  • The secrets of the universe will never be told by a man who's vulnerable to the realities of life.

    Make the right friends before you make any findings :)

    tough to do for the main character cuz well.... he's a poor poor chinese guy

  • 0:04 What is the name of this song?

  • I just watched it today its a sad movie

  • Dark Matter? Oh I thought this was finally a film about Dark Matter from Kirby's Dreamland. Guess I'll have to keep hoping...

  • @kdreamland education minister Michelle Rhee and mayor Kevin Johnson NFL got married in sacramento california, yeah americans dont know how to teach Dark Matter or Meteors for that matter

  • lol wtf. it was good until the end LMFAO.

  • And yes I know this is based (loosely) on actual events. I didn't say it was a "bad" movie. But murder, even of asshats like that professor and that kissass "Lauwrence", is never beautiful to me.

  • Liu Ye was adorable though!

  • It was a beautiful movie... until the end.

  • with all respect to you the one who put this video..

    this movie is Rubbish

    especially when this cosmetologist student talk with disrespect about God

  • @MrRustyDust Its called cosmologist dumbass, not cosmetologist thats for makeup artists

  • @KillerBod101

    Thanks for correction sucker

    and info too.

  • This movie is atrocious! It portrays American professors as jealous, racist egomaniacs and the foreign Chinese student as an innocent, loving, nonmisogynist, brilliant sweetie pie who cracked under understandable pressure. But that is not what happened! Gang Lu's dissertation was boring. His classmate's dissertation was more interesting and noteworthy. Lu was the mediocre, jealous egomaniac! Shame to Sundance for producing this ridiculous film.

  • I meant Gang Lu

  • This is BS! The real Gang Wu shot faculty, students and a couple of female office administrators cause he didn't win a $1000 award that went to another student! He was awarded his Ph.D and had graduated already. He was a psycho!

  • Wow, this looks horrible.

    A potential spin off about a genius Asian cosmetologist though? The possibilities are endless. 

  • everybody listen hes on a mission......

  • So much for cosmology.

  • @Redskin1040 did they EVER find a 4th state of dark matter???? even with out him?

  • @matterh1 If you refer to the character's theory in the film, and roughly 90% of the mass of the universe is thought to be contained in "dark matter," the composition and state of which are unknown, then no. The real scientist's name was Gang Lu. His dissertation was titled Study of the "Critical Ionization Velocity" Effect by Particle-in-Cell Stimulation. Since I am no cosmologist or astrophysicist, I wouldn't know how his actual dissertation would have been relative to dark matter in general.

  • this based on a real story, right?.... tsss, in a way i kind of understand hs reaction at the end, but then again lives were taken.... life in never black and white, i guess we all should learn a lesson from this movie...

  • Ending is so right.., because was right, the professor was wrong.

  • The ending caught me by surprize. A feat not easly done.

    As for getting your rightful do on this speck of galactic debris . Forget about it.

    Its too bad many talented and gifted people never get taught that its about who you know and who you blow.

    Grants go to winners of the gam not the most talented.

  • @BlueRoseRocketBand2 needs change

  • I am recommending this film to friends who have seen Academic Politics in action.

    It is a great subject for a film about some of the threatened professors in various institutions. I have seen this kind of thing in other venues, too. I suppose that is why so many mediocre folks win. It is too bad that ability to play the game is more important than talent.

  • @jpapare You have never talked to a surgeon, have you?

  • This movie is fiction, as are all Hollywood movies (apart from documentaries). Please look up what truly happened before you comment.

    I recommend reading "The Fourth State of Matter" by Jo Ann Beard.

  • @WritingIsHappiness that is a good essay right there :]

  • the white men always cherish humanity, as long as humanity does not rise above them. however, this is truth for everyone and in every race

  • i like the ending where the white professors died. they deserve to die : D

  • Does the song of VOODOO & SERANO Cold Blood appears in this movie??

  • @tinotrivino Why did Germany Lose ww2 so?

  • Just don't give chinks any weapon...

  • sad but realistic. University politics is pretty complicated.

  • @lugia3 University? You find the same politics very where in the society. I know a couple of surgeons that quit, because of this.

  • @lugia3 That is true. However, in physics, most professors just want to reach the final common goal. They want to figure out the true secrets of the world. Those are the non-ego-driven professors, the rest [of the assholes] who do it for money are ego-driven professors.

  • trailer i actually better than movie :S

  • Comment removed

  • Wonderful, tragic film!!!!!!

  • Is this movie a true story?

  • @XpuppybreathX yes it is from a true story, on Nov. 1. 1991, a chinese student killed 5 person in the university of iowa Van Allen Hall, including his advisor. the shooter's name was Lu Gang... i am currently a UI student..

  • @XpuppybreathX sorry it was 1989

  • @johnsoncuiChina should be 1991...囧

  • Did this really happen? If so how much of the movie is factual?

  • @XpuppybreathX probably all the name and the date of massacre is factual...but most of the things are real

  • awerzum3!

  • I saw this film and it was wonderful.

    Loosely based on a true story.

  • this movie is fuck up

  • @elyjah3 whats it bout?

  • i love lieu ye!!! bravo!!!!!! great performance!!!!!

  • I love this movie... I can't get over it!!!!

    I've seen it on July 2008, in Star Movies

    still... i can feel the gravity

  • the chinese guy is amazing at acting. i don't really know about this movie, but in the chinese ones he's just awesome

  • beautiful story based in true events, USA go and burn in hell like must be.

  • Just watched the movie and it is wonderful. Excellent actors

  • the movie doesnt look all that bad. doubt ide go out of my way to watch it though. dump meryl streep and find some talent and the film may do really well. this will be 1 of those, "fuck, ive seen em all... guess ill rent the only copy of this that blockbuster stocks"

  • Btw, is that true that in China ppl do the "people´s exercises" every morning?

  • looks like it might be ok at best. I do like the idea of conflict between true science and the authorities science which this film may have some commentary on. The acting looks ok, which may bring it down.

  • this movie looks like its gonna be depressing...dont think i'll watch it

  • sad to say , i'll never got over with this movie.. i can't move on,,, weaaaaaaahhh!!!!

  • brilliant film, excelent actors, marvellous ending

  • bullshit. another interracial bullshit i guess

  • Your guess is dead wrong, the movie isnt about that at all

  • Comment removed

  • "up the bottoms"

  • sad ending

  • Mathematically Breakthrough

    The decelerating force that affected the Pioneer probes and the accelerating force that had caused many Fly-by anomalies:

    1.) Both affect the Earth (and the planets) as well, - and with full force.

    2.) Automatically equalize each other (when affecting the planets).

    This is today is now mathematically proven.

    More >> science27. com > read the chapter: The Pioneer Anomaly..

    Here are the key for understanding dark matter as well..

  • wasnt to bad, just sad ending

  • i go crazy nao. i pwn you

  • 99% OF DA UNIVERSE, DARK MATTER

  • fuck yall prejudice response,  this movie was dope

  • looks like a Fail cake movie

  • lol, i love fgrod's response. i guess he didn't realize this was a sundance film...

  • mhh i want to see this. Not something I would usually go for but I want to see this. Seems interesting as heck.

  • I really want to watch this movie. Does anybody know if it will be out in the cinema soon?

  • This movie was really good,  Kinda sheads some light on how that sometimes Asian people are treated baddly when they are very smarter!

  • he did the right thing. they did deserve to die.

  • Just because they did not accepted his theory? Man, I don´t know what kind of cave you lived in, but in civilized world the human life has a very high meaning.

    Serial killers are in the same field as men like Hitler, C. Rice, Talat Pasha or Mussolini.

    Everybody has fails and turn downs, but killing someone just because he did not accept his theory, that has no justifications among rational species!

  • it's not simply not accepting Liu's theory, just that... the professor just got pissed of because of him..

  • jajaja its like " Dude, try showing your theory in another university, science magazine, other teachers..." The idea of the movie was good, the development was not

  • So this is what it's like when scientists come up with new theories "FUCK YOU YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT" "NO U".

  • Sad film.

  • This movie was sooooo good. The true story of Gang Lu, a Chinese physics student played by "Ye Liu". He should get an award for his powerful performance. He also plays in Blood Brothers, The Promise, and another one of Yimou Zhang's gr8 films, Curse of the Golden Flower

  • whack!!

  • good movie, great acting by chinese dude ! shame these american movies always make other people look so dumb silly ! good movie!

  • retard..

  • I bet your alot of fun at a party...

  • This movie is pure fucking dumbness, and at the peak of lameness, and we all know it. It even sucks and being a drama.

  • Comment removed

  • Why dont you shut the fuck up you asshole.

  • Does Meryl Streeps character die in this ?

  • are you retarded??

    this film is about Gang Lu

    the student that shot and killed 5 teachers and injured 1

    at the university of iowa in 1991

    he went crazy with jealousy. read the 4th state of matter which is an essay about this occurrence, further more the title is called Dark Matter because it happened in the science department

  • Well, I suppose if you want to watch science, you should turn to documentaries, but don't disparage a great drama just because it's not your genre. According to your reasoning, then, "The Deer Hunter" should've been about sy hunting deer, shouldn't it? However abominable it may seem, the title has a double meaning, and on purpose. :-I

  • @principessa1121 shush!... it should have been called THE FOREIGN STUDENT !!!

  • Yes...it's a piece of fiction, so the title may not only refer to the scientific phenomenon but suggest sg else as well...maybeperhaps...

  • you asshole

  • well how would know? are you a scientist?

  • all American professors should see this movie, maybe it will teach them something LOL

  • if the system remains the same, no movie can change anything. The current system gives faculty advisor almost God like power, if he decided to abuse his students, steal their ideas or simply delay graduation indefinitely, there is almost nothing the student or anybody else can do beside giving up his 5-6 years of hard work and leave.

  • I agree 100% eatfastnoodle. In the 5+ years I've spent trying to earn my Master's I've hit roadblock after roadblock. There exists almost no oversight or influence the student can exert on the Master's or Doctoral process. There is one student in my program who I think is one of the most promising and intelligent grad students I've ever met, but he's quit due to stress and frustration.

  • and it's not just the faculty advisor, anybody on your graduate committee can potentially torpedo your graduation. I know a guy who has the support of his advisor, chair of the department. several big shot professors and even the head of grad school, yet still ran into serious problems from one single professor who didn't even have tenure, all because of some stupid internal politics between his advisor and that guy, yes, by acting so intransigently, that professor was digging his own grave cuz

  • intentionally torturing a student who had had everything ready except his signature would reflect very badly on himself, not to mention the almost sure to come retaliation from the student's advisor, but fact of matter remains: the system ensures that not even the president of the university can do anything if a member of your committee refuses to greenlight your dissertation, he could basically come up any excuse to prevent you from getting your degree. It's total insanity.

  • Im sure most of them have read or "heard of" the Gang Lu true story which this film is based.

  • is this a true story?

  • yes

  • I was in this film, look in the cafe scene- im the guy at the back left corner in the red cap.

  • This looks very interesting--an unusual story.

  • "You're all gonna die now!"
