Waking Life


Waking Life is a computer- animated movie, that was released on the 17th of October 2001, directed by Richard Linklater and screen written, produced by Anne Walker-McKay, Jonah Smith ; composed by Glover Hill and produced by Tommy Pallotta. This movie talks about a college guy who dream while he is awake about philosophical discussions and ethereal experiences meeting with characters along the way that are principles roles of his dream, they discuss together and listen and observe and respond.. Viewers learn eventually that each day whenever he wakes up in bed, appearing to start a new day, he is just dreaming but knowing that he is dreaming and trying to control his own dreams. Waking life, was shot on a digital video cam, edited and then finished by 30 animators. Everything in this movie is amazing in my opinion, the colors, the characters how they are drown, the story, the lighting, the shooting, everything is unique especially the amusing dialogues.

i recall the first time i got a glimpse of the movie, i was just switching tv channels and i saw this animation movie, suddenly a"normal" movie, i really couldn't get what was going on in the movie,well i didn't until the second time.
the thing that really got me the 1st time i watched the movie was comparing the evolution of einstien's brain to a normal being to that of a normal being to a chimpanzee... brilliant!!
