The world NEEDS to see this...
argentinedave20 August 2013
When I discovered 'The Reality of Me' I was instantly fascinated by the depth and complexity of the presented information, and I became more and more enthralled as I watched each chapter. The most striking characteristic of this 14-hour documentary is not its length, but the way it makes the viewer reflect the topics discussed, it does not just throw ideas, concepts & wild theories at you, it simply shows you the world as it is, and most importantly explains WHY the world is the way it is.

TROM is about the environment, about how everything around you affects you, and primarily focuses on the monetary system, and the way in which your life, your ideas, values, emotions and relationships are affected by it.

For me, watching this documentary was a life-altering experience, I have not seen the world the same way since, and in a good way! It's made me meditate over the things that are important in life, why they are important, and even more it's made me want to grab people in the street and tell them 'you have to watch this!'

I don't know if it would work, but after watching TROM I've been invaded with the thought that if everyone watched and understood this documentary, most human problems would be solved...

The Best Documentary I've watched so far.
alanalexander9121 August 2013
Discusses about all the issues in the world today. People really need to watch this to get a better understanding about the world today especially topics such as religion and 'human nature'.

The only way to change the world is to educate people. And the first step towards change is Awareness.

" It's hard to be decent in a money world. We want to shut down all repetitious jobs, automate it, free people. That's the government of the future. No people, because people f***ed up every time they are in government. They all become corrupt, they get paid off, they go to war again, they have depressions. They never put an end to anything " ~ Jacque Fresco

Simply Amazing in a good way
danielalexander3338 April 2014
This documentary is amazing. Anybody that is interested in making the world a better place would really find the information contained in this rich documentary useful.

I highly recommend everybody to watch this. Simply amazing in a positive way. This has changed the way I see things and gives me hope for the human species. Only someone that isn't interested in the wealth of everybody on earth would discredit this wonderful documentary.

This documentary is more important than any movie or any book I have ever seen or read. Because it's about what is really relevant on this planet. It promotes life and not death. It promotes evolution and not extinction. It promotes truth and light to questions not beliefs and rules and laws. And it promotes you what any scientist would promote.. for you to question everything and not accept just anything so easily. It will define you as a person in different ways. At least it's what it did to me. It promotes peace. I simply loved it.

May change your life!!
joshaaronhensley26 April 2014
It was the best documentary that I've ever seen and I've seen over a 100 different documentary's. It talks about things that are relative to life, It's a little long but it's split into smaller videos and the information you get out of it is worth the time for sure. It talks about the Venus Project and a Resource Based Economy which if you haven't heard of it I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. When I go out and speak to people that are friendly enough I always let them know about this documentary and The Venus Project, because it's message means that much to me. It changed my life for the better and it may change yours. There's so much good thing's I could say about it, but the only way to really understand the message is to watch it yourself. :) Peace & Love

Perception changer .
uitenusaici27 April 2014
Upon discovering the documentary , i was amazingly surprised and in a continuous state of enjoyment because i found out others where thinking as i was . I use all the talks and examples from the documentary to show and exemplify to others that something is going on in the world , something good and something bad . Most of them have problems with having the time to see what the problem is and what the solutions are. It is helping me and others explain a lot . It has helped me with ordering my ideas and reordering others . I have friends that where shocked about what they did not know , and others shocked when they started verifying the information that the actual government withholds from the public . Thank you and i appreciate everything you are doing . Don't just keep it up , spread it around all of you .

this is a positive-constructive documentary which is meant to empower your thoughts or present new ideas that will have to be judged by your actual knowledge. <3

Watch this!
saso-luznar24 April 2014
This documentary deserves a much higher rating then this. It is a brilliant collection of lectures, talks and clips, with a very comprehensive menu and A LOT of great, scientific information.

It covers everything from creation of the universe, scientific method, environment and its role in shaping behavior, education, design, technology, energy and a lot of others. It even covers quite a few that are very much misinterpreted in the current culture of the developing world.

It is made by a volunteer, with extraordinary skill of presenting challenging topics!

Must see!

Worth Every Moment!
avejuice14 April 2014
A poignant documentary that delves into the dirty heart of our reality. Ever since seeing this film I recommend it frequently.

For many the length of the documentary WILL be a show-stopper. However, this is a huge misconception when confronted with this film. It doesn't take into account the frequent pausing required to reflect and digest the content. This is a story that asks for you to take time to weigh in on what is said. So it should be no surprise that you will likely see the entire film over the course of a few days.

Personally, I've watched the film in its entirety on a few occasions and haven't lamented it as a loss of time. With each viewing I get a more firm grasp on the world around me, using the tools I naturally have. This film has proved to be a good "self help" documentary for my intellectualism.

This documentary takes a multi-targeted approach to addressing the larger issues of today's society. Under this framework it picks apart not only the pertinent issues but how we, as humans, have created or exacerbated these issues. However, this film doesn't leave you guessing; at each bulleted point the film also provides solutions and strategies for framing the issues in their true context.

If you can listen to an idea, hold it in your mind, without feeling a need to decide one way or the other, this documentary will be worth your time!

Much better ways to spend your time
michaelclark88822 December 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Overrated much? This collection of various internet clips put together by a bunch of teenage boys in between World of Warcraft sessions is not going to help you understand how to "save the world". In the same way that buying a Guy Fawkes mask from Walmart is not going to bring you any sort of transcendental enlightenment. This is just not a movie worth watching. Watch the movie Baraka, a movie that appears to have been thoroughly plagiarized by this one, for a real thought-provoking experience. Also narrated by an incredibly annoying robot voice. What could inspire someone to give this a 10/10 review is beyond me. You would probably have to be involved in the Zeitgeist movement and be really enthusiastic about plugging your friend's movie.
