I remember watching it as a teenager and I was blown away. I don't know if I'll get the same feeling if I watch it again as an adult though.

Ps: my first time on lemmy, good stuff on here folks.

Can someone link to context? I have no idea what op is talking about and I'm too busy to duck duck go it.

It was a college flavor of the month film that basically had 3 sections iirc. First was that Christianity is bullshit and how most religions have a bunch of common threads like the trinity, 3 day ressurection and how they lined up with astrology; Orion's belt and the winter equinox. Second was that the government are trying to collect intelligence on you, and how you will happily start tracking yourself soon and how they are training you to want that. This one is true about cell phones to some extent but was written in a time when the original RAZR fliphone was a technological marvel. And the third was pretty much bullshit iirc and op thinks it was that 9/11 was a false flag operation. But zeitgeist likely explained what they are and how they are effective. Widely available on the seas, and it was part of the social conversation. Which was in person Or rly smol txt limit

Ok thanks. That's interesting. This is the first I'm hearing of this.

Things like 9/11 was an inside job to justify the invasion of Iraq and that Bin Laden was a CIA agent. And many more theories that I can't remember. But anyway, here's a link: Wikipedia
