Review of Waking Life

Waking Life (2001)
10/10
For a thinker, a masterpiece
23 April 2023
This is life. While watching, I thought so much that I got tired, but the masterpiece of this movie comes from the amazing combination of questioning dreams and life (respectable). Listen from the perspective of an ordinary viewer too.

The film makes extraordinary, profound reflections on many things that have happened in your life within a multi-layered dream, and at some parts, I had to pause and watch twice to understand (my recommendation is to watch by pausing). The rotoscope technique was as if it was created for this film and its amazing compatibility impressed me a lot.

I realized that we think very little about our lives, this film says to think more as life is very layered, in my opinion. Of course, everyone will interpret it differently, but it should be thought about after watching.

If you ask, "how can acting stand out with this technique?", they stand out very well. The voices of the actors in every frame seem as if they were created specifically for that dialogue, and the distant music in some scenes was the same.

Rinklater has gained my extreme respect because he showed me something truly amazing. This is not a film to be watched once and never again; it is a work that can be watched repeatedly, constantly and is something I admire.

Also, he made it with a very low budget, and he is giving us a pure otherworldly idea, I don't know how else to describe it. I won't give examples of individual scenes because each scene is so subjective that everyone should watch and come up with their own interpretation. This review is from an ordinary viewer who is extremely impressed and watches a lot of movies; I am looking at 2023, and the number of these types of movies is dwindling, hopefully the number of these types of films will increase.

WATCH THIS MOST INQUISITIVE, DEEP, AND SIMULTANEOUSLY EXHAUSTING MASTERPIECE OF A FILM AND MAKE OTHERS WATCH IT TOO.

Note: This is definitely a tiring film, it should be watched by pausing and with full concentration.
