O Efeito Mandela

I grew up reading the Bernstein Bears and remember the books very clearly. Way later as an adult I was talking to someone about the books and they said the Berenstain Bears, which spawned an argument about what their name actually was. Come to find out there are a bunch more examples of this effect.

The movie does a great job in presenting several of the Mandela Effect issues and their basis in real science. Quantum physics, the multiverse theory (the real one not that Marvel crap), the holographic universe, all these point to much bigger things than we can currently understand.

I get why people can't connect to this movie, they can't wrap their head around the idea that what they consider reality may not actually be. That leads into meaning of life questions, concepts of God, and all sorts of existential reality crises. The average person can't handle that, so they freak out and refuse to think about it. Those of us who do question reality find the subjects very stimulating.

I think they did a good job wrapping up the movie. There were really only a couple plausible options for an ending and they choose the happy version. I can dig it.

Stumbled on to this last night and was very pleasantly surprised. It's one of those indy SciFi flicks that delivers ideas that leave you thinking long after you've forgotten the B-grade acting and production. (Movies like Listening, Coherence and the fantastic Primer come to mind.) If you are a science (especially if you like quantum physics) or movie nerd that likes a good think, I highly recommend it.

For those rating this so low, I assume they either don't understand indie films or REALLY don't understand Sci-Fi. If you're over indulged in Hollywood lighting, settings, and effects, indie films take some getting used to. If you're not used to them, watch a few lower budget Sci-Fi films and you'll see why this one is rating very well with fans of those.

Let the story take you, the imagery is low budget, the story isn't. It's supposed to make you THINK and have fun with 'what ifs' There are several cool films about these concepts, most well known, is the Matrix, of course, but this concept has been around for many decades and many prominent scientists have discussed it in extremely interesting ways. What if?

Take the ride folks, it's fun. Science + Fiction is really, really fun.

As a fan of conspiracies for entertainment purposes I was really happy to find this film. The acting was pretty good and the plot too, but I still felt something was lacking from the film. Might be more enjoyable for those who already know about this particular conspiracy, rather than for those who have never heard of it.

More people need to understand what indie cinema really is. Low budget build on concept and execution. For an 80 min independent film this is top notch production. The notion itself is enough to generate interest. And personally the ending is satisfying.
