Description: Proving once and for all that life can be an amazing journey—and a real trip—this all-new Quantum Edition release of What The Bleep!? Down the Rabbit Hole utilizes cutting-edge DVD technology to create a unique version of the film with every viewing! The possibilities are endless...and so is the fun! Academy Award® winner Marlee Matlin is Amanda, a photographer suddenly transported into a metaphysical world of quantum mechanics, odd science and mind-bending phenomena. Guided by the world’s top physicists, engineers, biologists and mystics, she tumbles down the rabbit hole and gets a first-hand look at the fascinating links between science and spirituality in our everyday lives.Amazon.com: 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
Customer Reviews:
- What the bleep - down the rabbit hole: Overall I found the content of this dvd to be very interesting and thought provoking.
The main storyline following the lead girl and the changing of her attitudes toward herself and toward others was amusing and covered a lot of areas of insecurity or trust that I'm sure many could identify with.
Some of the speakers were quite credible and what they had to say was interesting. One speaker in particular was rather over the top and her approach came over to me somewhat like a pseudo science wannabe psychic.
I don't profess to be of any religion personally, but I was not overly impressed with the rather mocking stance toward the topic that was inserted in places. I would rather listen to carefully researched and well reasoned comments one way or the other on any topic.
Final conclusion - worth a watch. Take or leave bits according to taste. - New Age Nonsense Dressed Up as Quantum Theory: Don't let anyone fool you. This movie is NOT about Quantum Theory. It is a propaganda piece made by some New Age con-artist who claims to be "channeling" some long-dead ancient teacher named "Ramtha." If you are interested in legitimate science, I seriously doubt that this is something to which you will lend any credibility. Like most things that are total malarkey, it is dressed up in just enough real science to fool those who are not looking closely. There is nothing "hopeful" about material like this. If you want to learn about Quantum Theory, look for a book by an actual scientist.
- Uplifting: After reading The Secret I became more interested in the subject of manifesting what you want from life. I heard about this movie and the price was right. I really enjoyed it. Yes, it has a lot of rather complicated subject matter but it's presented so most can understand. What I came away with from this movie was mainly that loving and caring for yourself is the way to manifest happiness in your life. Let's face it - you think you're bad, you expect bad, you LOOK for bad and you find it. You learn to think you deserve the best and start expecting the best (not as easy as it sounds) then you will find it. I suspect the ratio of good to bad in my life is the same as it was but I recognize and celebrate the good more now. Maybe that is all it really is. It works for me.
- Random: I found this documentary very interesting, however, can someone explain to me the random sexist rant in the middle of the film, where they justified men cheating on thier wives as quantum physics? Did this belong in the film, honestly? It was very offensive, biased and ignored women's sexuality.
- Understanding: I thought the movie was just wonderful. It explained so much about why we are the way we are. It helped make sense of so many things in life. I am so grateful that this movie came into my life. This knowledge will help me to live a more "aware" life. I thought it was just wonderful.
