About this product

Product Information

Director Richard Linklater presents this computer-animated, dreamlike, meandering film about a college-age man (Wiley Wiggins) who floats in and out of a series of philosophical discussions and ethereal experiences, meeting an interesting cast of characters along the way. Each character that Wiley meets engages him in an existential discussion. Wiley listens, observes, and occasionally responds. Then he glumly shuffles off to his next encounter. At times, he wakes up in his bed and rubs his eyes, appearing to start a new day. But eventually viewers learn that Wiley is dreaming throughout the film, and is trying to learn to control his dreams--and accomplish lucid dreaming, or simply wake up.Visually, WAKING LIFE is nothing short of fantastic. Linklater stays true to his Indie style--jerky camera, drifting gaze, and steady head shots that allow non-actors to talk straight into the camera. To achieve the floating feeling of the dream sequences, he first tried taking aerial shots from a helicopter, then opted for the smoother effect of a hot air balloon. He shot the film on digital video, edited it, then called on 30 animators to finish it. The characters in the film move and gesticulate like live action, but they are animated with odd color schemes and surreal lines that make them cartoony caricatures. WAKING LIFE is a superb work that should be applauded for its atmospheric elements (lovely images of New York and Austin), its amusing bohemian dialogues, and its unique animation.

"Mindwalk" for Generation Y by Jim Rue
In "Mindwalk" Liv Ullman and Sam Watterson explored the tiny French island of St. Michel while they pondered God, the meaning of life and all the rest. Similarly, in a series of animated vignettes "Waking Life" hashes over mans' connection to reality and the dream state, and by extension his connection to time and immortality. The 97-minute long film starts with a nonchalant young man, Wiley Wiggins, arriving in a new town and being met at the station by a man driving a boat/car. The driver delivers the first of a series of personal philosophies, this particular one a philosophy typical of a cab driver. The driver also delivers the protagonist to what is seemingly a random street corner where Wiley is apparently then hit by a car. The remainder of the film follows him through a sequence ...

The 97-minute long film starts with a nonchalant young man, Wiley Wiggins, arriving in a new town and being met at the station by a man driving a boat/car. The driver delivers the first of a series of personal philosophies, this particular one a philosophy typical of a cab driver. The driver also delivers the protagonist to what is seemingly a random street corner where Wiley is apparently then hit by a car. The remainder of the film follows him through a sequence of discussions that eventually lead him back to the same street corner. While 'story' is subsidiary to the sense of this modern tale, very realistic conversations between the players develop questions about the natures of dreaming and wakefulness, only to be subsequently exposed as dreams themselves. The Gordian knot cinches down tightly for the most part, as the protagonist becomes increasingly aware that he is dreaming and that 'waking up' only embarks him on yet another dream. An old technique of animation called rotoscoping is used throughout, optimized and assisted by Apple Macintosh software. In rotoscoping, live action is replaced, frame by frame, with hand-traced images. 'Waking Life' uses the technique well. Several dozen animators each leave an individual stamp on the film, and so when the dialogue between chaacters begins to flag, the visual variety of the film maintains interest and pushes the story forward. The movie covers a lot of ground, from absurdism and existentialism through Darwin, Giacometti and the book of Acts, but all of this serves to reinforce a flawed but positive design for living that fits Gen Y like a glove. "Waking Life" contains some of the same conversations to be found in "Mindwalk," "My Dinner with Andre" and "I (heart)Huccabees" but is enhanced by the continual morphing from acrylic to paint by numbers to watercolor to oil painting as 'rotoscoping' is interpreted by the thirty different animators who worked together on the film.

Philisophical...brilliant, but not for everyone.
I am a lover and collector of movies. In addition, I read/discuss/study a lot of philosophy. I felt that this movie was brlliant. Not only was the content mentally appealing, but the way the movie was filmed to coincide with the premises touched upon in the film. I said this movie was not for everyone because this was a dialogue-heavy movie and dispite the nuances that make it a great movie to watch, I don't think many people will be able to (or want to) see past the dialogue. This film is special in the respect that you can take a part of it, one dialogue, and examine it as a stand-alone concept, look at the movie as a whole, or look at the movie as the sun of it's parts and you still will come out with an exceptional work. I feel that this movie is a must see.I am a lover and collector of movies. In addition, I read/discuss/study a lot of philosophy. I felt that this movie was brlliant.

Waking Life
Highly Informational DVD. Thought provoking and inspiring. I had originally watched the DVD via a friend whom though I might enjoy it. I watched it over 10 times during the week I had borrowed it. By the time I returned it, I had already gotten on Ebay and found a copy of my own (and for WAY cheap!). The movie is split into many different sections focusing on a variety of subjects and perceptions, yet with a solid flowing thought. This makes it very easy re-watch individual sections without getting 'lost'. My DVD came in the mail rather quickly. It was a brand new copy still in the packaging (which was very important to me since my DVD player is so old and will not even concider playing anything with scratches). I highly recommend the purchase of this DVD. Also, if for some reason you ... Highly Informational DVD. Thought provoking and inspiring.

Surreal exploration of real concepts.
Firstly and most obviously, the animation this feature employs, rotoscoping, is delightfully appropriate for the subject matter. It reinforces the dream-quality of each scene, adding a very mercurial aspect to the visual imagery. The bright colors, the contiuously moving backgrounds and details, these all perfectly imitate the unstable nature of subconscious experiences. Secondly, the musical scoring couldn't be more perfect. The moody and vibrant textures the Tosca Tango Orchestra so masterfully produce accentuate the film so flawlessly, you could almost guess that the movie was made to accompany the music. Including the Orchestra in a scene was a brilliant maneuver, as it reinforces the talent the musicians exhibit, and generating an unusual relationship with the viewer as well. ...

Third, the actual concepts addressed, and the manner in which they are presented, are invigorating and thought provoking. Myriad theories regarding the nature of fundamental consensual and individual realites are explored by "real world" philosophers, scientists, and other theorists. Many of whom have achieved accolades within their respective fields. The human social condition, the individual's reaction to stress and overwhelming powerlessness, the potential future of mankind's existence, the nature of death, all of these are powerfully examined and expressed, often with lighthearted anecdotes. Truly a masterful confrontation with the world both inside and outside of the human soul.

Waking Life --- woke me up
A wonderful, thought provoking, and inspiring film. The main character played by Willey Wiggins also stared in Linklaters 'Dazed and Confused'. Filmed live action first and then completely animated to create a visual trip of an experience. Lots of interesting characters along the way including Alex Jones, Timothy Speed Levitch, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy (reprising their roles from 'Before Sunrise' and before their sequel) and dozens more. I will be buying a copy to watch over and over. Too much to digest in one viewing.A wonderful, thought provoking, and inspiring film.
