anyone seen thsi movie, i saw it in the theaters, and just rented it to see it again, it is really in depth, what did everyone think about this movie, those who saw it, i would like to hear all your opinions on it.. hope to here from ya UM!!
LucidElement
for those who have watched this movie, what is your take on the world after you see it, and those around you? does the "Rabbit Hole" really exsist?

hhmmm...whenever I go to rent movies, that one always catches my attention. I usually blow it off but maybe I'll go and rent it today. If I do I'll get back to you. original.gif

That movie really opened me up to a lot of ideas that I had never heard before. It was worth every minute of time watching it! thumbsup.gif (here, I thought I was the only person in the world that had seen it tongue.gif )

oh hell no, i suggest everyone goes and rents it... its about everyday life.. i think anyone who watches it will enjoy it massivly!

Any movie that inspires the scientists who's opinions where quoted to come out and angrily remark that they were taken out of context and made to sound like they support concepts that they adamantly don't is a movie worthy of a raised eyebrow.

So what was the movie trying to say? I can't tell what the movie is about at all from the comments.

I saw the movie, loved it, and went on to the website. SCARY and DISGUSTING.
These guys are using quantum theory and the power of intention to sell their self-improvement(?) and sales courses. NO lie - go to the site yourself. And the first paragraph of the first 'free' article tells us that what is keeping us from wealth is 'wrong thinking.' And what is 'wrong thinking' according to them? Any altruistic, socialtistic, communistic, New Age, any religion that tells you to consider your fellow man as you would yourself.
These people have read way to much Ayn Rand. Stay away. Stay away.
What terrifies me is that people who have perhaps not been here as long as I have, or studied psychology, religion, quantum physics, literature, etc, may not see through them quite so fast (the movie is pretty good, if a bit obscure)and actually spend their dollars on these courses on how to become an insular, insensitive, uncaring, selfish materialistic beast. We have enough of those as it is.

Basically, the movie is trying to support mystical and meta-physical theories through selective quotation from experts in the field of quantum science. Since, by its very nature, the quantum world is similar in many respects to the meta-physical world, it sounds very convincing, however, where the scientists are speaking of clearly measurable particles and forces, their explanations are used to insinuate that they are referring to paranormal or supernatural ones.

It attempts to come off as an instructional video covering the basics of quantum physics, but it is nothing more than a blatant attempt to commandeer the work and credibility of well-known scientists to advance an agenda the scientists not only did not support, but actively rejected when they discovered how their work was presented.

This weekend I was told by someone who knows the people who made the movie that the website has nothing to do with the movie, except for the financial backing the film makers needed to get it out there. They(the makers of the movie) are not happy about it, but apparently they had to sell the rights to the name to get the backing. Made a deal with the devil that corrupted their message.
"Look what they've done to my song"

That knowledge made me feel better, less betrayed, because, in spite of all the valid critisisms that have been made, the movie is a pretty good key to open some new ways of thinking. Maybe move consensual reality onto a kinder path.

You know i haven't heard about any of this. Do you have and links that could show me that the scientists claimed their work grossly misquoted?
i need to re rent it to verify and then know what is there, but i have been told that the the full interviews and more information is on the other side of the disc.
i guess if you can watch the full interviews, then you can know if they were misquoted on the other side.
