What the Bleep Do We Know, a movie review

What the Bleep Do We Know. 2004

It’s difficult to consider movies with a Law of Attraction theme without thinking of a few films that have become classics in the field of manifestation.  ”What the Bleep Do We Know” is one of those films that comes to mind.  If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it.  And, be prepared to want to watch this movie more than once.

Technically, it is a documentary, but the story flows between a fictional character, a photographer played by Marlee Matlin, and varied interviews with noted experts in the field of quantum physics and the Law of Attraction.  

Matlin’s character, fresh out of a failed relationship. feels lost and confused.  She travels through her day and meets a few new characters.  One poignant moment happens early in the movie, when she meets a kid on the basketball court who teaches her a few things about quantum physics.  Her self-induced fog begins to lift as she opens her eyes to a new way of looking at the world around her.  There are some great scenes with her alter-ego roommate played by Elaine Hendrix, who pushes Matlin’s character to the limit with her fresh and innocent view of the world.  My personal favorite is the wedding sequence, which vividly illustrates the concept of being addicted to emotions.  If you haven’t seen “What the Bleep Do We Know” yet, treat yourself to this unconventional and thought provoking film.

Last Holiday, a movie review

Last Holiday, 2006

I was a bit under the weather and took some time to enjoy one of my favorite movie genres, comedy.  I’ve always thought that Queen Latifah is a great actress in her roles.  There is a genuineness to her comedic talents that comes through in the parts she plays.  So, I thought I would enjoy the movie.  I did, and to my surprise, not only did I think it was a great and fun movie, I discovered it had an element of the Law of Attraction.

In one of the early scenes, Queen Latifah’s character, a department store clerk named Georgia Byrd opens her “book of possibilities”.  It’s a place she keeps her secret dreams for her future.  It’s hard to imagine how her hesitant and dreary life will lead to those dreams coming true.  Yet, somehow, you know that there’s a lot more to her than just a secret crush on a grill salesman and her love of cooking.

Given just weeks to live, she releases herself from fear and inhibition and takes off on a dream trip to Europe.  The trip is straight from her book of possibilities.  Once she arrives at The Hotel Pupp, she becomes the mystery woman in the middle of some hilarious antics with a chef, Congressman, a Senator, a retail magnate, and his mistress.  All the while, leading herself closer to turning her book of possibilities into a book of realities.  

Georgia’s book and the way she begins to turn her dreams into reality will strike a chord with even a casual observer of the Law of Attraction.  Last Holiday is a fun uplifting movie on many levels.  

As I discover other movies with elements of the Law of Attraction, I’ll review them here.
