Waking Life Audience Reviews 1es15

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
issawnedic There was a post in Facebook about real Van Gogh paintings coming alive as a movie. I responded how this movie was similar to the animation. I watched it on cable when I was 10. Back then HBO likes to show movies over and over and over and everytime I see it by chance, I watched it. I was so captivated by it. But, I never got to start it! I never knew the title, nor the beginning of the movie. Thankfully that random stranger on Facebook knew which movie I was talking about. Then and there I bought a digital copy on Amazon. I was so happy! When I was 10 I never really understood everything, I probably don't even know anything about drugs then but I was very familiar with lucid dreams. When the movie Inception came out, I thought that movie sucked because this movie was THE dream in a dream in a dream movie. When I saw the comments, and reviews, man.. these people probably never saw the coming of superhero movies. Lol. Now it's all heroes, and galaxies, comics.. I wish another movie like this comes out soon now that I'm an adult!
danielgrabowy Brilliant film. I do feel like only certain people will enjoy it though. If you are a lucid dreamer or if you have contemplated the meaning of existence for some time, this may be for you.In my opinion the entire film is quoteworthy and also it is one of the few films that I'd easily watch directly again after just having watched it. Technique, music, idea, narrators, filmography, all simply fits. This film is a masterpiece!
Anthony Yacobozzi Remind me to tell you about that dream i had last night.. there is something about animation that keeps me attached for more than 15 minutes... i always wondered about rem sleep and the meaning of.. I am alive and not in the waiting room.. keep work like this coming. Keep dreamingRegardsA
pace-26-206457 I saw this movie for the first time in 2006, I recently watched it again in 2014 and still think I have many more viewings to go.Its just a beautiful story held together with the most amazing interactions and dialogue. This truly is a movie that will open a persons mind and let a little glimpse of something else in. Its very rare for me to actually enjoy a movie these days, everything seems to be over the top special effects and animation with no story.Im happy to say this is refreshingly the other way around... Watch this movie with a t in hand and good friends... There will be conversation until well after the credits...
