 Some reviewers miss the point... April 16, 2008
6 out of 9 found this review helpful
A very important point here is that this is an amateur film created by someone with passion and a videocam. To expect professional quality on such a budget is, well...pretty unrealistic. It is silly to take this as a personal affront. Too bad that some people who might normally be open to the central message miss the big picture. The big picture is what we need to focus on now. There seems to be a universal need to kill the messenger. I don't think this is helpful. Why help others divide us further?
If I had made such a movie with what resources this couple had available to them I'd be pretty darn proud. The thoughtful reviews here give the tone of what it's about. Throw your expectations out the window and see what IS THERE. You either get it or you don't. I get it, and want more like this...
Leonardo DiCapprio created a movie with a much bigger budget called "The 11th Hour" and it didn't do well. Why? Who knows...probably apathy, that's the "devil's" best friend. Let's support the message wherever we can. THAT"S THE MESSAGE! Celebrate Pangea Day May 10,wherever you are. Tune in and pass the inspiration :)

Being a healer and a spiritual advisor for the past 6 years, I have to suggest getting this DVD for your collection. I've read some of the negative reviews and decided to see for myself about this. I'm not sure what the other people that reviewed this had expected to see, but there are some very prominent spiritual people (leaders) in this giving their opinion on the subject of "oneness". What I think some of these reviewers do not understand is that to actually get an audience with some of these individuals and to have these questions answered is not an easy task, However the makers of this movie did a great job in doing just that. For anyone on a spiritual journey, this is a nice uplifting collection of interviews to help ponder what life means to you. This movie should be considered in the same respect as "The Secret" and "What the Bleep?".
 Worthy Effort. Poor Result. December 22, 2007

Havin read all the reviews for this movie, I decided to take a chance. I'm very sorry that I purchased this movie. The interviews are interesting, and Robert Thurmann is wonderful, as usaul, as is Thomas Keating. However, the quality of this movie is terrible. I understand that the filmmakers are amatures, but that said, maybe they should leave filmmaking to the professionals. I would much rather watch "What the Bleep" or "Peaceful Warrior." Some people will support this movie because they believe in it's message, as do I. However, it's hard to enjoy the spirituality in this film when the quality is so poor. Also, the idea of being "one" is suddenly dropped in at the end of the film, as if the "filmmakers" realized that they had no story.
 3 Stars for the thought that counts September 13, 2007

This movie is far from perfect. As one reviewer stated, there were many interviews with great personalities, but not much of this is shared with us in the film. However, it is a fascinating portrait of humankind, and I did enjoy the artistic aspects very much.
The "thought that counts" is that the creators have the intention to help us humans join together in saving the world and saving ourselves. There is a personal touch to this movie that makes it somehow more down-to-earth than more commercial and polished films like The Secret and What the Bleep. The creators of the film really create a sense that humankind is one big family, and we're all "in this together", with all of our quirks and imperfections. We need to learn how to live in harmony, and some people who see this film actually get this core message, and we need this message now more than ever before in human history. As the woman says in the extras, we humans are incredibly beautiful. Let us express that now. We NEED TO express that now.
ONE shines with the enery of REAL people August 20, 2007
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
ONE is just another movie. Yet it tells the story of REAL people; that makes all the difference.
ONE: The Movie shares an energizing story about a family who decides to follow a nudge from within and ask the big questions of life about peace and war, life and death, the meaning of it all. However, the filmmakers and audience discover that it is not about finding the answers, but meeting the people who believe in them. ONE: The Movie is about relationships.
Some reviews I've read have dwelled upon feelings that interviews of individual spiritual leaders were "truncated," and disconnected. But complete interviews of individuals' perspectives is not the point. ONE is not about any one person, but about the community of many who speak with voices and similarity and difference.
ONE: The Movie challenges us to live our lives truly, to love fully. Watch ONE with a friend or family member. Feel the power of living and loving from your core.
