Thanks for the link! I love it.

The ASL is going well, but it really is hard. It's more than a language...it's a culture. That's the hardest thing...understanding that it isn't just about changing words into movements, it's about connecting everything to the person you are communicating with...past, present, and future.

Thanks again. I'm going to share this with my class.

HI BABY!! I'm in and out - I just don't have the time to watch videos like I used to. I hope you're all settled in at last, Mountain Girl!

Time Traveling SwampGirl. Cool!

Ahhh!! I was wondering why I missed it. Thanks, ender.

Dag, I completely agree. I love Marlee, but her role was so over the top that I couldn't enjoy her parts at all. I've been spoiled by Nova.

And yes...artists usually have an agenda. The meaning behind a work of art helps make the piece more interesting.

If anyone is in doubt, do the research and decide for yourself. Ender's link is very interesting...it has a lot of information about the filmmakers and the scientists. Thanks, luv!

But here's the thing, Shanness...she was only a part of the film. She didn't produce the film. I could not find any (credible) evidence that Ramtha funded this film. People talk about it in blogs and comments, but so far I cannot see where their source is. Look at who actually prodced the film.

Again, it seems like people have taken one portion of the film and blown it up to encompass the entire theme. Or they read what one person says about it and repeats it without checking. (Like a certain Presidential race.) There were some very correct facts on neurophysiology (a large portion of the film) but no one has taken issue with that.

Yes, this is skewed...but so is any Michael Moore film. Still, he makes his point. The skewed view could not take place if there was not a basis for it.

I'd be interested in your reaction to it. There is a definite lean into spirituality and New Age mumbo jumbo, but some of the more solid psychology bits are hard to argue with. However, I've been checking some of the speakers' bios and while a few are prominent Teachers and Scientists there are others who are one step beyond Quack.

It was like a New Age Nova show.

Ok...not that I mean to keep this discussion going, but I'm going to keep this discussion going.

I just watched the whole film and I was really surprised. I was mostly surprised by the fact that this clip is not in the movie at all. Where did it come from?

My next shock was that all of the reviews I read about this film while waiting for it to...erm...get here were grossly incorrect. Quantum Physics is a portion of this film, but it is only given as a basis for the theme. This film was merely melding Philosophy, Psychology and Science. Most of the things I saw in the film were not new to me (synapses in the brain, chemical production through thought process, questioning who is The Watcher...) but I liked the way the film makers were able to bring them all together. It was very interesting albeit a little over-emotive.

I am just gob smacked at the fact that people have written articles on this film and have cited grossly incorrect moments from the film. That tells me that they are either really stupid or didn't watch the film. If they didn't watch the film then they are just spouting what they have heard someone else say. The beautiful irony is that this kind of behavior is EXACTLY what the film makers are talking about.

This wasn't a film about Quantum Physics. This wasn't a film about Neurophysiology. This wasn't a film about Existentialism. All of these things are in the film, but it is about something else.

It is about Reality.

Keep learning. It's the only way to fly.

hee hee...thanks. I just watched it.

I did some looking around about this movie, and it seems there are two camps...one side feels that it is a mind-blowing film while others feel it is propoganda for the filmmaker's New Age sect. This controversy only makes me want to see it more.

I'm still...*ahem*...trying to...*cough*..."find" it.

Oh! But I did find Nova's "The Elegant Universe" on their web site...you can watch the entire program. If you haven't, you should. It's one of the best Nova shows I've ever seen.

Oh my god...I must watch this movie. Quantum physics is so fascinating, but this bit blew me away! Creepy and inspiring. Gave me chills. (I love Gomez...hee hee hee)

However, I have to wonder what they used to observe. Perhaps that device interfered with the wave pattern...static build-up or electricity or something. They'll find out soon enough, though.

Oh...love your avatar, ender.
