Waking Life is a good movie for those who don't easily get seasick. The constant motion reminded me of being on a cruise ship, an alternate reality in itself. If you can get by the constant flowing "dreaminess" (on a cruise there are those who pop Dramamine or wear a patch) then there is a great deal to ponder: existentialism, nihilism, collective consciousness, human evolution, the criminal mind, lucid dreaming, free will, the holy moment, the power of the subconscious, your own reality and many other topics. The plot is introduced really late in the movie so the viewer is left wondering"what the hec is going on?" However, patience does pay off and it will all come together for you if you don't get seasick and if you remember to use your higher brain function. I liked the gonzo style of the filmmakers and their creativity. This movie could lead to lengthy discussions on many different topics and I could even see a Philosophy Professor using it as a final exam. Watch it and expand your mind or don't and just "Dream on Dude"!
