Movie Reviews of The Secret (Extended Edition)
Movie Review: Snake oil
Summary: 1 Stars
I was shocked at the amount of positive reviews... This movie and all its "laws" come straight out of the snake oil salesman book.
They create laws (the "law" of attraction) that is no more law than the "law of my carpet cleaner" and then use pieces of common knowledge, and quotes from famous people to give their "laws" credibility. The funny thing is - those same people they are quoting would never agree with the shallow and twisted meaning the producers are attributing to them.
Yes, there are some positive things (mostly things you already know) but that is part of the snake oil salesman strategy. They use common, positive knowledge, to get people to start nodding their heads, and when the watcher (or reader) goes on, lots of plain lies start getting thrown in there - in a very deceptive manner and sandwiched between real common knowledge.
Stay away.
Movie Review: So what else is new?
Summary: 2 Stars
The title is a marketing ploy.
Simply wishing and performing
a thought-circus, will not get
what you "deserve".
There is some truth to good/bad
thoughts, and their circuitousness;
but without benefit to your fellow
man, your comfort levels are going
nowhere.
Movie Review: Interesting and helpful but not new
Summary: 3 Stars
While this information wasn't especially new, it was a great reminder. I run decluttering and time management workshops for a living for Inspired Honey(inspiredhoney.com) and so I like to have a break once in a while give my mind a tune-up (like my car). While this information is certainly not new. See the book You Can Heal Your Life written decades before or What the Bleep Do We Know or even lots of ideas from Proverbs in The Bible), it is still interesting information. If it gets people analysing their thoughts more and being more in control of their choices - I'm all for it!
Movie Review: Storytelling...
Summary: 3 Stars
Every decade needs updates on personal development advice-this movie is a contemporarily looking tale of how to feel better in a world of depression and poverty.
I will not watch it second time.
Movie Review: Inspiring!
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this to be inspiring and motivating. There should be more videos of this sought out there. Go from the video to the book,Living The Secret Everyday: My Secret Workbookand you will continue your journey by learning how to transform your life with exercises to show you how.
