Um þessa kvikmynd

InterReflections explores deep social issues. In three timelines our main story takes us into the future when ecological crisis and inequality has destabilized society. John Taylor, a defected government intelligence agent turned revolutionary leader, is captured by his former colleague and nemesis, Simon Devoe. Simon leads a government spy agency, encouraging John to join him to avoid punishment. Simon humors John as they debate ideas about humanity, seeing no possibility of John's escape. But John has a secret. Our second timeline follows a woman in modern day, experiencing life as a horror show, reflecting issues such as racism and environmental destruction. Fired from her job, she sets about finding another. Her journey transforms her. Timeline three takes place 100 years forward as four academics of this future talk about the way things used to be in the early 21st century. They speak of "The Great Transition", a dramatic global revolution that changed everything for the better.

Einkunnir og umsagnir

Absolutely amazing! It tells the story how we actually came out of this mess and evolved into a system that actually cares and works by respecting the Earth and basic needs. Its a journey where we eventually fully exploit the potential of science and technology. Although this movie is very unique, and in many ways ahead of its time, some cut-away scenes are a bit long with loud and chaotic images, sounds and music. But just sit back, take your time to watch it. Keep an eye out on all the details. Nothing in this movie is a mistake, every scene has a message. I personally think this movie should've been a series of 4 episodes, the movie is too long to watch in one go. And if you do, the attention span of the average person might hit a point where the information isn't processed anymore. In case you want to watch this information in a different format, I suggest you checkout "Zeitgeist: Moving Forward". It's from the same creator as this movie and is free to watch on YouTube.

This movie is both dystopic and utopistic and it does a great job telling the story of our sick economic system, mixing a documentary-style with sci-fi. It's long and very verbose, so watch it if your not tired: it'll be worth it.

The change the human species needs. If you feel something is wrong in your life but can't quite put your finger on it, perhaps the issue is one you were not aware of.
