Description
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

 We are all connected, we are one. December 1, 2008
I'd already seen "What the Bleep", but the second film took it another step. The assertion that down at the electron level it's nothing but possibility is amazing. Further that electrons can show up in multiple locations at the same time and have knowledge of its other location(s) tells me that we are all "entangled" whether we like it or not. So if I hit you I'm actually hitting me. For more, read about "Matrix Energitics" or "The Field."

WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW which promises to explain the mysteries of the universe instead gives us,for the most part, vague, pretentious statements that sound like something you would find inside a fortune cookie. Most of the "experts" don't seem to know much about science let alone quantum physics. In fact the person who seems the most knowledgeable in the movie we later learn is a chiropractor! He seems like a smart enough fellow but unfortunately hasn't put enough study in to the subject involved and many of his statements are never backed up. The movie features several poorly rendered CGI animated sequences which are shown way too many times. The producers know the subject is uninteresting to most people so they use crude humor in a lame attempt to get the viewer's attention (OK a couple of these scenes were sort of funny). The first portion of the movie contains the only useful, interesting information in the film as the second half deteriorates in to gibberish. Give this one a pass since the quirky title is the most interesting thing in the movie.

This movie is awesome. The expanded version is great. I really like Dr. Quantum's additional footage. Though the story is a bit silly, it is secondary to the documentary information. However, Marlee Matlin can make anything wonderful. I don't necessarily agree with every statement in this film, but what matters is it enabled my mind to expand and to start to explore new thoughts. The explanation of addiction is the best that I've ever seen or heard.

Great movie which intoduces Quantam Physics through a movie with a storyline. This particular DVD offers insights from all the originating
scientists and doctors. The movie offers a great alternate way to look and life and is backed bt the current scientific understanding Quantum Physics.

This is very interesting to see how the body functions and thinks. It is a DVD that needs to be watched more than once in order to comprehend it all. I'll be watching it again soon.
