It's obvious the majority of movie-goers will attend "Troy" during it's opening weekend, but those who enjoy intellectual stretching might want to see "What the #$*! Do We Know?"

Ultimately, it's a movie that doesn't promise anything other than a jaunt around a philosophical track.

Some viewers might want to run briskly with the questions and the ideas the movie poses about life and our purpose here. Others may barely be able to keep pace with the concepts.

The movie is a combination of dramatic pieces, animation and authorities on everything from quantum physics to mystic experiences. Marlee Matlin ("Children of a Lesser God") plays Amanda, a photographer, whose life we see in bits.

She's contemplative, depressed, rational and wild.

Matlin, as most people know, is a hearing impaired actress and for this reason the audience looks at her more than we hear her speak. I don't know, however, how appealing she is to watch in this much detail.

Her purpose is to dramatize the dilemmas and emotions we all experience.

The film also shows us, with animated examples and scientific experts, the way our bodies respond to things like love, self-doubt, excitement and restlessness.

It's important to know how our body reacts so we know how to control our emotions, our response to our environment.

The film challenges us to train ourselves to control our thoughts, which ultimately changes our perception of reality.

The idea of reality is also knocked back and forth.

"Bleep" has been held over for 11 weeks at the Bagdad Theater in Portland and listed in the top 40 selling films of all times at the Grand Cinema in Tacoma, Wash.
