Waking Life

At first I thought this movie was really pretentious… I didn’t want to be preached to… but, the movie grew on me as it progressed. It’s really a bunch of short clips of people musing / philosophising on aspects of life & reality & the state of man, etc. The animation was really interesting, for me, it made the movie more dreamlike, and although at first it was a distraction (it made it difficult to follow the dialog), I think later it accented the dialog in a way that would have been impossible otherwise… much the way black and white is sometimes better than color.
