DVD Reviews of What the Bleep Do We Know!?
DVD Review: nothing surprising
Summary: 2 Stars
After reading other reviews, I decided to get this one for an entertaining and enlightening evening. I am always curious about how life came to be and what purpose a human life is supposed to be in this world. An interesting point made in the movie is that we are here to create (not be created). However, I wasn't impressed with any other discussions even though there are a lot of positive thinking that encourages self-esteems and confidence etc, because I have heard all these angles of thoughts about life a few decades ago. The quantum physics part was over-played and over-used to show how choices would affect your life's path. Note "Quantum" theories are not for big "things" like humans. The discussions about psychology and emotion are also just common senses. DVD Review: The right title for this film...
Summary: 1 Stars
Because no one in it seems to know bleep!
A horrible waste of time that will have you saying, "there's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back".
Ramtha is particularily disgusting. Maybe she can't see how dumb and ugly she is. Maybe someone should tell her so she can see it. Maybe a Peruvian that's never seen a ship could tell her! Of course, at first they would just think she was a beached whale already too far gone to save, because they'd never seen anyone so dead looking. You could make a film about this scenario and it would be infinitely more interesting than WTBDWK.
At least "The Secret" (which is barely better) can pass for pop metaphysics. This is so bad it doesn't even qualify for as a gift for your worst enemy. Er, on second thought...
DVD Review: This is a parody, right?
Summary: 5 Stars
I learned nothing from this. Same old stuff. Thoughts I've thought all on my own. Except the dumb ones, like I'm 90% water. Right, and I only use 3% of my brain. And a duck's quack doesn't echo.
A bunch of old folk factoids strung together and put into the mouths of dressed up homeless people sitting in the library (yes...the books behind the man all had library stickers on their spines--they went to the library so they could use books for the backdrop--CLASSIC!).
DVD Review: Fascinatinating
Summary: 4 Stars
Great idea, but just a little over long and the science starts to get fuzzy in the second half.DVD Review: An Absolute Must See!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was unaware as to the extent that this movie has been in the popular media in the recent years since it came out in 2004. I stumbled upon it while looking for videos about quantum physics on YouTube after one of my college professors got me into this stuff. My initial impression was sheer fascination. I have been getting into a lot of this New Age self help stuff over the past few years and, as well, I'm very well read in the areas of personal communications, psychology, and spirituality. I'm all about broadening my awareness of my reality and the world around me. I think that knowledge is the ultimate key to everything in life. This is quite possibly the most encompassing piece of education you can get in under two hours. The amount of enlightenment crammed into this presentation is incredible. I would recommend this to anyone of any age as an absolute must see.
Now for the other part of my review. As I said, I was unaware that so many people have been exposed to this film because only one person that I know has heard of it. I didn't read any of the reviews until just now as I am writing this. Apparently, there are many people who are trying to discredit the validity of this film due to many factors including a lack of "real scientists" and relevant contributers, the oversimplification and misinterpretation of the science regarding sub-atomic particles, a misinterpretation of the philosophical meaning of quantum science, and the inclusion of J.K. Knight, otherwise known to her so-called "followers" as 'Rithma,' a mysticis who claims that she channels her being from a 35,000 year old Atlantian warrior.
In my opinion, only the truth matters. The subject matter covered in this presentation may have been oversimplified but the ordinary person does not have the time to study this kind of science in any detail because we all have are own individual fields of study that occupy the majority of our lives. To give this movie one star and to criticize its intention and cast it aside as just another cultish New Age pop-psychology film is incredibly unfair not just to the people who helped make the film possible but to anyone considering watching it. I sincerely hope that anyone who has read any of the bad reviews will still give this movie a chance. I do, however, appreciate the skeptics who have attempted to tare this movie this apart. Because, in the end, everything must be questioned.
Description of What the Bleep Do We Know!?
WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW?! is a new type of film. It is part documentary, part story, and part elaborate and inspiring visual effects and animations. The protagonist, Amanda, played by Marlee Matlin, finds herself in a fantastic Alice in Wonderland experience when her daily, uninspired life literally begins to unravel, revealing the uncertain world of the quantum field hidden behind what we consider to be our normal, waking reality. She is literally plunged into a swirl of chaotic occurrences, while the characters she encounters on this odyssey reveal the deeper, hidden knowledge she doesn?t even realize she has asked for. Like every hero, Amanda is thrown into crisis, questioning the fundamental premises of her life ? that the reality she has believed in about how men are, how relationships with others should be, and how her emotions are affecting her work isn?t reality at all!The unlikeliest cult hit of 2004 was What the (Bleep) Do We Know?, a lecture on mysticism and science mixed into a sort-of narrative. Marlee Matlin stars in the dramatic thread, about a sourpuss photographer who begins to question her perceptions. Interviews with quantum physics experts and New Age authors are cut into this story, offering a vaguely convincing (and certainly mind-provoking) theory about... well, actually, it sounds a lot like the Power of Positive Thinking, when you get down to it. Talking heads (not identified until film's end) include JZ Knight, who appears in the movie channeling Ramtha, the ancient sage she claims communicates through her (other speakers are also associated with Knight's organization). What she says actually makes pretty good common sense--Ramtha's wiggier notions are not included--and would be easy to accept were it not being credited to a 35,000-year-old mystic from Atlantis. --Robert Horton
