    I've been continually watching this movie for years and years, and it has always given me this strange but intriguing feeling and state of mind that I can't quite pinpoint. Since I was 16 I must have watch this film 30+ times. The soundtrack alone gives me feelings stronger than I've felt from almost anything else. I absolutely adore Waking Life and will continue to watch it until I'm in an end-of-life dream state like the protagonist.

      Fgermay You could say that the shifting animation matches with the concept of walking through a waking dream, or dreaming through a walking life. With each person, there is a shift in the art style, like their art style is them and they make their own personal life and reality (or perception therefore of).

      +Senior Adrian I guess that's what happens when you are first faced with definitions of terms you always assumed were predefined. Undefined love is much more convenient as it cannot be "proven wrong" and so long as it remains unquestioned, appearances are maintained.
      If someone doesn't know why they love someone else there is an easy explanation for it, as Aristotle pointed out, it is yourself, or the ideal of yourself that you love in others. You will love people who are what you wish you were, share your strengths OR weaknesses but in the end, it is what makes you who you are that you love in others, not them... our own perspective of our world wouldn't allow it any other ways because it would require you to be able to completely remove yourself from yourself to truly love someone else.

    • @caseymustain2376
      @caseymustain2376 8 років тому +3

      +JimmyRonzio42 What? That's some cockamamie tripe. A real philosopher acknowledges multiple ideologies and decides which one fits their worldview. They don't try to treat it like it's the singular truth for everyone. That's the entire point of philosophy. Love, like everything else in a relative world, is what you make it. Love, meaning, identity, morality all fall to you to sculpt how you see them or fall to you to make the decision of whether or not you accept society's definitions for these things.
      And for you to come on here and make presumptions about this person's altered worldviews with your own preconceived notions, touting them as facts, is pretentious.
      That is absurd, sir. You can love a person for whatever reason you CHOOSE to love them, whether that be they are everything you are or everything you are not or whatever your requisites for love are. Don't slander Aristotle's word by slinging it like it's the gospel.

    • @JimmyR42
      @JimmyR42 8 років тому +5

      Phail Munsta
      Actually, a "real philosopher" would start by using logic so you can't really start your "counter argument" by saying they acknowledge the positions they see fit and then continue with, but your position I don't see fit so it's invalid... that's contradictory...
      You might wanna read the book he wrote about the nature of the "soul", or more accurately his attempt to describe its "essence" before you start accusing me of "slander".
      Also, what kind of gospel starts with "I guess this happened..." ? You can convince yourself of whatever reasons why you love someone, you still haven't refute it isn't through self-association that you are doing so.
      So tell me, what is your reason, that isn't from yourself, nor about yourself, as to why you love one of your close ones? Or maybe I could ask differently, If we can agree (which I will assume for now) that your love for your wife is different from your wife's love to you, we can already agree that love in an individualist perception, not a shared emotion. It still remains 2 one-ways and will always be so because emotions can be expressed and/or perceived but nobody will ever know the love (or hate) you have for them.

    I just watched this movie. It was amazing! I am completely speechless. I have been lucid dreaming since I was a kid and lately I got really interested in it and want to use it more and more, go deeper and explore myself more and stuff. It took me a while to get used to the style of the animation, it was a bit trippy, but the second half was so dynamic and interesting. It left me full of impressions, but I can't really put it into words. It's one of those overwhelming life moments. Anyone else know what I mean?

      It let's you do whatever the fudge you want in your dreams, only if you got to know you are really dreaming. The wonderful side of this is you know that you are dream and it's not real. So you could live in an ideal world. :-)

It's so much information that it woke me up literally and now I am hungry for more knowledge and my own enlightenment. I'm thinking like "wow this is too much" but at the same time I'm like, "I'm 20 years old, I wish I could've known this sooner". I wanna know more and more and more about the purpose of life and why we came here and what we came to do.

      +Diana Medellin If you're interested in lucid dreaming and this kind of stuff, I would highly recommend reading Lucid dreaming or Dreams of awakening by Charlie Morley. He is a young, briliant teacher of lucid dreaming and does retreats and workshops all over the world. I know what you mean by hunger for knowledge and enlightenment. I am also 20 years old and I am interested in spiritual stuff and psychology. It can all get a bit overwhelming. Also, I have had two beers, but life is awesome. I don't know.

    A thousand years is but an instant.
    There’s nothing new, nothing different; same pattern over and over. The same clouds, same music, the same things I felt an hour or an eternity ago. There’s nothing here for me now, nothing at all.
    Now I remember, this happened to me before. This is why I left.
    You have begun to find your answers. Although it will seem difficult the rewards will be great. Exercise your human mind as fully as possible knowing that it is only an exercise. Build beautiful artifacts, solve problems, explore the secrets of the physical universe, savor the input from all the senses, filled with joy and sorrow and laughter, empathy, compassion, and tuck these emotional memories in your travel bag.
    I remember where I came from, and how I became human, why I hung around, and now my final departure’s scheduled:
    This way out, escaping velocity.
    Not just eternity, but
    Infinity.

    I think most people just overhype something they really don't understand, but seems to be true because of complex wording. This movie was interesting, but for the first 50min it all just sounded like mental masturbation or vomiting of ideas, something very disconnected (maybe because dreams can be like that). It had some interesting topics like the collective unconscious and Phillip Dick story, for me it was it, but it probably helped people that aren't used to questioning and thinking to start looking for answers on what's life.

      This movie literally predicted the appearance of the AIs as we know it now. It's way far from being just a mental masturbation. I would even define this as the most practical philosophical advice ever made.

      @@senka369 Actually, a couple weeks later, and after some events, I have a different idea of arts in general, and especially movies like this. Can't avoid to see it as another attempt of big media to manipulate certain niches. But it's not easy to understand why this is that way.

    The soundtrack is worth getting as well. It is strange mixture of classical and tango music. Very beautiful and very dreamy and is a sountrack that can stand alone without the accompanying images. It's good walking music to have on one's Ipod when you want to feel little weird and detached---but in a good way.

    If we lived in a world of intellectuals then movies like this one would be a very common way to express things that provide awe and inspiring moments of imagination and creativity. I believe that minus all of the profit assumptions vs. costs for production, it is possible to market films that have a lasting impact on generations (think Star Wars, LOTR, Harry Potter, etc). Unfortunately, people like Paul Feig and Amy Pascal are on a campaign to undermine the inspirational value of entertainment that is done properly. Who will call Ghostbusters 2016 a classic in 10 or 20 years? Hollywood seems to be running out of spontaneous, heart-warming, life changing methods and approaches for leaving a respectable impact on the audience, as evidenced by Ghostbusters 2016.

    "Waking Life" deals seriously with dreams on intellectual and emotional levels. It is one of the most important films of the last decade.
