The Conspiracy

source: The Conspiracy

Some analogies are so subtle you'll be unconscious before the hammer falls on your head. This is one such analogy. Here we see a 'mockumentary' masquerading as a documentary which is mistaken in many reviews as a satirical, tongue-in-cheek poke at the realm of the 'conspirotard' while giving the average movie goer a bit of fun. No. The average 'conspirotard' will recognize the truth within the film, not just in the subject matter which connects almost brazenly with the idea of the Illuminati but with characters such as Alex Jones who, while never mentioned in the credits, is without doubt the inspiration behind many of the film's most memorable scenes. The infiltration of 'The Hunt' is a parallel of Jones's infiltration of the Bohemian Club, with the same hidden camera footage feel and the same sense of dangerous insider revelations (the reality thankfully falling short of the gruesome fiction presented in the film). The following of the film-makers by a mysterious black pick up is another parallel from the life of Jones whose initial investigations of the Bilderberg Group saw his film crew followed in a virtually identical scene as they fled the hotel where the Group were meeting. As The Conspiracy suggests, there is a direct parallel to be drawn between the fine line of fiction and that of reality. Much of the footage is taken from speeches made by real politicians, even Presidents. Kennedy's poignant warning about secret societies and the globalist cabal whose influence is both insidious and merciless has never sounded so profound, particularly dubbed, as it is, over the footage of Kennedy's own assassination, even as he states categorically that "dissenters will be silenced." In the end this will reach a limited audience and half of that audience will mistake what they're seeing for a form of entertainment with no serious connotation. This is a sad fact of our time, and yet, there is a second quote from the movie that perhaps forgives the ignorant their pleasure. If a secret group are in fact running world affairs, then they have always done so. And they will always continue to do so. This is the harsh truth presented by The Conspiracy which conspiracy advocates will despise and those who think of conspiracy as nothing more than a buzz-phrase of the modern age will mistake for clever character motivation. But the truth is that the globalists are now firmly in charge and they are, as the film daringly portrays, utterly convinced of their strange religions. Thus I grant this film the full 10 out of 10. Partly because it presumes to go where no other film dares to tread, but also because the subtleties are so glaringly underwritten as to be exquisitely sublime. Whether you believe the world is in the grip of powers beyond reckoning or in peril of the insane preachings of conspiracy theorists, The Conspiracy offers something to entertain every level of tourist.

You think this movie actually tells you anything new about the conspiracies out there? Not AT ALL! This movie is more like a Blair Witch type fabrication of the truth, and lends itself more to the supernatural than to any fact based re-enacted story that it claims to be. We only get taken on a goose chase, and the plot and acting is so poor that in no time it became a predictable affair. I was hoping for something to be gleaned from this movie, but I think it must have been sponsored by the very group they are trying to uncover. It fails profoundly at enlighten us about what really goes on in these so called 'Secret Societies'; other than letting us know that it would be not a very good idea to delve deeper into these malevolent groups' goings on. If fear of these groups is what you want to learn than be my guest and watch this movie over and over...

Firstly let me reply to the reviewer who says "the start can be a little mundane". In my opinion the start and most of the film was not to bad. The worst part was the ending. It was so pathetic! I don't know how any director in his right mind would let one of the lead characters try and infiltrate an elitist organization of the worlds most influential and richest with what looked like a 5 o'clock shadow or a days growth!!!! That was just asking to stand out. Given that b4 the party he had a weeks beard but then shaved back to that???? I mean WTF??? Would you make a film about someone acting as a Motorcycle Club member walking into the clubhouse in an Armani suit and Italian loafers trying to act like a Biker? Then when he's inside he draws attention to himself as much as possible??? By the time I got to this part I wanted him dead....and everyone involved in the film....Stupid, Stupid, Stupid!!!!

Great idea, making a conspiracy film about film makers making a conspiracy film... BUT it just goes nowhere... like a shaggy dog story told by a reasonably good story teller conspiracy is let down by a plot that gets thinner and thinner until there is nothing left to bite into. Yes, it's a reasonably entertaining film, I have spent many worse 1hour 20 odd minutes in front of a TV screen my life but when the punchline to The Conspiracy comes you simply think "why?" This film could have been so much more - imagine the awesome film Seven ending on a weak note. I hope someone takes the idea, forms it into something solid and makes a worthwhile film.

I'm enraged. This film was listed as a documentary on Netflix, some documentary. Documentary filmmakers made this yet it has a director? Documentary filmmakers find themselves in situations where they would need a hidden camera yet clearly there was a camera crew in the crowd to film? The documentary filmmakers are trained actors who professionally act in TV roles they're barely credited for? I've already reached out to Netflix asking them to remove this from their Documentary section as it is as real as The Blair Witch and actually filmed in the same exact style. Don't waste your time having your intelligence insulted for this pseudo-doc piece of trash.

The Conspiracy A really interesting mockumentary dealing with conspiracy theories and secret societies. If your a fan on the conspiracy TV shows i.e Joe Rogan Questions Everything or Jesse Ventura 's Conspiracy Theory you will love it. With many movies using the found footage idea the market as been flooded they are cheap to make and some people think there real i.e Blair Witch but the filmmakers here use some nice little tricks. The movie starts off a little slow as they build it around nine eleven and introduce you the the secret society and the conspirator but it does kick into gear. It progresses very nicely by introducing people they interview who want to have anonymity which is a great ploy to keep the tension going for the rest of the movie. A very solid effort on an interesting topic. 7/10

This movie had no fan fare that I am aware of and I came upon it by chance. The documentary style the film is shot in and the storyline are all really interesting and quiet believable. The film starts out as interview piece with one person in particular who believes in conspiracy theories. One world Order and a group of high powered individuals controlling us is the theme and it is perfectly pitched for our times. The acting, particularly the person who plays Terrace at the beginning of the film is good, I feel I could have spent more time with Terrance, he is an engrossing character. The movie which goes from Documentary style to a Thriller with ease is a real surprise package, I really enjoyed the experience.

The Plot. A documentary about conspiracy theories takes a horrific turn after the filmmakers uncover an ancient and dangerous secret society. Another found footage-ish movie. For the life of me I do not understand the reasonably good reviews. This movie is atrocious. The acting is horrendous and the script is worse. The directing is amateurish. I was bored out of my mind.

'The Conspiracy' (2012) promised much and delivered disappointing results. Basically these two American guys begin a documentary about a local conspiracy theory nut and discover that he's not wrong about a very private club for world leaders which sets global policy. They attempt to infiltrate it and complications ensue. It started off well but ran aground about a third of the way in, whereupon the plot holes and predictability of the storyline became painful distractions. It was all far too easy for the guys to get inside the club and blindingly obvious what was going to happen. Ah well, things don't always do what they say on the tin. This 'shaggy dog story' was like one of those notoriously misleading 'serving suggestions' on a pack of risotto; you order what looks to be a banquet and you get served up a snack.
