“Something that I wanted to do through the film is try to explore the roots of belief, because everything has to do with beliefs. When I studied the side of the rationalists and the skeptics, and the side of the believers and so-called psychics, I found out that both of them, no matter what they claim to do, behave in a very similar way. They only accepted what confirmed their previous positions, and tended to reject everything that put them at risk.” TryingFilmBeliefRiskBelieverAcceptedBehaveSkeptic Author:Rodrigo Cortes
“Even when you expose something, when you have a true believer, that person rejects that proof; he thinks it's just a set-up. We believe what's more convenient for us to believe. We always behave this way. We start with the conclusion, and then we create a body of theories around it. We choose what allows us not to change.” ThinkingBelieveBelieverConclusionBehaveTrue Believer Author:Rodrigo Cortes
