It occasionally comes up around here.
A little bit of research into many of the "facts" it portrays reveals its nothing but a work of fiction filmed to appear like a documentary.

all of my friends I have talked to that have seen this " movie " or
" documentary " ether say its real or its fake. I was just wondering what some other thoughts where on it. most of it does seem like a far reach.

Part 1 and 2 seem real, the 3rd part about banks take over and everything that is what seems far reached to me. But then I don't know almost anything about that age ecpt for " the dark age "

So you're telling me it's all "FICTION"?

"EVERYONE" needs to watch it. Even if you don't agree with the religion part, the next 2 parts should piss you the hell off. Decide for yourself after watching it. There's a ton of information that the government don't want you to know. Anyone who says it's "BS" is obviously a

[hr]
neo-con fan , working for the government, or just terribly brainwashed.

It's a great movie but i find that its overrated and people take the statements as truth without any further reading. I agree with the 9/11 part.

The issue is; If I know part of the movie is false, how can I believe any of it? You're basically saying ignore what you know is a lie and believe all the rest.

A lot of christian beliefs and holidays have basis in pagan religions. Some of them are talked about in this film. This isn't about denying the existence of god, but rather pointing out the fallacies of some religious ideas. Just because Christmas was a pagan holiday long before becoming the celebration of christs birth doesnt mean god doesn't exist, it just means we shouldn't take all religious beliefs literally and unquestionably. Its kinda like AD, which a surprising amount of people take for After Death, when it actually stands for Anno Domini, popular misconception is a dangerous tool.

Actually there are no Christian holidays with a basis of pagan religions. Some were placed on the same day of the calendar, but not based on pagan religions.
One of the movies great downfalls is its use of very outdated and incorrect references to pagan religions of the Roman era. The information given in the movie towards these in relation to Christianity are simply unfounded or outright false.
Now, having said that, how can you believe anything the movie says if you are aware of these inaccuracies?

So you think its just a coincidence that those holiday dates fall on the same days as pagan holidays? I can't really argue against it, but you can't prove that its a coincidence either. The more likely reason is that those holidays were already being celebrated and they were just converted to christian holidays. Given the coincidence itself and the roman penchant for taking on other religions as their own this seems like a very real possibility. Again though, its not a disproof of god or christianity, just the celebration dates are probably inaccurate even if the beliefs are true.
