Our last in installment is "Collapse", an interesting little pre-apocalyptic documentary of an underdog by Chris Smith featuring almost exclusively the very convincing and charismatic Michael C. Ruppert. The director doesn't reveal as much as with "American Movie" and while it is possible to see it as a character study there aren't the touches of irony that give you a hint as to how your supposed to interpret the film. The general philosophy of Ruppert is that peak oil will cause a breakdown in the government's ability to enforce stability, the economy will collapse, and society will revert to pure Darwinism. He supports his theory with a well built and convincing (though faulted) logic peppered with an urgency that draws out all the incoherent fears and directs them with some considerable force.
