Contol It (Week 11)

Watching Waking Life is a disconcerting and exhilarating experience. It's relentless ontological pursuits are exciting in the way going beyond your comfort-level speed, down a hill, on a bike is. All this and it's just dialogue. It's hyper real quality, in both it's ambiguous portrayal of the character's journey (is he dead?) and the rotoscoped imagery, help undermine your sense of self-assurance in your own reality. It highlights certain issues of controlling powers be they, bio power or cultural forces, yet with the existentialist and the megaphone man offers a positive message that you should live your life aware the forces exist but not let them bring you down, live life like you have control.
