Waking Life - 7

This is a film about the dream life and the waking life. What do dreams tell us about ourselves and the world we live in? A question that runs as a theme through out the film. The first part of the film involves a lot of disconnected conversations about many different theories of the universe and the role of language, art, and science in our understanding of ourselves and the world. Closer to the end, things start to get explained as the main character, the dreamer, begins to ask questions and discuss the issues he is confronted with. If you want to watch a film that tackles the real question of the meaning of life, this is the one to watch. It doesn't give answers in the pragmatic American way, but rather allows the viewer to learn to ask the right questions and to seek out a true way of knowing.
