Waking Life
Friday, February 24th, 2006 | Site Updates
I watched this “movie” called Waking Life. It should be something I consider my kind of film. It was done in a concept style where it was filmed in real life and then all the real objects had animation placed over the top of them.
The plot is that a guy is in his dream and can’t wake up. However the journey he goes on is just him walking/floating around talking to people with deep ideas. People with ideas on the neuroscience, astrophysics, lucid dreaming, collective consciousness etc…
However I didn’t really like it. I mean, I have already heard most of the principals and ideas that were discussed and it didn’t go anywhere special. I suppose the idea is not for things to happen but for you to just think on the subject matter when you are done.
The animation which I thought I would like started to bother me after awhile, as it kind of had that twitchy feel that I can only explain to people who have seen the cartoon Dr. Katz.
I think I would of enjoyed it more if I was stoned, but the study drugs and ibprofin just weren’t cutting it.

People spouting ideas? Does that make this movie akin to what the bleep do we know?, in that it’s more a documentary than a movie?
Dr. Katz? oh gog…*shivers at the memory of the animation* At least it made the movie more interesting. I recall hearing it was originally going to be a live action movie…though that could be bogus like everything else i hear.
no, it’s just a “movie” to watch on drugs. i thought of what the bleep when I watched it for awhile, but I think I actually enjoyed bleep more
it had to do with the deaf woman, right? Always make something interesting…
um…. no…
