Waking Life (2001)
4/10
Smart cocktail party nonsense.
18 April 2007
When I saw this film all I could picture was a bunch of stuck up yuppies with ponytails and those glasses that pseudo-intellectuals wear sitting around drinking snooty wine discussing this film and the hidden meaning behind it.

It is one of those types of films. If you're a realistic person you'll see that this film was actually written by a hippie on drugs. In fact this film was recommended to me by someone that is the quintessential hippie and they said i'd love it. I'll say I understood every concept in it but I far from loved it.

I don't need to understand this film to know I'm a smart person. However I'm not an intellectual as many like to think they are. I know the difference between pretentious nonsense and what is worth learning and experiencing.

This film is pretentious nonsense. An intellectual would have you think this film is a must. I say if you're truly smart, you'll see through this films disjointed, surreal ideas and know that basically it's just a bunch of people blabbing about nothing hoping you'll think they have something important to say.
