believe I even thought of that being that it's so far fetched.
The attention to detail in this movie, combined with its logic make it pretty convincing.

Wow, wait til you get to the end.
i don't get into politics AT ALL. And the reason, which coincidentally is exactly what this movie is about and the topic of repeated arguements I have with people when they try to lambast me for not voting, is this: we (Americans) are so increasingly ignorant and void of all logical thought and critical insight that we simply turn on the television or pop open a newspaper and TRULY believe all that we see as factual. We have become such distracted (took that from the movie) and lazy sloths that we have actually convinced ourselves that we are intelligent and knowledgeable simply because
"someone told me so".

I'm 20 minutes in....
Take the anti-Nazi stuff out of this movie and it would've already been pulled from the internet, exposing the group primarily involved. The author hasn't quite figured it all out yet. Or simply, would rather not, for obvious reasons.
The blatant contradiction it makes about "the people behind the mainstream media not telling us what we're supposed to know." ....I suppose it could only naturally be...the Nazis?
