    I see what you did there, Mindwalk. You and your Charles Waterston and your classic Phillip Glass score and your that-guy-who-has-a-buzzed-haircut-and-constantly-strokes-his-well-trimmed-beard-and-whose-cynicism-makes-me-laugh guy.

    And I know you're fucking old now, but you shou...( read more)lda' kept the beard, Mr. Heard.

    This movie is soo cerebral that you really have to sit back and just watch and listen.

    And if you do that, truly do that, then you will learn a multitude of things about, as dlp1965 said, physics, poetry, relationships, science, art, and life.

    É um pouco apático mas tem muito conteúdo. Tem diversas discussões convergindo para o que é a vida e o que vale a pena fazer para melhora-la. Merece ser visto.

    This is an absolutely amazing movie, considering there isn't a single special effect. It's essentially 3 people walking around, talking about systems theory. It's a thought-provoking view of the world that will never let you look at "Picket Fences" without thinking there's more...( read more) to Sam Waterston.

    I was so glad to come across some positive comments on this show. In various other sites it gets a bad rap! It always amazes me when such intelligent people like scientist and philosophers dismiss something so adamantly. WHY WOULD YOU LIMIT YOURSELF THAT WAY? Why would you box in your thinking so much?
    Over the last 8 years or so, many of the ideas put forth by "Sonya" are being verified through the advancements of Quantum Physics .Whether we like it or not science is starting to find that there is a connection between religion and the touchable world. All things are connected. This movie can be a wake up call for people looking for alternate answers to what the world is about today.
