Collapse

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1503769/

To review an documentary is not an easy thing, predicting the future is even harder.
Michael Ruppert is an former L.A.P.D. officer, now he has since many years working as a freelance/independent writer/reporter.
he sits on a chair and more or less talks about the end of our civilazation...

Sounds scary?
Maby even does it sounds like a conspiracy theorist?
To quote Ruppert in the movie; " Sure I´ve been called a conspiracy theorist. But I don´t deal with conspiracy theoris, I deal with conspiracy facts."

The doomsday has nothing to do with 2012, the nibiru or anything close to that - google or do your own search on that, becouse I wont deal with that here.
According to Michael Ruppert the downfall of the civilised(?) world is an catastrophe waiting to happen, or even worse - it is allready happening.

As you can understand this is a documentary. And unlike for example Michael Moores documentarys (wich is a completely other topic wich I might go into someday), Chris Smiths Collapse is done without any humor or uplifting scenes. Atleast at first sight.
After being bombarded with a feeling that this is indeed the end of our way of life - the oil is slowly dissapearing, the echonomy is collapsing, the uprising of people (revolutions), war and other things that no one wants, Ruppert gives us some points that accordingly to him will save this planet and the human race.

There would in some way be a point in writing down right here; Quoting Ruppert that is - on how this planet can be saved. But, I really don´t see any point in that. It´s like if I would have lost faith in you all. It´s like if I would think "hey, they can´t think or act, let me do it for them." So in short terms - see the documentary for yourself - it´s only 82 minutes - and you self be the judge or jury (maby both?) on what you wanna believe or disbelieve. React, don´t react, think, or just run away from the problems. Maby Ruppert is right on one thing atleast - "If you´re in a camp and a bear attacks. You don´t have to be faster then the bear, you just have to be faster then the slowest camper."

One thing though that is completely true that Ruppert says, and no one can (well ofcourse you can) argue on this; oil will not last forever.

In some ways Collapse is in all its depressing nature an uplifting documentary.
Some might call it an paranoid mans vision.
Some might call it a true wake up call.
Myself I call it a horrormovie in dialog.

The reason why?
If we look at whole this thing that he is presenting, wich he has warned about for aproximently 20 years (according to his own words in the documentary) we should be scared. And is many things, only the future will tell.
