What the Bleep Do We Know
"What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?" has been such a successful low-budget half-fiction/half-documentary movie that it becomes quite a controversy in coffee-shops, discussion groups, etc. I heard the DVD release has been quite a success too. In a recent Buddhism retreat by Sabchu Rinpoche, we had a quite some discussion about it. I think the movie is quite inspiring but the producers have been accused of putting materials out of context. Wikipeida has an article about it. I am not especially comfortable with the story of native Indians inability to see the Spanish ship when Columbus arrived to the Caribbean Sea. In the movie, Dr. Candace Pert is saying that ".... That's why I believe the Indian Ship story...". I think there must be a series of elaboration before she said this. Unfortunately, the producers edited out too much materials. The movie editors let Dr. David Alert, one of the scientists, complains and his annoyance can be seen in here.
