hippie-98869 I recently viewed ETHOS and it just increased my lack of trust in big business and government practices.Not too long ago some friends and I were discussing many topics and politics came up. We were looking for a brief but accurate description of politics.We didn't find one.I went to sleep still thinking about this.I woke up three hours later with an acronym: Persons Of Low Integrity Talking In CircleSDoes this work?

targa9 After about 20 minutes of watching, I realize I've seen much of this stuff before. If you've seen "The Corporation" or "Zeitgeist" or other documentaries, then this film seems like a hodge-podge of them. I was disappointed and shut it off 60% through because I honestly thought I had seen it before. Then I come to IMDb and others are saying the same thing: it's an important, yet unoriginal and incomplete documentary. The part about the Federal Reserve and the central bank does enough to just pique your interest, but doesn't tell us who these guys are (Woody himself says "we don't know who these guys are" and we don't find out in the film, either). It just leaves us at the Great Depression, how the Warburgs, JPMorgan, Rothschilds, and Rockefellers had a hand in creating an international debt system. Yet there was no modern-day examples. I didn't get to the part where they talk about how we can change society, however, in a "simple yet effective way". I wonder what they proposed?

Film_o_philiac I watched this documentary believing that it would unfold some of the recent struggles that Democracy has stumbled on, on it's long rocky path. With the recent upsurges and cries for Democracy across Arabian and north African states, you would think that documentarians would be foaming at the mouth to cover the current shifting political movements.This documentary uncovers nothing really new and it doesn't challenge any political paradigms that haven't been challenged before. All this movie does is reboot past documentaries with a familiar face at the helm, in the guise of Woody.A lot of the stock in this film is taken directly from other documentaries, much like Zeitgeist, Endgame, Esoteric Agenda so on a so forth. Also, the makers have cleverly used the "Voice of God" effect, by having a Northern Irish voice-over, do most of the delivery.I am a big advocate for big event documentaries, which are spewing out of the internet, due to technological advances. However, what I don't like is imitation and reproduction. Half a million dollars that went into this film could easily prop my media company up for at least 10 years and produce some new arguments and conclusions for debate and for the new emergence of "media driven democracy". So my message to watchers would be to watch past documentaries and my message to the financiers would be to, "Get in touch!".

fistfootface First of all, I have been watching a few of these so called "conspiracy" documentaries recently and the little description piqued my interest.Once the film gets going, you will recognize interviews lifted from "The Corporation" as well as pieces of the "Zeitgeist" series and many other sources. These didn't present any new information or even try to offer a different opinion. The narration often switched from a pleasant accented voice, to Woody Harrelson standing in front of a set of looped T.V screens.???This film failed to present any new information and assumed the viewer was unaware of any information on the subjects discussed.I am eagerly waiting for the film that offers REAL solutions to these issues. We all know the problems we face as a society. When are we going to stop making documentaries about the corruption and finally take a stand against it? The hopeless nature of this film was very discouraging.
