Waking Life (Philosophical Films)
Is there a gun control message here (Linklater states that he was intentionally ambiguous on the issue)?. . .
A gang of intellectuals roam the streets, spouting philosophical one-liners.
. . .
-- Wholly Evil While the unnamed lead character in this film wanders through life, in and out of dreams, you find it very difficult to determine if what hes experiencing is real or not.
. . .
Once the answers are out there, we can all pick up on them; its like were all telepathically sharing our experiences. Is there a more simple explanation to such world-wide innovative leaps?
. . .
Do we really need notions of freedom to give us a sense of responsibility?
. . .
Throughout the whole of the movie, the main character floats from one scene to another, with every different scene containing a different interesting person or group of people who talk about philosophical issues in some way, shape, or form.

You didn’t say how much of a problem small talk is.. . .
I agree its a clever use of technology but that same tech gets stale after about 2 minutes.

I must watch and write it down again… Very thought provoking :) Rich McAdam…….and the irish guy with the ‘ever-evolving’ hands and face….. love it.
. . .
I’m becoming a little wary of getting too far off topic, as I have a bad tendency to do that.
. . .
Because of my username I often get called one dimensional and narrow minded, they flatter me also, in reality, I’m much more shallow.
. . .
It’s not a big problem if few people occasionally exchange few lines out of topic.But sometimes it becomes tedious for the rest when two people start their own personal conversation throughout the threads.

Hoberman of The Village Voice felt that Waking Life "doesn't leave you in a dream ... so much as it traps you in an endless bull session."[15] Frank Lovece felt the film was "beautifully drawn" but called its content "pedantic navel-gazing."[16] Nominated for numerous awards, mainly for its technical achievements, Waking Life won the National Society of Film Critics award for "Best Experimental Film," the New York Film Critics Circle award for "Best Animated Film", and the "CinemAvvenire" award at the Venice Film Festival for "Best Film." It was also nominated for the Golden Lion, the festival's main award.
. . .
The talk is dizzyingly flighty as well -- brimming with youthful inquisitiveness, Waking Life is a movie drunk on talk and ideas.
. . .
The film focuses on the nature of dreams, consciousness, and existentialism.[2] The title is a reference to philosopher George Santayana's maxim: "Sanity is a madness put to good uses; waking life is a dream controlled."[3] Contents 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Production 4 Release 4.1 Reception 4.2 Home media 5 Soundtrack 6 See also 7 Footnotes 7.1 References 8 External links Plot Waking Life is about an unnamed[2] young man in a persistent dream-like state that eventually progresses to lucidity.
. . .
Instead of trying to compete with the film's intense visuals with a musically busy score or pop songs, the largely tango and classical-inspired score provides a subtle backdrop to Waking Life's beautiful animation.

The other film, Tape, was a spur-of-the-moment project based on a play brought to Linklater’s attention by Hawke, who enlisted friend Robert Sean Leonard and then-wife Uma Thurman to co-star.. . .
He subsequently relocated to the state’s capital of Austin, where he founded a film society and began work on his debut short film, 1987’s It’s Impossible to Learn to Plow by Reading Books.
. . .
Typically setting each of his movies during one 24-hour period, Linklater’s work explored what he dubbed “the youth rebellion continuum,” focusing in fine detail on generational rites and mores with rare compassion and understanding while definitively capturing the twenty- something culture of his era through a series of nuanced, illuminating ensemble pieces which introduced any number of talented young actors into the Hollywood firmament.
. . .
Reworking the script and putting his cast through extensive rehearsals, Linklater added an element of off-the-cuff realism to the formula tale, and in the process garnered some of the best reviews, as well as the best box-office returns, of his career.
. . .
He attempted to recapture the box-office success of School of Rock with a remake of Michael Ritchie’s The Bad News Bears, although the results were not quite as fruitful either artistically or financially.

Because Bazin equated reality with God, capturing the reality of a moment means capturing God.. . .
The protagonist finds himself in a large room, where several conversations take place.
. . .
Now we are experiencing a new kind of evolution, which is proceeding on two levels--digital (artificial intelligence) and analog (biotechnology).
. . .
Time is created by us postponing the invitation, saying "No, thank you; no, thank you." Lady Gregory concludes, "Life is the journey from the no to the yes." Then Linklater realizes that everyone in his dream is dead, and that he's actually visiting the land of the dead.
. . .
A man in overalls strumming a ukulele picks up the train of thought.
. . .
At the end of their conversation, the protagonist asks Linklater how you wake up--how you really wake up.

Thanks to each character's oddball charm, the ethereal conversation is as dynamic as the animation, resulting in an innovative film that is by turns droll, disturbing and provocative.

Waking Life - Empower Yourself
This is an important question - choosing a Hypnotherapist that is right for you requires some research, discernment and most of all, inner listening.. . .
First and foremost, you should always ensure that any Hypnotherapist you consider is fully qualified, insured and a member of a governing body such as the International Association for Counsellors and Therapists, or the Australian Hypnotherapy Association etc. By being a member of one of these associations, you can be assured they are fully trained, qualified and insured, as this is a requirement for any membership to such a body.
. . .
Hypnosis was traditionally interpreted as a method or process by which a person can go into trance.
. . .
Physical relaxation is not a prerequisite for hypnosis to occur.
. . .
Have a look at their website if they have one, read any articles they may have written and if you get a good feeling from what you read and see, then perhaps calling them would be a great next step.

Several of these characters come off as slackers, but theyre poetic slackers.
. . .
From a broad perspective, its exactly the type of revolutionary, utterly new creation we need after ten months of mostly generic cinema (but then, havent every years first ten months basically become mostly generic?).
. . .
Its basically his way of saying, "Okay, thats what everyone else thinksnow heres what I believe." This climactic monologue also punctuates the spiritual undercurrent.
. . .
And really, thats what Waking Life is a holy moment.
. . .
You wouldnt form your world view around them (the film doesnt even do that) but its interesting to listen to for a couple of hours.

Waking Life - Filmcritic.com Movie Review
All of these soapbox speeches sometimes lead to the profane, illogical, and rambling notions of a crazy person.. . .
The writer and director of the film Richard Linklater, best known for Slacker and Dazed and Confused, tackles heavy subject matter and succeeds admirably.
. . .
Some will find it to be one of the most brilliant pieces of film ever produced.
. . .
Characters are either given great detail or are reduced to resemble child-like drawings that would hang on the family refrigerator.
. . .
The metaphysical expressionism of the film is made even more powerful by the awe- inspiring animation work of Bob Sabiston, who created unique 'interpolated rotoscoping' software to give Wiley's dream world a surreal and Dali-esque movement and feeling.
. . .
The result is proof that both the painter's brush and the filmmaker's eye can combine to achieve visions of wonder and profoundness.
