This movie, ahem, how should I say it, it is very clear that the protagonist expressed the desire in the protagonist's heart when he was playing with his childhood sweethearts when he was a child: "desire to dream"
and then, I don't know if he was in a dream or awake, he started On the road, listen to all kinds of passers-by about their views on reality (either extreme or rational), and they are full of different degrees of desire for dreams. As for those incomprehensible narratives, if you understand them carefully, everyone has been thinking since childhood. , such as the growth of man, the wonderful point of the existence of this creature, or the anger of human beings, against the country, against tyranny.
The protagonist has a turning point in the second half. In the first half, he pays attention to listening. In the second half, he starts a dialogue with punk, about people more inclined to feel their reality in dreams or reality.
There is nothing incomprehensible about the whole film. How can I look happier? In the face of constantly shaking scenes, it is better to think of it as an English movie to exercise listening and reading comprehension

Waking Life quotes

  • Man on TV: A single ego is an absurdly narrow vantage from which to view this experience. And where most consider their individual relationship to the universe, I contemplate relationships of my various selves to one another.

  • Kim Krizan: Creation seems to come out of imperfection. It seems to come out of a striving and a frustration and this is where I think language came from. I mean, it came from our desire to transcend our isolation and have some sort of connection with one another. And it had to be easy when it was just simple survival. Like you know, "water." We came up with a sound for that. Or saber tooth tiger right behind you. We came up with a sound for that. But when it gets really interesting I think is when we use that same system of symbols to communicate all the abstract and intangible things that we're experiencing. What is like... frustration? Or what is anger or love? When I say love, the sound comes out of my mouth and it hits the other person's ear, travels through this byzantine conduit in their brain through their memories of love or lack of love, and they register what I'm saying and they say yes, they understand. But how do I know they understand? Because words are inert. They're just symbols. They're dead, you know? And so much of our experience is intangible. So much of what we perceive cannot be expressed. It's unspeakable. And yet you know, when we communicate with one another and we feel that we have connected and we think that we're understood I think we have a feeling of almost spiritual communion. And that feeling might be transient, but I think it's what we live for.
