its a film by the guy who did dazed and confused he shot the whole film on video , then turned it over , in sections to about eight different animators. they drew over the frames in their own styles then when its all finished . they put it back together. looks/sounds like a good idea. might be piss poor in reality tho. |

This idea has been done many times in the past... I know Ralph Bacchi did it (forget if that is how to spell it), but anything he does turns out like soapscum, reguardless of how good the ideas are. I have seen it in a few movies... usually the images look 'traced', and it doesn't work out as well as intended. Too bad, cause it is a good idea. |

i've heard good things and bad, though i haven't seen it (but want too). it's good because it's supposed to be a head trip as far as what it tries to express. there have been some reviews that say there's too much preaching and philosophy in it. i imagine it's pretty good. it LOOKS like slackers (one of richard linklater's first movies) but drawn all over |

too much philosophy? it's composed entirely of philosphy in one way or another. if you don't want to think about big questions don't see this movie. preachy doesn't really describe it, because it presents a large variety of viewpoints. you'd have to be in some pretty serious denial to not care about the issues brought up. not that it's some dry philosphical study though, it's very emotionally engaging, one of the most important and inspiring films i've ever seen. if you have decent vision and hearing you have no excuse not to see this film. Taxidermist: the visuals are absolutely perfect. |

i agree...after a little while watching it..i figured there must have been a bunch of critics complaining about 'preachy-ness' and 'plotless-ness' but thats what critics do... once you get passed the complete lack of narrative/plot (which is explained in the movie, btw) it really is one of the most beautiful movies ive ever seen...conceptually,visually, etc... and by far the most thought-provoking just think of the concepts of every intellectual/thought provoking movie youve ever seen..and imagine them being all mixed together into one... its a bit like an errol morris film...in that the majority of it is various people speaking their mind on things they are passionate about... and has anyone seen the movie 'the cruise' i wouldnt be surprised if its by the same director (though im not sure if it is) but its based on the guy with glasses and puffy hair who appears on the top of the brooklyn bridge in waking life... he's a tour guide on one of those nyc double decker tour busses...very interesting guy...you should check that one out if you liked waking life and slackers... |

Its worth seeing, its definately thought provoking, but it got kind of dull at times. Go when you are in the right mood to watch a 2 hour conversation...bring somebody whose worth discussing metaphysical topics with... |

yeah..i was thinking that may be why they used the really neat animation technique...to keep your interest over extended periods of talking..which admittedly would get kinda boring if it were just regular live action...that and to emphasize the dreaminess of everything... |
