What the Bleep do we know?
This was a very interesting movie that i have thought about several times since I first saw it. The basic idea is that it is about quantum physics. It tries to show how they truly break all laws of the world, but at the same time govern everything we do. So if we base so much science of what happens with out knowing the under lying principles ... truly what do we know. It then goes on to discuss bigger and more important issues about life that can be thought of and related to quantum physics. It is half documentary, mostly involving interviews with prominent researchers. It is half fictional story about working through the struggles of life, and how your thoughts effect you. Overall I liked it, it needed some editing work, some parts get a bit repetitive. It had interesting points and a good story as well. Since so much of it is interviews that are almost lecture style thought, you can't go to this movie as you go to others. You can't expect to go and be entertained, you have to go and purposely be trying to learn something and to gain from the experience. You should think of it more like going to visit a very interesting guest lecturer. They will be interesting and have a lot to say, but some of it might be over your head, and some of it may not interest you.
If your not interested in science or questioning religion, I wouldn't both going to this film because you wont like it... But you might learn something... hehe

Dan - I know that you and books go together like Superman and kryptonite, but there's a book that is a lot of the same approach that this movie you're describing seems to be. It's called the Dancing Wu Li Masters, and it's pretty fun to read. I would actually not be surprised if that movie was based on it in some way.
Also - I don't know if that movie talked about all the laws that light breaks (particle/wave or closed box theory etc), but one of my past songs is all about those weird physics laws. Silver in Film lyrics can be found on my site.
