Lots of Time

A week or so ago, I was reading Karrie's blog and she posted (indirectly) about this movie called What the Bleep Do We Know? It sounded interesting so I immediately added and moved it up my Netflix queue. I just glanced at that Wikipedia entry before I got it and I'm glad I didn't read anythingm ore because it was nice to go into it without any expectations or judgements or skepticism. I suggest you do the same.

The film is a combination of interviews, fiction and animation. The filmmakers used a very interesting technique. You know in documentaries when they interview someone they show who they are and what they do etc? This film didn't do that and I spent the first part wondering why and wondering when they would (they did at the very end) but about halfway thru I forgot all about it and really started to listen to what these people were saying. I had to take what the interviewee said without the back up of credentials. I immediately connected with two or three of the interviewees and liked what they had to say. Was, in fact, drawn to two specific people and their message and thought, this film is about quantum mechanics and these people seem so enlightened and open.

The message of the film is about changing your perception, challenging reality and basically understanding that it's your choices that formulate your life but also restrict it in a way.

So finally, at the end of the film when they had the interviewees state their names, studies and occupations, I realized why the filmmakers chose to withhold this info. I know for sure that if I had known the credentials of a few of those experts I never would have connected with them (sad and weird). Watch it and you'll see.

In other news, Carlo didn't really work out. Apparently he broke up with me about 2 months ago but failed to actually articulate that information to me, even after when we were STILL spending time together. Yeah, so I don't ever really want to talk about him again. Thanks.
