Has anyone seen the film: What the bleep do we know?

I haven't seen it yet but I would like to but I would also like to hear what others thought of it first.

Here is a bit about it:

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!



As Amanda learns to relax into the experience, she conquers her fears, gains wisdom, and wins the keys to the great secrets of the ages, all in the most entertaining way. She is then no longer the victim of circumstances, but she is on the way to being the creative force in her life. Her life will never be the same.



The fourteen top scientists and mystics interviewed in documentary style serve as a modern day Greek Chorus. In an artful filmic dance, their ideas are woven together as a tapestry of truth. The thoughts and words of one member of the chorus blend into those of the next, adding further emphasis to the film’s underlying concept of the interconnectedness of all things.

The chorus members act as hosts who live outside of the story, and from this Olympian view, comment on the actions of the characters below. They are also there to introduce the Great Questions framed by both science and religion, which divides the film into a series of acts. Through the course of the film, the distinction between science and religion becomes increasingly blurred, since we realize that, in essence, both science and religion describe the same phenomena.

The film employs animation to realize the radical knowledge that modern science has unearthed in recent years. Powerful cinematic sequences explore the inner-workings of the human brain. Quirky animation introduces us to the smallest form of consciousness in the body – the cell. Dazzling visuals reinforce the film’s message in an exciting, powerful way. Done with humor, precision, and irreverence, these scenes are only part of what makes this film unique in the history of cinema, and a true box-office winner.

My dad was just telling me about this film, rainbow. He saw it and totally loved it. I had never heard of it but it sounds intriguing. Soon as I can find it, I'll be renting.

Saw the movie.

While watching it I grasped what was going on, but now -- I'm not sure what I know from it.

It was an interesting new concept for presenting facts. I liked the topic because it brings science and religion together.

It helped me understand why our priest reads quantum theory for fun......

Would I see it again? I'd have to in order to talk about it.

Since you have an interest in it, I believe you should pursue it.

babyrider, please let me know what you think of it once you find it. I haven't had any luck finding it either. I saw it once for sale and I should have gotten it then instead of waiting, now I can't seem to find anyone who carries it!

Sojourner, I'm reading a book called "the biology of belief" by bruce lipton and its all about quantum physics and though the scientific jargin can be a wee bit much to follow some of the time the information on unleashing the power of consciousness and how it all relates to our cells and our energy is very interesting!

Thanks for the info on the book. I'll put in on my ever-growing new list of books to read and let you know what I think when I've read it.

I just noticed today at the bookstore that some type of follow up book was written to go with the movie "What the bleep?" but I just read a bit of the back and didn't pick it up. I'm sure we'd have to see the movie first!
