Waking Life https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/98/Waking-Life-Poster.jpg Dir: Richard Linklater Genre: Animated, Fantasy Year: 2001 A third weird experimental film in a row. We're starting to get into the thick of it! Waking Life is easily the most accessible of this trio of unrelated films, but it's definitely still a far-out film. It takes your typical Linklater "walk around and talk about nothing" formula (like Slacker and the Before Trilogy), but pumps it full of DMT and philosophy 101. I first watched this movie in a film class I took that focused on dreaming and the unconscious mind. And that really is the central theme of the otherwise plotless meanderings--how dreams and reality intersect, and how various thinkers over time have tried to reconcile this relationship. It's a really mesmerizing film that will probably reverberate in your brain for a long time after you watch it--whether you realize it or not. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ...
