A college studentcame to a surreal fantasy world. The city he lives in seems to be Austin, but the rules and order of daily life seem to be completely broken. He wandered from one place to another, constantly encountering strange and weird people. The most interesting thing is that the people he met were talking about some grand and profound topics: from quantum theory to the origin of language, from existentialism to the reincarnation of human beings, from the absurdity of free will to film as a narrative tool, he fell into In one conversation after another. He tried to know whether he was in a dream or awake. But in the end he just found himself constantly waking up and falling into the dream again and again. He couldn't get rid of the dreams that emerged one after another, and began to understand the meaning of dreams gradually, and tried to control the dream and the surrounding environment, and distinguish the difference between the awakened life and the life in the dream   .

    0.5 times the speed, all dreams and all wake up. 2.0x speed, wake up and see all dreams. I chose the latter.

    Linklater, you really know how to play, you can shoot this. Basically, it can be regarded as an animated explanation of elementary philosophy. Does human exist, does reality exist, and how do you know that you are not in a dream? It shouldn't be difficult to keep up with the thinking speed of the characters in the film, so you will find that things we take for granted are actually hard to hold.

Waking Life quotes

  • Man on TV: I do not await the future, anticipating salvation, absolution, not even enlightenment through process. I subscribe to the premise that this flawed perfection is sufficient and complete, in every single ineffable moment.

  • Otto Hofmann: The quest is to be liberated from the negative, which is really our own will to nothingness. And, once having said yes to the instant, the affirmation is contagious. It bursts into a chain of affirmations that knows no limit. To say yes to one instant, is to say yes to all of existence.
