What the Bleep Do We Know!?

"What the Bleep Do We Know!?" is a 2004 American pseudo-scientific film that explores a spiritual connection between quantum physics and consciousness, a concept known as quantum mysticism. The film follows the fictional story of a photographer named Amanda, played by Marlee Matlin, who encounters emotional and existential challenges. Through documentary-style interviews and computer-animated graphics, the film suggests that individual and group consciousness can influence the material world.

Conceived and funded by William Arntz, who co-directed with Betsy Chasse and Mark Vicente, the film was produced on a moderate budget and initially promoted through viral marketing. It premiered in art-house theaters in the western United States, winning several independent film awards before being distributed by a major company and grossing over $10 million.

The film presents various ideas, including the notion that the universe is constructed from thoughts rather than matter, and that beliefs shape one's reality. It features interviews with professional scientists in fields like physics, chemistry, and biology, although it has been criticized for misrepresenting science and containing pseudoscience. The narrative and documentary segments of the film emphasize the theme that "we create our own reality."
