“What the Bleep do We Know” and “The Secret”

Have you seen these two movies? And have you watched them one after the other? That was how I saw both of them for the first time, starting quite late in the evening (around 9.30pm at a friend’s house).

Frankly, it was a bit too much to see them like that, especially when I was already tired at the end of the week. What’s more, we viewed “What the Bleep” first of all, so, after we had had a break and some more to eat and drink, “The Secret” was nearly a midnight screening.

Perhaps inevitably, I found that they two movies tended to blur in my mind, and the next day I was unsure as to which ‘teacher’ was in each film.

What I did remember was that the Bleep film had some animated sequences which, to me, detracted from the message they were trying to put across. Maybe they felt they needed something to lighten up the quantum physics.

However, I also recall that it dealt mainly with emotional and other non-material aspects of life, particularly in the personal struggles of the main character, the photographer.

In contrast, The Secret appeared very materialistic, nearly all of its examples being around the manifestation of objects of desire, such as new bicycles, jewelry, large houses etc. I know I’m not the only one to have been a bit uncomfortable with this, but I understand that there is a sequel in the works, so perhaps that will deal more with the intangible, but arguably more important, aspects of life.

I’d be interested in your thoughts on either or both of these films – please leave a comment below.

Until next time, stay well
