Waking Life

Waking Life is an interesting film that I feel would work neither as singularly an animated film or just a live action motion picture. The style of the film fits brilliantly with its content: complex philosophies are made understandable through an excellent presentation, simple imagery and stories that any one can relate to. Another movie employing almost the same animation style that I recently saw was A Scanner Darkly, and the plot seemed like it had very little necessity for the animation style that it shared with Waking Life, and it was more of a distraction than what it did for Waking Life.
