just saw last week... definitely had to pay more attention than I had expected... i guess i thought it was good but none of the philosophical ramblings were really anything new to me and they really didn't do the greatest job of explaining their discussion of life as a waking dream vs. dreams as waking life... didn't get into enough detail as to the actual point of the movie i guess.

it was good but definitely not four star material - best part was when the guy lit himself on fire...

but now i can't watch it again cause some jerk decided to jack it

This movie is SOOOOO trippy!!!!! Seriously...it's almost scary. I love it. First time I watched it I was baked, and all I looked at was the visuals. I had to see it twice to understand it, like mugsy said. It's pretty intense.

sucks, one of the worst films i've seen. the animation gets tired and the 'philosophy' is pretty contrived.

go hang out with some dumb stoners for an hour and ask them to 'solve the universe'.

lol ohhh come on worst flim u seen ^^

Okay, I own this movie. I agree that a lot of the philosophical ramblings in it are nothing new, but most of them are pretty interesting. Also, if there is a character or a philosophy that you don't like or find boring, you can just zone out and watch the cool visuals. My favourite person was the one talking about how we're just ants running around without really interacting with anyone. I mean, it's something we've heard before, but it's presented in a new way. Gotta give them props for that.

i love this movie.

the first time i saw it, i didn't realize the context of the film.

the main character has DIED. so, the whole time he is wandering around talking to people, he is dreaming.
the human mind stays alive for a few minutes after the body dies. the whole point of the movie is, if you died all the sudden, would you know it, or would you just keep dreaming like you were asleep?

thats why he couldn;t wake up. its the characters last few minutes of brain activity. then he dies.

cool, eh?

that's cool ^^ i never thought of it that way.

One of my fav movies - up with "Spirited away" and "Serial Experiments: Lain" (granted its a series not a movie) for philosphical content and general warm and fuzzies.

It's just one of those movies everyone should own. Watch 1000 times, and quote every minute.
Like half baked.

they explecitely state this halfway through the movie and talk about it for some time, by the end he's basically just trying to figure out if he's dead... i don't think you were paying attention.
