Movie made with certain purpose
2 November 2005
I found a lot of critics in IMDb audience for this movie. Some of them claimed that they know quantum physics and neurobiology. They also said that the movie is inaccurate. But I really feel sorry for them. They missed the point (not only in this movie) but also in their subjects they study. They lament that this movie is not teaching an accurate quantum physics. To tell you the fact, I am glad that they are not teaching it. But the scientists make sure that they share their philosophy to the general audience. Some of the scientists are so noble, it is really inspiring. I am a graduate student too. I decided that I will be one of those scientists (like Jhon Haglien or Fred Alen Wolf). In fact Jhon Haglien is the co-author of super string theory which is revolutionizing the modern physics. If such a man turns so humble and he calls all the scientists to unite together for the sake of humanity, then I would say he got the point. That is the right understanding of science - The commonsense at its best. He proved the world - scientifically- that meditation can bring down 25% crime rate in the Washington DC area. The purpose of science is to bring wisdom. Same with neurobiology. Stuart Hameroff M.D devoted his whole life in understanding consciousness. William Tiller, one of the great mind - is so humble and simple to engage in noble pursuit of understanding consciousness for the rest of his life. The other huge criticism is about Ramtha and his(her) school of enlightenment. If those directors got some enlightenment from her, they I don't see a great problem in interviewing her. I think she is far more better than interviewing any politician. The directors made sure that this movie is not preacher and it clearly concluded their version of enlightenment. But certainly they as well as we (audiance) know that enlightenment is far more deeper and spiritual than it can be said. I felt that this movie can be trimmed a lot. The last set of sequence was dragging as by that time - the "Point" was already made making that part slightly tiring. The polish party was funny and again could have been sacrificed. If the directors decide to make one more movie like this (I really encourage them to change the trend of movie making - *NEW AGE STYLE*, I am sure they will learn by their past mistakes. For religious critics: Having some acquaintance with Christian philosophy, I don't see any clash between the thoughts of Christ and this move. If any then possibly we both need to check the book (keeping our ego aside). Please support this movie by making your friends to see
