Dark City - deals with memory and reality, as in what if your memories were implanted? |

I think it's quite interesting that more than half of my favourite movies of all time are deeply philosophical, often with existentialist undertones... I love the serene, introspective feeling you get from them. I thought I'd start up this thread to get some philosophical discussion going and hopefully find some new favourites; don't hold back if it's not strictly related to philosophy though. Here's mine; |

"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." -Einstein
If you think The Matrix was really about simulated reality, you missed the point. |

Starry starry night, paint your pallet blue and gray,
Look out on a summers day,
with eyes that know the darkness of my soul.
I've heard those two mentioned here and there... I'll try to find them. |

Elaborate ffs? |

Don't forget The Cube (1969) by Jim Henson. (There are a bunch of them on google video.) |

Donnie Darko was a little too religious for me. |

Slacker. It's similar to waking life, but it isn't about lucid dreaming and it isn't squigglemation. Pretty much all of Linklaters work has some philosophy in it. |

157 is a prime number. The next prime is 163 and the previous prime is 151, which with 157 form a sexy prime triplet. Taking the arithmetic mean of those primes yields 157, thus it is a balanced prime.

The parallels behind The Matrix and many other analogous forms of control are practically limitless. I agree that it's not only about the simulated world vs. physical world the rebels fought for. What I don't see is why the OP's posting it on this list means he "missed the point." I don't see him go into his interpretation of the Matrix at all. All I see is that he notes it as a philosophical film which (regardless of what you believe the particular subject - which is being analogized - to be), is pretty much correct. It is a very philosophical film. |
