rdewald's Journal: Movie review: What the #$*! Do We Know? -- MUST SEE!!!

The phonetic (and URL-safe) pronounciation for this movie is "What the Bleep Do We Know?" The website is here.

It is about the relationship between the power of conscious intention, neuropeptides, quantum physics, and their inter-relation as an influence on the determination of the nature of everyone's individual personal reality (such as it is). If you liked The Elegant Universe, Brian Green's PBS series about String Theory, you'll like, no, love and propose marriage to, this movie.

Plus you get to see Marlee Matlin's ass, and a couple of hot, if brief, sex scenes. There's also a very engaging scene in which Marlee adorns her naked body with painted-on hearts, and there is a polish wedding scene that is just hilarious with neuropeptide avatars dancing to Robert Palmer's Addicted to Love. The Buddha is played by a pre-teen chubby black kid with a penchant for basketball.

This is Art. A new standard for film-making has been achieved, in my humble opinion.

Plus, and I mean this most sincerely, if you really pay attention, seeing this movie could forever change your life. I'm serious, log off the dot, get out, and see it tonight if you can.

I may see it daily for the rest of the week, at least until Silver City, John Sayles new movie about Colorado (will he do one for every state?), is released on Friday. WooHoo, after a dry movie summer as far as rdewald is concerned, the motherlode is comin' in.

OK

I'm not heading down to Atlanta to see it, but it's added to my Netflix queue & I'll see it as soon as they release it. :-)

....Bethanie....

[rdewald]

Yeah, I'm not sure even seeing this movie is worth a trip to Atlanta.... Let me know when you do see it, I am definitely going to add it to my DVD collection.

Yeah, but I'm all into hot deaf beyotches showing their asses. Hmm, think I might take a marble out of the jar.

Re:OK

[rdewald]

Just so you don't hate me later, it is Marlee's ass covered in black panties, and she is about 20 pounds heavier than I've seen her in previous roles, but I still think this is the best movie (of one type) I've ever seen. And Marlee is one hot cookie.

There is a scene where a model in a miniskirt is bending over getting something out of a fridge to make a point about sexual arousal. That is a VERY EFFECTIVE scene, so asses are shown.

Extract the marble, do yourself a favor.

Re:OK

[gmhowell]

I don't think either of us has much right to grouse about 20 lbs. here or there;)

Yup, she is way hot.

Re:OK

[rdewald]

Oh no, if anything it made her hotter to me because it increases my sense of her humanity (as if being deaf wasn't enough). I mean, I feel like I know her better now, even if that is just an illusion (and it most assuredly is), it is now a more powerful illusion.

Also, they used her less-than-perfect form to good effect in the emotional climax of the movie-within-the-movie. The more I think about this film the more brilliant I estimate it to be.

I concure

I saw this movie and it is great.

I thought about comparing it to My Dinner with Andre, or Mindwalk, but this seems to be more layman friendly.

A local talk radio host that I listened to a lot was really depressed after seeing The Passion. He identifies as a christian and found the movie to be very anti-christian and he felt like it severed his connection with God.

He saw this movie fairly soon afterwards and said that it restored his faith, even though the movie isn't really about religion. It gave him hop

"The science seemed to be put into layman's terms, but as far as I could tell was accurate. And when you are talking about quantum physics I'm not sure how much agreement exists in the scientific community."

Heh. Nothing is certain in quantum physics.

The science portrayed in the film is accurate. There are controversial questions that exist in quantum physics, but the movie steers way clear of them. Actually, that was my problem with the movie (if I can say I had one), i.e., some of the currently unans
