What the Bleep Do We Know!?
Excerpt from Film Review by Anna Darrah
“What The Bleep Do We Know?” tells us that life as we know it is really much more subjective than we generally think it is and asks the question, “who is responsible for my life being what it is today?” The answer, of course, is you. You are responsible for your life being what it is today because from a scientific standpoint (the mystics and scientists tell us), your life is purely what you perceive it to be. At this point, we are introduced to Marlee Matlin as Amanda, a bitter photographer who is so wrapped up in her past failures that she is practically blind to her present life. Until this day, when for some unknown reason, the Universe decides to show her in great detail exactly how reality works.
“What The Bleep Do We Know?” defies categorization as it actually blends three different types of filmmaking with at least as many genres. It is a documentary interviewing 14 of the most thought-provoking scientists, academics and mystics of our time. It is also a narrative feature-film starring Marlee Matlin, Elaine Hendrix and a host of other recognizable actors. It is an animated exploration of the science of our inner beings with giggling, evil, sexy, jiggling amoeba-like cells that, unbeknownst to us, run our lives. It’s a romantic comedy, a drama, and a scientific treatise.
