Waking Life


"The trick is to combine your waking rational abilities with the infinite possibilities of your dreams. Because, if you can do that, you can do anything."

Bits and pieces of 'theory' talks. Reminds 'Coffee and Cigarettes'...


Waking Life : A Scanner Darkly :: Existenz : The Matrix


Caveh seems to pop up everywhere. First there's I'm a Sex Addict
(well, okay...I agree. It's not a coincidence that he's in this one...) which incidentally kinda feels like an over-narrated movie (? if we can call it a movie) about seemingly simple things and then there's Citizen Ruth where out of the blue he's got a cameo role(along with a bunch of other 'stars' that you wouldn't expect to pop up) but the movie itself is timeless though...being in a 'Red' state it's just so funny to watch the two sides haggle on pro-life/choice completely sidelining the individual; and then Waking life's got a role for him again....may be it's coincidence. Just like the way I ended up watching all pro-euthanasia movies in a row...'The Barbarian Invasions', 'The Sea Inside', 'Million Dollar Baby' etc (hey wait a minute...they've all won oscars...Wanna Kill urself?? Go For It!!).
