The Movie "Collapse" is a Must See
After watching Chris Smith’s latest documentary, Collapse, there is no going back: once seen its nearly impossible to forget.
Despite its focus on the now commonplace concerns for modern society’s unsustainable growth, the film ignites the imagination in a way so few talking head documentaries ever achieve. At its core is Michael C Ruppert, CIA whistleblower and activist reporter, who, like a modern day Morpheus, pulls back the veil of reality to show in a stark light the underpinning make-believe that sustains our hope in a sustainable status quo. According to him, any perception of stability at present exists solely because those in power see no political advantage to alert the public of how dire the situation has become. Not even Obama can get you out of this one, he warns; this collapse runs deep and is inevitable, and it is happening right now. The effect is assaultive, in rapid-fire succession Ruppert unloads his thesis on the audience who are left to recoil as the gravity of the situation deepens. Lacking any familiarity with the issues of ‘peak oil’ prior to seeing this film, my alarm watching the movie was at an optimal high.
I cannot wait to see this movie! At some level I realize that this Morpheous of a sort may have news that I do not want to hear - I also know that I must hear it. Conspiracy theories can be quite ridiculous but I have zero doubt that the American government would mislead the public to meet the satisfaction of big industry that pulls the strings.
