There is a great great "special interest" film you guys can go rent at block buster, its a documentary on our universe, the energies that surround us and the creations of the world. Throughout the movie they interview all kinds of world renowned scientists that have spent thier lives studying creationism and evolution and reletivity etc etc.

the movie is called "What the Bleep? Down the rabbit hole" also "What the Bleep do we know"

a great watch, it'll take you a couple of days on "Down the rabbit hole" cauz the movie is a whopping four discs, and doing it all in one sitting will met yer mind sending it into crazy never ending loop of ideas =P

anyways, check that out, its well worth the rental money.

Guess I'll provide a contrasting opinion. Smile

I sat through a market screening of "What the Bleep Do We Know" at the Berlin film festival, not knowing what I was going to see, other than it supposedly being about quantum mechanics.

It's one of 2 films (out of around 800) that I've given a 1/10 rating on the IMDb over the past ten or so years (the other being "Baltic Storm"). Even "Loose Change" got a 2, because while it's a dangerous piece of propaganda, it's still a well-executed study piece in how to misinform. Back to "What the Bleep"...

The film bored me to the brink of falling asleep; the production design and graphics were all over the place; Marlee Matlin delivered her most awful performance ever, but worst of all...

The content is complete and utter nonsense. It completely misinterprets quantum mechanics, and adds a plethora of pseudoscience, in order to justify what is really a new age religion (didn't know that last part when I walked in to see it).

Most of the scientists and experts interviewed during the course of the film have nothing to do with the field they're talking about (those who are actually scientists, that is). If they do, they generally lie in disagreement with the rest of the scientific community, while the film asserts that they're simply telling what every scientist knows.

The one person who doesn't fit in with this crowd, David Albert, was interviewed for four hours about the general ideas of quantum mechanics, then cut and pasted into the film to appear to agree with the rest of the silly bunch. After the premiere he went on record saying he was "outraged at the final result".

Anyway, it's nice that this film tells people to change their own life if they aren't happy with it. What's not nice is that it tells them to do it by "thinking positively", promising that they'll then be able to bend reality (a la Neo in the Matrix), literally walk on water etc. It even goes to great lengths showing them that this is scientifically proven to be possible, when it's clearly not. Yes, we all create our own reality, but not in the way this film wants its viewers to think.

Not to mention the fact that it's funded by - and based on the "teachings" of - a 35000 year old warrior from Atlantis (or thereabouts) who's now being channeled by a woman in the state of Washington... Laughing

Oh, and you can watch the whole film for free and make up your own mind:

But don't do it without reading at the very least the wikipedia article Razz
