In 2006, a documentary by an American director was released. Drew Heriot "The Secret", which immediately became the subject of widespread discussion among the audience and caused an ambiguous assessment. The plot of the film tells about the law of mental attraction and describes a simple mechanism for achieving the desired goal. “By following these rules, you can get anything you want — well-being, freedom, love, health,” the filmmakers say. We will get to know the opinions of the audience about the film and find out if this is actually the case.
Viewers reviews about the film "The Secret"
It is worth noting that the prevailing number of positive opinions about the film, that is, the majority of viewers praised the film The Secret.
- The idea of the film is interesting and instructive.
« 
I was a person with negative thinking until I watched the movie “The Secret”. My usual behavior was bad thoughts about others, resentment, accusations, ill will. But after I watched the movie, I suddenly discovered that the mechanisms described there work. I thought about it and understood my mistakes.
The "secret" charges with positive emotions needed by all people. This is especially important during the period of fatigue and spirit, when unresolved issues have accumulated in work, relationships, and health. Watch this movie and maybe you too will start to look at life and the people around you in a new way. ”

- There is something to think about
“I personally believe that if a person scrolls the same thoughts in his head, then sooner or later the brain will work and start looking for possible options for the execution of the desired. A lot of time is not required for the fulfillment of simple desires, but the desires of more impressive will require a greater concentration of forces and time to achieve a result.
Therefore, it is foolish to believe that in a couple of days only by the power of thought you can get a cool car. It takes quite a long time to concentrate on the thoughts of owning a car and to firmly believe in the fulfillment of desire. Personally, I am satisfied with watching the film; I will apply the law of attraction in practice. ”

- The secret truth that has become available to all
"The film" The Secret "- a documentary evidence of the limitless possibilities of the human mind. This mechanism does not work for everyone. But the laws of the universe exist and act. This is the main idea of the film.
But do not fall into the irrepressible euphoria, thinking that any desire can be fulfilled. This sin movie heroes. The role of the all-powerful Creator is good, but only in moderation.
There is an expression: "Fear your desires, for they can be accomplished!" And they can be accomplished not at all in the way it was initially thought.
And yet, watching a movie motivates a person to become the Creator of his life and moves him to new dreams, goals, and plans. Real-life examples about which the heroes talk, inspire and teach them to believe in themselves and begin to change the world around them by changing their own thinking. ”

Neutral opinions of the movie audience
A small percentage of people who have watched the film "The Secret", do not clearly lean in their reviews in a positive or negative direction, equally noting both the pros and cons.
- The film left a double impression
“The film provoked mixed reactions among Russian viewers. Some people equate it almost to the modern Gospel, finding the ideas of the film similar to the biblical commandments. Others dispute the accuracy of the facts and call the film naive and utopian. As you know, the truth is always in the middle.
I can definitely say that a person who has devoted several years of his life to esoteric and spiritual knowledge will not discover anything new for himself in the film. But the futility of the film can not be claimed. The mechanism of fulfillment of desires, outlined by the heroes of the film, undoubtedly works, but it will not work in all cases. Visualization methods will not affect people with auditory and tactile perception of the world, but they work for people of the visual type.
I didn’t like the movie - a multiple repetition of the same truth. This is a familiar presentation of information in an overseas manner, that is, in fact, hammering ideas into the heads of viewers.
But with all the flaws, the film has a positive side: it makes people change their attitude to their lives, re-evaluate values and look to the future with hope. ”

- The disadvantages and advantages of the book and the movie "The Secret"
“Definitely, I received a more powerful impression from the book“ The Secret ”, since the film seemed to me to be very long at first. But the film wins in terms of visuals and computer graphics. Apparently, such lengths were needed to justify the costs and make a profit.
Watching a movie out of the corner of the eye will not work, especially in the second part, where the rate of presentation and the amount of information increase. The plot attracts to the screen, not allowing to come off for a second. After all, the picture was shot according to all the rules of the western TV show.
The essence of the film is really a secret, revealing that a person can become truly happy if he really wants it. How to achieve this, the heroes of the film is very well disclosed in the course of the action. So the film, despite its flaws, undoubtedly deserves attention. ”

- The secret of the film - for many has long been well-known truth
The film, of course, is not bad, with a positive start. Indeed, watching the movie, I want to follow your thoughts and feelings. But this "secret" is not new. For many, it has long become a well-known truth. The authors of the film managed to earn money on it, although there are spiritual teachers who spread this knowledge in their small circle for free.
Personally, I am familiar with such a wonderful psychologist. Having visited his training, it was as if I received a second birth, I received such a powerful motivation for action. It is important that the person worked for a small salary. But the authors of the film do not hide that they wanted not only to share a secret, but also to enrich themselves. Therefore, I question the goodness of their goals.
Psychologists have long known this secret, which is revealed in the film under the guise of a great mystery. Although it is not bad that this knowledge has received wide publicity. Therefore, the video is still worth seeing, there will surely be some benefit.

Opinions of skeptical viewers
There are few negative reviews, but they have a place to be, and one can not but listen to them.
- I'm afraid to break the general delight, but the film did not impress
“To be honest, the film did not catch me. Nothing new has been revealed to me in it. Perhaps I had such information and it was crammed with something or just the film was not made so exciting to make a strong impression.
But I can definitely say that my girlfriend, who was ecstatic about this film, lives just like a few years ago. No powerful transformations in her fate happened, that is, the focus of the “Secret” failed. Yes, and enthusiasm from a friend no longer heard.
Perhaps this works in some cases. But to give this "secret" for the Great Secret of the powerful of the world was not worth it. Perhaps there are such secrets that can transform people's lives, but this is definitely not the mystery of the film. ”

- Higher Forces "used for commercial purposes
“The film is tedious: a call about rethinking life, combined with stories from the lives of different people, is repeated a million times. Most annoying is the assertion that the supposedly powerful of this world use this "secret", but there is not a single fact confirming this thought in the film.
And equating God to the concept of energy or a faceless universe is generally similar to the false revelations of modern shepherds. It seems that people want to make thoughtless consumers of earthly goods out of people. The viewer is persistently inspired: “Why think about spiritual values, when you can easily and easily get everything you desire with just the power of thought!”

- The film "The Secret" - enrichment instructions for parasites
“The essence of the film: think and say that everything is fine with you, and everything will be so with you. Yes it does not work. If you endlessly repeat the word "lemon" - it will not be in your pocket, how not to try. On one self-suggestion you will not get far.
To achieve the goal, you need to work. About this important factor in the film do not mention. This spoils the whole impression about the film. You can just sit and dream about getting some kind of good for a long time, you can sit through your whole life and spend it very ineptly.
Therefore, the film "The Secret" looks like a bait to attract loafers and lure money from them. It would be better to teach them how to persevere and methodically achieve their goals with their own hands. ”

Conclusion: summarize the above
Opinions of the audience about this divided. Some people believe that the desire-fulfillment mechanism described in the film works. They use it in life and even claim to have learned how to solve problems quickly. Other people are skeptical of the film, citing the fact that to solve problems is not enough to dream, we need concrete actions.
Sure, there is a positive side to the film. This is a call for responsibility for their thoughts, feelings, for their lives, a mindset for positive thinking. But this is only one side of the coin. If you think about it, it will become obvious that the film nurtures a society of unspiritual consumers. Thinking only about how to get all the benefits of the world, without thinking about anything else, a person will sooner or later come to his own tragedy. And this is really the law of the universe, which cannot be broken.
And the secret that needs to be conveyed to millions of people is that we came into this life not only to consume, but to learn to love, understand, support our fellow minds. And, most importantly, generously share with them your love and all the benefits that are granted to us by the Creator!
