Plot in inner time consciousness

Why is it called "internal time awareness"? In fact, it is very improper to put this term here. After studying it, I have become a sinner and juggler of phenomenology.
But it does not exist in "waking life"—even if it exists, it is cleverly concealed—normal time. The protagonist has been wandering, and the picture has been wandering. The audience is lured into the trap of language texture: only language, a huge and seemingly chaotic large monologue, can be grasped by the audience-even if it is messy, it does not break away from the grammar , And in the plot and picture, we can even say that the whole film is a fragmented conjecture. Is this the director's malice or purpose?
Perhaps the director also hopes that the audience will give up the plot and devote all their energy to Zhuang Zhidie's Zen machine. He doesn’t have this need at all. People who are willing to spend time watching the film twice or three times don’t care about the bullshit plot at all. Such people are paranoid, otherwise they would rather find a tango record and listen to it (by the way, The background music is appropriately selected tango that can highlight fatigue, tension, worry and trying to grasp a trace of rational emotions, which is great).

    In reality I shouted: Life is not a dream, be aware, be aware, and be aware! In the dream I rolled over and went back to sleep.

    The upgraded version of the debut novel, the lecture notes on self-concept can be copied everywhere, but if the protagonist is really looking for himself in his dreams, it cannot be copied, and it is getting better. Contrasting form: one piece for more than a dozen styles of painting emphasizes block surfaces and hand-painted lines, which reflects the necessity of hand-painting on photographic materials. Although the long-haired brother only starred in two of his films, they were the two most squeamish. The director is very skilled.

Waking Life quotes

  • Eamonn Healy: For looking at the highlights of human development, you have to look at the evolution of the organism, and then at the development of its interaction with the environment. Evolution of the organism will begin with the evolution of life, proceed through the hominid, coming to the evolution of mankind. Neanderthal, Cro-magnon man. Now interestingly, what you are looking at here are three strings: Biological, Anthropological, development of cities, cultures, and Cultural, which is human expression. Now, what you've seen here is the evolution of populations, not so much the evolution of individuals. And in addition, if you look at the time scales that's involved here, two billion years for life, six million years for the hominid, 100,000 years for mankind as we know it, you begin to see the telescoping nature of the evolutionary paradigm. And then, when you get to agriculture, when you get to scientific revolution and industrial revolution, you're looking at 10,000 years, 400 years, 150 years. You've seen a further telescoping of this evolutionary time. What that means is as we go through the new evolution, it's going to telescope to the point we should be able to see it manifest itself within our lifetime, within a generation. The new evolution stems from information, and it stems from two types of information: Digital and Analog. Digital is artificial intelligence. The analog results from molecular biology, the cloning of the organism, and you knit the two together with neurobiology. Before, under the old evolutionary paradigm, one would die, and the other would grow and dominate, but under the new paradigm, they would exist as a mutually supportive, non-competitive grouping, independent from the external. And what is interesting here is that evolution now becomes an individually centered process emanating from the needs and the desires of the individual, and not an external process, a passive process where the individual is just at the whim of the collective. So, you produce a neo-human, okay, with a new individuality, and new consciousness, But that's only the beginning of the evolutionary cycle because as the next cycle proceeds, the input is now this new intelligence. As intelligence piles on intelligence, as ability piles on ability, the speed changes, until what? Until you reach a crescendo. In a way, it could be imagined as an almost instantaneous fulfillment of human, human and neo-human potential. It could be something totally different. It could be the amplification of the individual, the multiplication of individual existences, parallel existences, now, with the individual no longer restricted by time and space. And the manifestations of this neo-human-type evolution, manifestations could be dramatically counterintuitive. That's the interesting part. The old evolution is cold, it's sterile, it's efficient, and its manifestations are those of social adaptation. You're talking about parasitism, dominance, morality, war, predation. These will be subject to de-emphasis. These will be subject to de-evolution. The new evolutionary paradigm would give us the human traits of truth, of loyalty, of justice, of freedom. These would the manifestations of the new evolution. And that is what we would hope to see from this. That'd be nice.

  • Burning Man: Man wants chaos. In fact, he's got to have it. Depression, strife, riots, murder. All this dread. We're irresistibly drawn to that almost orgiastic state created out of death and destruction. It's in all of us. We revel in it. Sure, the media tries to put a sad face on these things, painting them up as great human tragedies; but we all know the function of the media has never been to eliminate the evils of the world, no! Their job is to persuade us to accept those evils and get used to living with them. The powers that be want us to be passive observers. Hey, you got a match? And they haven't given us any other options outside the occasional, purely symbolic, participatory act of voting. "You want the puppet on the right, or the puppet on the left?" I feel the time has come to project my own inadequacies and dissatisfaction into the sociopolitical and scientific schemes. Let my own lack of a voice be heard.
