Synopsis: What the BLEEP!? Down the Rabbit Hole marks a tremendous cinematic evolution of the original international hit What the BLEEP Do We Know!? It includes important new scientific findings that highlight the very real and deepening link between quantum mechanics, neurobiology, human consciousness and day-to-day reality.
What the BLEEP!? Down the Rabbit Hole is streamlined, jet-fueled and packed with a satisfying payload of new information including: one hour and 45 minutes of new interviews, interviews with two new scientists, Dean Radin, Ph.D. and Dr. Masaru Emoto, interviews with author Lynne McTaggart, never-before-seen footage, three new animation sequences and even a new beginning.
The original storyline, which follows protagonist Amanda, (played by Academy AwardŽ winning actress, Marlee Matlin) as she sinks into a morass of depression and confusion about life, men, and her work as a professional photographer, flows between the lengthened and extremely meaty interviews. Sixteen of the world's top physicists, engineers, physicians, biologists, researchers, journalists and mystics talk in depth about consciousness, psi research, physics, biology, emotion and addictions. Unlike the first movie where the balance of interview and storyline was fairly even, in What the BLEEP!? Down the Rabbit Hole there is never a doubt as to which is the main course. And the movie is the better for it.
Yes, we still follow Amanda in her fantastic Alice in Wonderland-like experiences as her uninspired daily life begins to unravel, revealing the uncertain world of quantum mechanics hidden beneath her normal, waking reality. But now her life serves more as a human relations touch-stone to the increasingly mystical and mystifying science being revealed. The scientists are the stars of this movie, and there's no forgetting it. But they, too, are human. Never does the movie elevate them and their information as above ordinary human understanding. Indeed, the movie's power and magic lies in the fact that it really makes us understand how human beings are connected to each other - to the whole universe - and how we all affect reality.
Quirky animation highlights much of the film, introducing highly complex scientific concepts in a simple, understandable way. Done with humor, precision, and irreverence, these scenes are only part of what makes this film unique in the history of cinema, and another true box-office winner. Source: IDP Films
