Collapse

A guy sits in a chair, chain smoking cigarettes and talking. There’s a bit of archival footage and some animated sequences to illustrate what he’s saying, but it’s basically a movie of a guy sitting in a chair, talking. So what makes it one of the most compelling movies you will ever see? It’s what the guy, Michael Ruppert, is talking about: The end of the world as we know it. This is no raving lunatic that you can simply dismiss as mad. What Ruppert talks about, and the compelling way he talks about it, has the ring of truth in every sentence, whether he’s talking about the war for oil in Iraq or the government cover-up of the economic collapse. And when you think he’s gone over-the-top, all you have to do is take a breath and really think about what he said. You’ll know he’s not crazy.
