O Segredo do Zohar

Feeling helpless to do anything about it as the world seems to spiral out of control seems a common state these days. This film talks beautifully about how together, we the people of the world, can shift the global environment to one of altruism and cooperation rather than greed and dog-eat-dog. The Zohar Secret provides the method for changing ourselves and our relationships with each other rather than trying to force others to change. And it's all an inside job.

I agree with another reviewer that this film was not what I expected. It's not some esoteric, intellectual treatise, but an emotionally moving guidebook, so to speak, for how each of us finds and executes our part in the healing of our world. It gives me hope that humanity itself, all of us together, has the power to re-stabilize the balance on our planet.

I don't usually take the time to write reviews, but I felt that after watching this film (twice in a row) I had to share my thoughts with the expectant viewer.

In any narrative, the protagonist typically plays the part of some subset of our own qualities - we associate ourselves with the hero, or the damsel, or the outsider - but in this film, the director has decanted the most basic human quality - the desire to live happily - and infused the lead role with its bare essence.

If the viewer is able to overcome their own ego and see themselves for who they are, this film imparts the unnerving sensation that you are witnessing yourself on the screen, unable to choose differently even in the face of overwhelming truth. The lead role is me, and it's you.

The key to seeing the depth of this film is in looking past the allegory to see the forest for the trees - resisting focus on the mission at hand to see the profound meaning in the choices and the surrounding force steering forward.

Outstanding and thoughtful work.

I watched the movie without knowing anything about Zohar. It is an interesting subject in history. Yes, the movie is a little bit long but from beginning to end it keeps intriguing sense. If you are interested in reencarnation, rebirth, such subjects, you will get satisfaction from the movie.

A thought-provoking, emotionally-packed and dynamic film that is guaranteed to keep you at the edge of your seat and left questioning the meaning of your life long after it ends. Max has been dealt the burden of carrying a manuscript that holds the power to change the entire course of human history- a burden he never asked for, nor truly understands. As he incarnates from person to person, era to era, an ever-persistent "self" of his continually haunts him, urging and manipulating him towards the pursuit of the inescapable purpose that He and the whole of humanity are bound to. The dichotomy between Max's interest to enjoy a pleasant, normal life, and the ever-increasing pressures that historical events/conditions and his other "Self" administer to him set the grounds for a movie experience that transcends the boundaries of an impersonal narrative and instead seeps into the conscious realm of our present-day reality, personal life, and deepest emotional questions.

This is definitely not a 8 stars movie. I wouldn't give it more than 4 stars. The rest of reviews here looks written by the same person. It's obviously a scam like all the 10 stars votes to get a better score. So I'm going to write a real review.

The story is full of all these pseudo-religious esoteric bullshit. You can see how the budget was low since they never show cities, villages or anything like that. The action it's always on interiors, caves, ruins, and old abandon buildings. The story is repetitive and unnecessary long. Since the very beginning you can imagine how is going to be the whole movie so you are just waiting and waiting until the end. And then at the end, more of this consciousness awakening bullshit. Don't waste your time.

This is the review that I would like to see here before I saw this movie.
