33 & Beyond: The Royal Art of Freemasonry

This isn't really a documentary revealing the history of freemasonry. It's a lot of interviews with freemasons, and it feels more like a promotional piece. It's overall pretty boring.

Lots of interviews with Masons of two varieties: older guys and younger wizard looking guys. From the interviews they come off as a separate religion based on hidden knowledge and ceremonies.

This is a 90 minute freemason propaganda and recruitment "documentary." It describes and explains freemasonry via interviews with freemasons. It comes off as a somewhat-informative advertisement for freemasonry, similar to what you might see produced for Transcendental Meditation or Scientology.

Yup, it's boring. But ask yourself why is that? The answer is that Freemasonry isn't for everyone, quite many people would find it boring. The film is a great lesson to that extent, so I grant it 10/10.

In general, I find rituals to be boring. Political, religious, you name it: I get bored by rituals. I could not watch 30-50 times how newbies execute the same rituals. Further, I never learned a poem by rote. So, I doubt that I could learn the ritual answers.

I do not see the Freemasonry as evil or as a cabal, but it is not for me.

Freemasons have a duty to study Freemasonry itself. This duty often gets neglected. Why? Because it's boring, I presume.

This is an advertisement for freemasonry, not a documentary. I would go elsewhere for objective information, but this has value if you wish to watch interviews by current practitioners.
