Assignment 1: Review on the documentary “The Secret: The Law of Attraction”

“You attract what you think about whether you want it or not”

The movie “The Secret” has been based on the corresponded book written by Rhonda Byrne and produced by Prime Time Productions later on in the year 2006. It can be acknowledged as a self-help documentary that features interviews of professionals and authors in fields of quantum physics, coaching, theology, philosophy, finance, feng shui and medicine speaking about their experiences supporting the main theme of the movie: The Law of Attraction.

As described in the film, the unawareness of this “law” can lead to, for us, unpredictable circumstances, the way the knowledge of this “law” has supported and led successful and pleased people on their ways to great achievements they have mastered. According to the movie, the most powerful tool we own are our thoughts. Nevertheless, it is up to us how we decide to use them. The positive thoughts as well as the negative ones are to be heard by the Universe and therefore may lead to pleasurable or less satisfying results. This “law” of attracting the happenings in our lives has been assigned as the determination of our desires and comes in line with the opinions of the scientists mentioned above.

Critically seen, the fundamental idea of the movie does not appear innovative, but accompanied by the great production, including the opinions of intellectual and famous individuals and referring to the quotes of the greatest leaders of our era, it is not only an efficient use of time but also a great movie to see. It was a motivating experience that contributed to my comprehension and was delightful to watch!

Here you can find the 3 fundamental motivating beliefs mentioned in the movie:

“Know what you want and ask the universe for it.”
“Feel and behave as if the object of your desire is on its way.”
“Be open to receiving it.”

Public review: “The Secret is reportedly being discussed in "e-mails, in chat rooms, around office cubicles, [and] on blind dates". It is recognized as having a broad and varied impact on culture and is likened to a "Hollywood phenomenon". — New York Post
