I admittedly only skimmed your article, since I'm a bit pressed for time, but it seemed like a good, balanced take on it, though I had a bit of trouble distinguishing between when you were referring to the film and when you were stating your own ideas. But that could be due to the skimming, in which case, my bad.
I just wanted to check out what other people are saying about this, since I just saw it myself over the holidays and wrote a bit of a rant about it on my own blog today.
The ideas put forth in the film seem pretty elementary at this point, for those of us already aware of and working with that and related concepts. But it was very very incomplete. The idea that there's a "The" Secret, capitalized, is flawed to begin with, but the movie was also way too superficial in its coverage of even that one idea. I was disappointed, to say the least.
But I better not start going off on the subject again. I promised myself I was just going to get it off my chest then get into a more positive focus.
In the movie's favor... it's a start. It's breaking some ground in terms of mainstream productions of this nature. It's a decent introduction, as long as people see it as such and don't take it for the whole picture. It can be good to keep things simple at first anyway. If people can get past the 'infomercialness' of the film enough to take it seriously in the first place, it could be the thing to at least point them in a better direction.
By the way, I just joined this forum and this is my first post, so hello to everyone.
