It’s pretty rare that full-length movies get filmed here in Portland. When they do, we Portlanders usually go and check them out.
The most recent film made here is one called What the Bleep Do We Know. It was an interesting movie.
John is talking to Kyle about it now.
Dialog
1. Listen and Read - Listen to the audio and read the dialog at the same time.
2. Study - Read the dialog again to see how the vocab words are used.
John: Dude.
Kyle: Yeah.
John: Have you seen What the Bleep Do We Know?
Kyle: No, is that a TV show?
John: No, it’s a movie. You haven’t heard about it?
Kyle: Never. How long ago did that come out?
John: Maybe two years ago. But it was filmed here in Portland. It’s kinda like a documentary.
Kyle: Ok. Was it ever on the, uh, a major motion picture?
John: No. It was a lot smaller than that. But it’s really good. It’s all about quantum physics. Do you know anything about that?
Kyle: Not at all. It sounds really complicated.
John: Yeah. I was kinda freaked out, intimidated by it when I went in there. But it was actually pretty cool. It’s about how you can use your mind to change, uh, the physical attributes of objects.
Kyle: So, if I wanted I could make my car into an airplane?
John: In theory, they say that you should be able to, if you could use your mind correctly. But no one knows how to do that.
Kyle: I was gonna say. Because, although I have a driver’s license, I don’t have a pilot’s license yet.

Ok, I know what you’re thinking – a movie about quantum physics? How boring is that?
Actually, this movie was quite exciting! It wasn’t simply a documentary. There was a plot and the characters were pretty well-developed. Plus, there were great shots of Portland throughout the movie!
If you are interested in movies that are intellectually challenging, or if you just want to find out what Portland looks like, you should check out this movie!
