Well |
|
I tried to watch it awhile ago but never really got into it. |
|
Yea, I've seen it. I rather liked it. I guess I'm one of the few people who haven't fallen asleep during it or found it boring. |
|
Bollocks.
I saw Vanilla Sky in theaters. So not a date movie. Gave me a headache. |
|
Both Vanilla Sky and Waking Life are pretty amazing movies. |

Vanilla Sky wasn't that great, in my opinion. |
|
I ♥ DREAMVIEWS. I always have, and I always will. There is nothing else to it.

Ditto on "What Dreams May Come". |

Just finished watching "Waking Life". It had alot of cool philosophical ideas, but it was very slow. I personally never have had deep conversation in my Lucid Dreams, so I really didn't connect with the movie. It seemed more like the director had only researched Lucid Dreaming, opposed to actually doing it himself. It was ok, but could have been better I guess. It is set up more like a hybrid documentary and I'm just not into that. |

Abre Los Ojos is like the complete opposite of a chick flick. I <3 it. |

Thanks so much for posting that link! I really enjoyed this movie. A friend mentioned to me that this was really good and I've been meaning to check it out. I didn't even know it was about lucid dreams. |

What Dreams may come (film) was pretty cool, i enjoyed it very much and with those special effects.., though it's not literally about dreaming, there are references to it; going to get the book soon. About waking life when I first watched it, 4 years ago, i hated it, last year i decided to watch it again and I liked it. |

IMO the original is so much better. The American remake is glamourized, Abre Los Ojos has this filming that is done in sort of a more realistic, harsher manner that just makes the movie so much better. And a lot of stupid little things were changed between the movies to change the character of Ceasar, imo, for the worse. Definitely at least watch the original before you try Vanilla Sky is my advice. Appreciate it as you should, then go to the easier English version... otherwise, as typically happens, the clean-cut English American remake is preferred simply because you don't have to read the subtitles and not because it approaches the level of the first |

Meh, 20 minutes in, constant metaphors, opinions, and random peoples blatherings. |
|
The movie itself isn't entirely about LD'ing but it is a part of it. It's deeper than that, and I'll leave it at that because describing the movie with justice would take up a whole page plus. BTW can you believe this came from the Dazed and Confused guy. To quote a famous cool guy, "Alright alright alright." Both great movies from the same mind. |

Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead...only try to realize the truth. There is no spoon. Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.
Oh, you reminded me of how much I want to see the original! I really do love Vanilla Sky, though, and although people give Tom Cruise a lot of stick, I thought he did an amazing job. My friend tried to get me to watch Waking Life once, but I never really got into it. |

Yea you hear of so many people who don't like him because of scientology or whatever... I couldn't care less. I decide whether or not I like an actor based on how good of a job I think they did acting... I don't think it's the acting in Vanilla Sky, I just dislike the movie since I feel the original did such a better job. Lots of people disagree with me though, different strokes for different folks I suppose. |

I realize that there is more to the movie than just lucid dreaming, but if I had to describe it to a friend or something I would just say "it's about some dude trapped in a persistent lucid-dream state" or something. It seems like that was the main plot anyway. |
