This movie is a beautiful take on spirituality from a scientific perspective. Though admittedly a bit new-agey at times, the pointsit makes about the nature of existence are nothing short of mind-blowing. - Freestate , posted 07/11/05 |

"What the #$*! Do We Know?" is a new kind of spiritual film, which fuses a documentary montage style with the unfolding of a dramatic story and amazing animation. BLEEP takes the viewer on a thrilling tour of the boundaries of what we know, while introducing us to some of the newest concepts in the field of consciousness. Is it possible that words and ideas can change the very quality of physical matter? Do we really have an infinite range of choices available to us at any given moment? Is it possible that there are things right in front of us that are invisible to us until other people start to see them? BLEEP raises these questions and many more, and provides scintillating answers that raise even more intriguing questions. Indeed, the best way for us to learn what is really going on is to ask better questions... and watching "What the #$*! Do We Know?" is one of the best ways to start asking better questions. "What the #$*! Do We Know?" tells the story of Amanda, played by Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin, who feels like her whole world as she knew it is coming undone, to be replaced by something strange, unknown, and new. Amanda's attitudes and assumptions expand dramatically through extraordinary dreams and remarkable encounters in waking life. Interwoven in the story of Amanda's awakening to fuller realization are documentary clips with fourteen mystics and scientists. These interviews provide a delightful counterpoint to what is happening to Amanda as she considers how she is more in charge of her life and better connected to everyone and everything else than she previously would have believed. When Amanda is given a photographic assignment that requires her to face painful memories from her past, she discovers new ways to view her experiences and a bigger sense of herself that allows her to gain strength, courage and inspiration at a time when she might otherwise have felt sad, small, and defeated. Amanda brings us on our own journey of self-discovery, as we wonder how we might reframe painful memories into life stories that reflect our more heroic, loving nature. "What the #$*! Do We Know?" brings about positive life changes for viewers, because it presents a framework for how to reclaim mental, physical and spiritual health even in the most difficult times. "What the #$*! Do We Know?" is the perfect film for everyone who has an open mind and would like to ask more interesting questions... in order to discover more interesting answers. - Cynthia , posted 06/07/05 |

I have to agree with Derek on this one. I had read decent reviews about it on Netflix so I rented it. What a mistake. This movie has no redeeming qualities. - Victor , posted 07/13/04 |

I feel compelled to share w/ people my thoughts on movies that I could barely make it through. This was definately one of them. I couldn't believe this was the director's follow up to Swingers.(a good movie, 3 stars) The acting in GO, however, was terrible. The "rave" scenes were an innacuate representation of the true scene. Then, at the end, almost seeming to sense its own plot's complete absurdity, it throws us a sloppy surprise as if to say, "you weren't taking this seriously were you? ...Good! Cause neither were we!" I failed to see the point of the entire film. I felt as if my time had been wasted. If you'd like to see a marginally better film in this category, I'd hesitate to recommend, "groove". Not much better, (2 stars) but at least it'll get this film out of your head. Unfortunately, no good film has been made to date w/ its story line taking place in or around this culture of people. - grasshopper , posted 07/09/04 |
