The Underground

A sad story of a delusional man. I am a structural engineer and a geologist and a self taught metallurgist. Right. A green beret died while rescuing me after I was opened up like a fish by the alien death ray. Right. Let's see the fish guts scar. You don't even know the name of the green beret who died for you? What a total load of ignorant bs. Ridiculous .

I have seen most of Schneider's lectures from 1995 and this documentary provides a good overview of the available information about him and his life without going to deep into the lectures itself.

It does so fairly objectively in my opinion.

Bear in mind, that Schneider's lectures were explosive in its content; the documentary does not add any subjectives elements.

It is not the documentary saying these crazy ideas, it was Phil who brought to light these unworldly activities.

It's nice work this movie! Ignore other comments who have not watched Phil's lectures. Should you watch his lectures, watch the earliest lectures first where his recollection and mind was most clear.

I wish all this was true. It would be amazing. But after a few minutes of listening to Phil it is apparent that he's paranoid and delusional. Everything is anecdotal. No evidence. He claims to have been shot, been sliced open by an alien laser weapon, had a green beret rescue him but also die simultaneously... each claim on its own is interesting but when you add it all up he seems completely detached from reality. I felt bad for him after this and angry at people that have taken advantage of him for their profit and entertainment.

You don't have to be a psychiatrist (or self taught metallurgist) to see serious mental illness on display here. Unfortunately the documentarians (or satirists? I'm not sure if they are well-meaning or making fun of the poor guy) go to great lengths to dive deeply into the madness without questioning it too much. Also rating it based on really shoddy production values.

This guys has already been exposed as a mentally unstable person. He provided no evidence what so ever, never provided any locations exactly where he was working, in fact there was no evidence at all. Everything he said you can tell his is not well educated, his eyes are shifting all the time, he cant look anyone in the eyes and even his friends said he was mentally ill. Why are they doing movies about him?
