This is a groundbreaking film. It was done by one of my favorite directors, Richard Linklater, who is the ultimate 90's generation X director. The whole movie exists somewhere on the verge of dream and reality, it was acted out by real people but then made into a cartoon, and you never know if the main character is awake or dreaming, as he interacts with various people explaining their unique philosophies on life.

It's next on my Nextflix. I'll check it out after I see the documentary called, "Street Fight"

Come back to this thread when you finish watching it. I want to see what you think. It could inspire you and make you view reality in much bigger way.

That really was a mindfuck. Plenty of points in the movie made me go, "Wow!"
Here's a good example
"Exactly. I heard that Tim Leary said as he was dying that he was looking forward to the moment when his body was dead but his brain was still alive. You know they say that there's still six to twelve minutes of brain activity after everything else is shutdown. And a second of dream consciousness, right, well, that's infinitely longer than a waking second. You know what I'm saying?
Oh, yeah, definitely. For example, I wake up and it is 10:12, and then I go back to sleep and I have those long, intricate, beautiful dreams that seem to last for hours, and then I wake up and it's ... 10:13.
Yeah, exactly. So then six to twelve minutes of brain activity, I mean, that could be your whole life. I mean, you are that woman looking back over everything. "
