Young student Willie Wiggins (Wiley Wiggins) received such a prophecy from a friend in childhood: "Dream is destiny". When he grew up, he came to a strange city in a trance. Willy walks the streets and alleys, experiencing all kinds of magical experiences, as if traveling through different dreams. During this period, he also met all kinds of people: from the driver of the boat-shaped car to the university professor, from the sexy blonde to the crazy-eyed man, from the blond man who set himself on fire to the four people with reggae heads The group...everyone chattered about life, ideals and philosophies. And Willy didn't say a word, just like a very patient listener.
The film was shot by director and screenwriter Richard Linklater in DV live action and "animated" with software. Director Steven Soderbergh (Steven Soderbergh) also appeared in the film.

    Linklater's Inception, the 2001 film is also a pioneer now.

    A collection of all kinds of people's rhetorical words, talking tuberculosis really can't hurt ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. Timothy Speed ​​Levitch was a little surprise, and Soderbergh's little tidbit about Wilder. Emma, ​​this movie is too talkative. I can't stand it.

Waking Life quotes

  • Alex Jones: "You can't fight city hall." "Death and taxes." "Don't talk about politics or religion." This is all the equivalent of enemy propaganda, rolling across the picket line. "Lay down, GI! Lay down, GI!". We saw it all through the 20th Century. And now on the 21st Century, it's time to stand up and realize, that we should NOT allow ourselves to be crammed into this rat maze. We should not SUBMIT to dehumanization. I don't know about you, but I'm concerned with what's happening in this world. I'm concerned with the structure. I'm concerned with the systems of control. Those that control my life, and those that seek to control it EVEN MORE! I want FREEDOM! That's what I want, and that's what YOU should want! It's up to each and every one of us to turn loose of just some of the greed, the hatred, the envy, and yes, the insecurities, because that is the central mode of control, make us feel pathetic, small, so we'll willingly give up our sovereignty, our liberty, our destiny. We have GOT to realize we're being conditioned on a mass scale. Start challenging this corporate slave state! The 21st Century's gonna be a new century! Not the century of slavery, not the century of lies and issues of no significance, of classism and statism, and all the rest of the modes of control... it's gonna be the age of humankind, standing up for something PURE and something RIGHT! What a bunch of garbage, liberal, Democratic, conservative, Republican, it's all there to control you, two sides of the same coin! Two management teams, bidding for control of the CEO job of Slavery Incorporated! The TRUTH is out there in front of you, but they lay out this buffet of LIES! I'm SICK of it, and I'M NOT GONNA TAKE A BITE OUT OF IT! DO YA GOT ME? Resistance is NOT futile, we're gonna win this thing, humankind is too good, WE'RE NOT A BUNCH OF UNDERACHIEVERS, WE'RE GONNA STAND UP, AND WE'RE GONNA BE HUMAN BEINGS! WE'RE GONNA GET FIRED UP ABOUT THE REAL THINGS, THE THINGS THAT MATTER - CREATIVITY, AND THE *DYNAMIC* *HUMAN* *SPIRIT* THAT REFUSES TO *SUBMIT*! WELL THAT'S IT, that's all I've got to say. It's in your court now.

  • Soap Opera Woman: Excuse me.

    Wiley: Excuse me.

    Soap Opera Woman: Hey. Could we do that again? I know we haven't met, but I don't want to be an ant. You know? I mean, it's like we go through life with our antennas bouncing off one another, continously on ant autopilot, with nothing really human required of us. Stop. Go. Walk here. Drive there. All action basically for survival. All communication simply to keep this ant colony buzzing along in an efficient, polite manner. "Here's your change." "Paper or plastic?' "Credit or debit?" "You want ketchup with that?" I don't want a straw. I want real human moments. I want to see you. I want you to see me. I don't want to give that up. I don't want to be ant, you know?
