hang on for the ride - Waking Life is a superb loopy deep-dive into a rotoscoped Linklater universe - talking heads made witty & visually interesting, sometimes beautiful, sometimes lurid, sometimes - oh, everything else you might imagine animation can do in the hands of the man who did Slackers -- existential, smart, provocative, fun, disturbing & sometimes blindingly articulate: seductive and right the whole way through. Tugs at you multi-dimensionally: teaches you to bring the dream up & go down to the dream: sort of Freud for the new age. Bravo to all of the many who groomed & goosed this into its miraculous being. There s no waking up from it.Guy KettelhackNew York City
Good movies like this aren t made very often. - this movie covers a lot of ground, things that people need realize or hear at the very least. just a lot of people talking about some very important issues. well presented, well written, properly executed and effectively implemented. should be in every movie aficionado s collection!
open you rmind - I love the thought provoking dialogue I was expecting that I wasn t completely pleased with the presentation. The way this film is animated, to me, distracts fom the message a bit...
Waking Life - Waking LifeThis movie is surreal. It is captured in real life via a hand held camera, then it was sent to six different artists to create their own style of animation over the live action. The styles are all unique, giving the viewer amazing views of interations between the main character and his many acquaintances in his dream/real(?) world. The animation is the very best visual reprsentation of what I can remember of hallucinations on LSD from 40 years ago. It s amazing. The movie has some much to offer that you need to see it over and over again to catch the many insightful thoughts presented. Be sure to put the English captions on to catch all of the clever wording. You will either love this movie, or hate it. I loved it.
Eye opening and artistic - This movie is very well done. The animation is great, I especially liked the way it matched the characters personality. It s cool to see so many different opinions and thoughts on life and existence. Awesome movie!
