What The Bleep Do We Know?  Buy at AllPosters.com Why is this page "What The Bleep Do We Know" created? Please allow me to share a little about my journey of personal growth ... Due to work requirement and an insatiable quest for career skills improvement, self-improvement has been my favorite subject for many years in my adult life. Over the years, probably as a matter of natural growth progression, self-improvement at the level of work-skill improvement no longer satisfies my need for greater self-growth. Unknowingly (may be guided by the divine wisdom), I started getting a different kind of books in my hands - books that spur self-growth at a different level -awareness, consciousness, and spirit. It has been a blissful experience since. While I can’t really remember when I started indulging and embracing readings in consciousness, spirituality and metaphysical, one thing I am certain is the refreshing transformation that I experienced after moving from self-improvement to the realm of spiritual awareness. It was like moving from a little stream into the wilderness of Deep Ocean. The extent of paradigm shift immediately expanded my outlook of life a thousand folds. "What The Bleep Do We Know?" I’ve heard about the movie "What The Bleep Do We Know" for a while, but only get to watch it recently in Google Video.
After watching the movie, the most prominent thought that come to my mind is: More people should watch this mind-transforming movie! And, therefore, this page is created. This sharing and enhancing of humanity consciousness is made even easier now, given that anyone can watch the movie for free at Google Video. 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 Do We Know" did get entered in five smaller festivals, and won in every one. This, along with the grass roots, word-of-mouth campaign, kept the film in theaters for weeks and months on end. After five months of surprising box office numbers, the film attracted the attention of Samuel Goldwyn Films, and the producers entered into a distribution deal. The word-of-mouth buzz continued and the film showed real staying power (it played in one theater in Phoenix for more than 40 consecutive weeks). Following its theatrical run, FOX picked up the DVD rights and released the movie in March 15, 2005. The DVD immediately shot to the top of Amazon’s best selling list, and was named Amazon’s #1 DVD surprise of the year. To date it has sold over a million copies. International distribution soon followed. Currently the film is now theatrically distributed in over 35 countries worldwide. A host of further developments followed. A series of conferences was held featuring the speakers from the film, along with other notable leaders in the consciousness arena. BLEEP study groups spontaneously arose around the country, then the world, with people who did not want to let the ideas put forth in the film die, and who wanted to investigate and discuss them with like minded explorers. Bleep Study Groups continue to be formed around the world. Two books followed, a soundtrack CD and finally the ultimate What the BLEEP DVD – Down the Rabbit Hole, with two extended versions of the film, along with hours of additional interviews. Called by the media "the little film that could," and "the critic proof movie," "What the BLEEP Do We Know!" is considered the first break-out film in the genre of Spiritual Cinema, and continues to find a new audience to this day. Over almost two hours, the movie took us through a myriad of scientific illustrations and evidences, peppered with interesting story and masterful cinematic effect, and deliver to the viewers a compelling message: The Joy of Life Is
