Waking Life

There's no philosophical discussions going in here. This movie seems to be about sketches and super deep philosophical monologs. The animation is unlike anything I've seen though. From an animation perspective this makes for a really good movie.

No single movie has had a greater impact on my life. I've watched it dozens of times. It engaged my mind when I was struggling with teenage lows and it's re-inspired and tied together life experiences as I'm pushing 30. This is the first movie that perked me up and made me consider that there was actually something timeless and accessible that one could regard as Truth. Across myriad philosophical positions and political roller-coasting, the discussions and topics interwoven here create an artistic expression of the flow of ideas and the pursuit of that boundless and timeless truth. From end to end every speaker, if not many lines, you could dedicate a book to. The questions it raises I've spent hundreds of hours writing and thinking about. I look for the power of voice in everything I watch to in some way affect and root themselves in me like this movie has.
