"..for example if I think "oh yeah I will get this job," then I never get it, but if I think "there's no way I will get this job, I failed", then I do get it."
I know exactly what you mean!
Law of Attraction may work sometimes in small scale (in fact, I think it has worked for me, although I wasn't conscious of it).
But this 'Law of Opposition' certainly works, too!
I think what happens, is that you LET GO. You don't become materially obsessed, so everything is free, nothing is restricted and tied down, so energy can flow freely and work for you.
It also shows humility, and the Universe often rewards humility.
Also, life can sometimes surprise us - if we become control freaks, and try to control all aspects of life, then often life has no other way to surprise us but to shock us. But if you voluntarily LET GO, and let life surprise you more freely, it can offer you things you didn't expect or couldn't imagine beforehand.
Let's say someone is invited to a party. They imagine the party to be really wonderful, ecstatic experience - then the party finally starts, and they find out, it's quite mundane. It's a disappointment.
But if they don't have any expectations, and possibly think the party is going to suck, then they arrive, and it's actually kinda fun in a small way, and uplifting things happen, then it may become one of their fondest memories.
There's the 'Uncertainty Principle' as well at play here.
When the makers of Back to the Future weren't sure if the film was going to be able to made - and when The Matrix-creators also had a similar experience, it created a feeling of 'uncertainty', which at the very least made everyone extremely focused on pouring their finest selves into making the film, but I think, esoterically, it also brings humility and creativity into play, and lets energy flow more freely, and this sort of 'blesses the project'.
When they then made sequels with cocky attitudes of 'it will sell', and cold, calculating, money-hungry way of making it, the end result suffered tremendously. Now they KNEW it was going to be made, and all uncertainty was gone.
These are just a few examples, but it's easy to find more and more such examples - heck, I have experienced it with my own work. The best creations that are most praised, are the ones I made in complete uncertainty and wasn't sure if I was able to ever even finish them, etc.
And when I consciously tried to create something as good, the end result was a soulless mediocrity instead. No one praised those creations, even if they were 'technically good', and I don't even like to revisit them, although the others I sometimes re-evaluate.
So, what I am saying, is that you are definitely onto something here. Too bad this movie (and the snake-oil-book before it) doesn't acknowledge any of these other 'laws'.. I guess it'd be too actually spiritual and humble for the greedy, materialistic-nihilistic, money-grubbing version of 'spirituality' that the fabricators of this trash want to peddle.
