Starring:
Wiley Wiggins (Dazed and Confused, The Faculty)
Ethan Hawke (Gattaca, Dead Poets Society, Sinister)
My Rating: 2/5
Waking Life was another film on a list of 25 films to watch, but I'm not so sure about this one. It's definitely like nothing I've ever seen before.
The main character spends the film wandering through a dream witnessing and having philosophical conversations with a variety of characters. It touches on a range of subjects including evolution, politics, reincarnation, free will, and the list goes on.
The animation is incredibly trippy, which is appropriate given that it's supposed to be a dream, but it is amazing to watch it change with the mood of the scene, morphing from almost real to completely abstract.
Most certainly not your average movie, but thought provoking if you can stick with it to the end.
