Zentaur S (spoilers) . . . . . Our truth is whatever we and others acknowledge it to be. Kumare was very inspiring to me. he tapped into or at least researched a lot of valid things. at least as far as the movie went nobody asks him for any proof and a lot of people seem to get lasting valuable transformation My takeaway also was that he needed the path he took to feel safe embodying, in his words, his ideal self The fact that 10 out of 14 people stayed is huge and feels pretty aligned. The only outright lie he told was one that I feel isn't extremely consequential which was the place of his birth I'm very curious if he went to back to that way of living after the documentary Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/24 Full Review Audience Member Probably the best doc ever made Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/18 Full Review Audience Member at times I thought this might be a fake documentary because it gets borderline ridiculous. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member (Spoiler warning: watch the movie first) Many of the critics either didn't watch the whole movie or were so personally offended by what it demonstrates that they can't be objective. Nobody seems to challenge that this was a great documentary - informative, engaging, and new. The only reason they have left to hate it is to say it was unethical to make it to begin with. To that, I ask whether they finished the movie or not? In the last scene, virtually all of the movie's "victims" were delighted by the big reveal that he was a fake all along. Many of them already seemed to know that and they just didn't care. Which shouldn't be a surprise, since he told them he was a fake throughout it, too. Absolutely the best parts though are when he's meeting with other cult gurus and exposing their nonsense to what they assume is a safe audience who will believe anything. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member In Kumare, Vikram Gandhi wants to show the absurdities of Gurus and seeks to illustrate his point by becoming one himself. He goes all the way. The film is clever and sarcastic as hell. Its a filmed experiment with "truth" and "faith" showing the powers of manipulation - Guruism is absurd, Vikram Gandhi get discipels by inventing absurd rituals and bogus "spritual" ideology. Relgious people will probably dislike this film. The basic idea is simple and a little scarry. I recommend it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member The Spiritual Illusion From Within Is Really A Fascinating Journey To Behold.. I Do Feel For The Participants In This Experiment, But It Is A Real Eye-Opener On How The Belief System Of A Person Can Be Melded & Swayed Any Which Way...Unless You Have A Core Self-Belief That Initially Questions What Is Being Told To You. The Harsh Moral I Would Say Here Is Taking Things Purely On Face Value Alone Will Always Leave You Open To Difficulty Later On. Thinking For Yourself Is A Good Thing.
