Okay, so the other day I was really in the mood for some trippy, thought-provoking movies. You know, the kind that make you question everything? I remembered loving “Waking Life” back in the day, so I decided to find some films similar to it. Here’s how I went about it:
The Search Begins
First, I just straight-up Googled “movies similar to Waking Life”. I mean, that’s the obvious first step, right? This gave me a bunch of initial suggestions, some I’d seen, some I hadn’t.
Diving Deeper
I spent a few minutes just browsing, clicking around, and, honestly, watching, I mean, glancing through, the videos I could find. I love seeing what other movie buffs recommend, and forums are great for finding hidden gems. There are so many movies that I’ve never heard of. I jotted down a few titles that seemed promising.
Filtering Down
Then came the “hard” part – narrowing it down. I wasn’t in the mood for, I don’t know, something too heavy or intense. I was aiming for that dreamy, philosophical vibe of “Waking Life”. So, I went through my list and looked at:
- Animation Style: Did it have that cool, rotoscoped look, or something similar?
- Themes: Was it about dreams, reality, philosophy, consciousness?
- Overall Mood: Did the trailers and descriptions make it sound, you know, weird in a good way?
My Final Picks (For Now!)
After all that digging, I think my list is pretty solid. Of course, I’ll be adding to it, this is not final, but, based on my experience and searches, I’d say these fit into the “Waking Life” similar movie’s type:
- One of the movies I watched was very similar in style.
- I had seen one of the movies, but had forgotten that it was pretty close.
- I had never heard of one of the movies, so that should be a good watch.
I’ve already watched one of them, and it was pretty spot-on! Now, I’m off to, research, I mean, watch some more movies. Gotta keep expanding those horizons, you know?
