Simply A Masterpiece

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I guess it depends how much you like to be confronted to new possibilities.There's a war between science and religion, and this movie tells them that they are both wrong, and right, and bring them together... so yeah it's mind blowing.I never could understand quantum physics because I'd have too much to learn before it, but they made it extremely easy to understand... and it was mind blowing.I am not one of those people who rely on ads to tell them the "truth", who they are and what they want... I'm a free thinker and the weirder the better, but this movie made so much sense with my own experiences.I almost died and no I didn't see a light or Santa on a cloud...I simply asked myself "what does it looks like after death"... but then my inner voice told me that it's not the right question... so I took some time to think, and since I was letting go of life itself slowly, my mind was particularly open... so I asked: "What does the existence looks like, outside of matter and outside of time?" And then I saw... endless possibilities spreading like the branches of a tree into the future, endless possibilities to reach the same present, like roots... then an endless forest for all living creatures on the planet... that were, are, and will be... My mind opened from a dot in a line... to everything.At another moment,I came to the realization that all sentient being are people. There's no difference between us and animals, even insects. We all make choices and learn, feel, live. (and this really offended me in the movie, to say that animals can't choose because of their frontal lobe, that's just ego. But they did try so hard to open their mind that they have respectable views anyway.) But every single cells in your body can feel, send messages, have different needs, different functions... so from this view... it means that every cells of your body is a different person.And it is true.You are actually the sum of a community of beings, working together. You are all those people who have been, are, and will be. (Every 7 years your whole body is renewed into completely new cells) Just like society.We think we're separate, as a cell feel differently and look separated under a microscope... but when you stand further enough, with a wide enough view and open mind... you see the whole... as one.So just like your brain is made of a network of neurones... that were, are and will be... your whole brain is like one neurone in the whole creation... and the cumulation of thoughts, that influences the world, is what we call god. Deeper than your conscious mind... your sub-sub conscious... is the universe's self awareness... the mind and will of god...Your own thoughts affects your body, and the sums of the thoughts of the collective affects the world... the actions of one might seem to have little impact, but the actions of many in the same direction can change the whole planet (maybe that's why people at the head of companies deny the very existence of global warming... but we did that by burning dinosaur farts in our cars and others, too much too long) And thoughts... have divine powers as well, with an effect less easy to see than moving objects, but intent can still move you and the world itself.I came up with that on my own... it amazed me to see scientists state the same theories with scientific experiments to back them up... and so much more that amazed me... by actually explaining what I noticed but couldn't explain.I do feel like my brain isn't set in the present but can see the past, present and futures as well... They said that your thoughts can change the past... and then I thought that I should use that to help my past self! And I actually did... all those countless times that my inner voiced warned me of danger, the horrors that happened after not ignoring it... and blessing that saved my very life when I did...Because when I was dying... after I opened my mind and saw how immense and magnificent existence is, I saw that I wasn't ready to take it all in, I wanted to stay a little dot on a line a little more...So then I asked myself what I could do to live... and my body simply told me to take care of my needs.I'm still here. Enjoying great movies. Thank you, myself, and all the people who open their mind... to endless possibilities.I discovered this movie from the Dr Emoto's work on the mind's energy effect on water crystals... I believed in chi, but being able to freeze water to observe the effect is amazing... If hateful thoughts make crystals look so damaged compared to the artistic magnificence of love and gratitude... imagine what it does to you and the people around you, knowing that we're 90% water... You can deny it and refuse to believe it all you want.But you'll still feel and live it. Everyday.Enjoy!

WOW! In reading the comments here, I am shocked by how many people missed the point. The movie is designed to make people think. Quite frankly, you don't make people think by telling them that what they are currently thinking is perfect. You have to challenge their view. They make it clear at the beginning of the film that they are presenting debatable theories and opinions. One of the big ideas of the film is that our past experiences shape how we interpret the information that we bring in. The biggest irony is that, so many people who are clearly accustomed to thinking "inside the box" have sought to find ways to disregard every idea of a film that is designed to encourage people to think for themselves.

Having no prior knowledge about the "what the bleep" series, I picked up this film with the following two assumptions:1) It is an in-depth exposition of quantum mechanic principles and how it relates to everyday life.2) It is *not* an attempt of some obscure occult movement trying to link the "spiritual" and the "physical" worlds.The first 30 minutes or so was a barrage of ideas that may or may not have to do with quantum physics or to each other. Then it got a little more weird ... when they talked about how meditation could influence electronics and crystal growth, and how basketballs can be at one place and everywhere (may work as an example, but not in reality). I started skipping sections after sitting for about an hour. When I heard something about some Atlantic warrior God ... okay, that's too much ... I wonder if the meditation is doing something to my DVD player.I really wonder how they get a line-up of all these doctors and professors. (Okay, one was a priest-turned-physicist, and a couple of them got their degrees at on-line universities). I can only imagine that, the physicists and doctors, at least those who were reputable, were somewhat deceived when they signed in for the interviews.In the end, I felt cheated, to see that, this is nothing more than a propaganda for some new-age occult religious movement, based totally on misrepresented scientific principles. I wish they were a little more up front about their film, or at least put a disclaimer on it, to let the viewers be aware its purpose.In my opinion, the whole film was meant to confuse the viewer with sound bites from all the interviews, while a "message" slowly builds up with the Amanda plot line. The leaders of the cult probably assume that they fan easily manipulate the viewers' intelligence the way they do to their own followers. Sorry, I am not a physicist, but I know enough to say that it is all rubbish.Out of ignorance, incomplete understanding, many of these so-called philosophers and religious practitioners claim that Einstein's theory of general relativity and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle are the missing links between the scientific and spiritual world. To quote the words of Prof. Dick Feynman, "as always ... when philosophical ideas associated with sciences are dragged into another field, they are usually completely distorted." Indeed, this film distorts what is quantum physics and the filmmakers feel no qualms about it.

This movie is a blend of new age thinking and what we know about quantum physics. This is basically an expanded version of the previous "What the Bleep?" movie but it provides a lot more depth.The most compelling aspect of this movie is not the specific examples they use, but the overall message that we create our own reality, we shape our own reality and we change reality.This movie uses both sound and questionable science to convey it's message. It is up to the user to come to their own conclusion about the implications.This movie is worthwhile for the simple fact it makes you think. It could be classified as it's own genre in that it blends the format of documentary and drama yet it is not a true example of either. You would not watch this for the drama, and the science is based on theory and speculation more so than hard fact.The added portions in this 2006 release make it better than the original. The editing is not as smooth, but the extra information allows you walk around with more things to ponder afterward.
