It is one of the best movies shown in our English class. It is about the uncertain world of the quantum field hidden behind what we consider to be our normal, waking reality.
Originally released in February 2004 in one theater in Yelm, Washington, What the BLEEP Do We Know!? went on to become the fifth highest grossing documentary in the United States, with ticket sales of $12 Million.
Shunned by all movie distributors, the producers set about distributing and marketing the movie themselves in a “proof of concept” strategy to show theater owners there was indeed a market for spiritually oriented films that catered to audiences’ intelligence, not their lowest common denominator.
Although rejected by every major film festival (Sundance, Berlin, Toronto, Cannes, etc...), What the BLEEP did get entered in five smaller festivals, and won in every one.
Here is one of my favorite quotes in the movie.
To know that we know what we know, and to know that we do not know what we do not know, that is true knowledge.- Copernicus
