This movie is a true account of life outside the Barbie and Ken boxes of suburbia. I seriously consider this a beautiful experience that most people should enjoy and discuss in order to embrace evolution of human life.
If this does not seem match your 'preferred genre profile' or 'entertainment style', do this;
Watch it alone with a open mind - and stay present - accept and understand.
You may in the end be rewarded with a deeper insight to human life through the channeled wisdom of the people involved. Except the red guy in jail who is a truly scary embodiment of unconsciousness... along with the guy who shoots the bartender. Some of the protagonists are deeply trapped within their own minds while other have liberated themselves and as free as birds. Humans as humans should be. Human 2.0 (or is it 3 or 4).
If this is for you: watch it and smile.
The contrast is both scary and powerful and serves to show how we should take responsibility for our lives and each other. But the movie is not moralistic - it's simply honest and most of the people reconstruct a reality that all humans deserve to sense beneath 'the matrix'... as such it's a quest for the truth and the meaning of life.
The first 10 minutes may be an exit prequel for completely unconscious people (almost had me turn it off - I didn't). Guess I am just another example of how we are zombies brainwashed into stereotyped entertainment schemes - accepting the unreal - drama and indifference as the point of life when there is so much more.
In the end it comes forward more as an emotion than through the beautiful perspectives on human life and beyond is portrayed. The narrative is well constructed and creatively put together in a 'acid'-like yet non-cheesy cartoon theater setting. The setting becomes the voice of the movie along with the young male main character trapped in the infinite loop of life. Who am I? What matters? What is dream? What is real?
Personally I will always be grateful for this experience Richard Linklaiter - so thank you! Whether alienated from society, alone, open for new impressions or in spiritual search of meaning and enlightenment this dream is surely one everybody should benefit from having at least once in the lifetime...
The dreamers are not the dead ones!
