We're watching Waking Life in philosophy right now. If you're into philosophical questions and answers, you should definately see if you can find it.
The whole point of the movie is to look at (among innumerable other things) is "Are we sleep-walking through waking life, or wake-walking through sleeping life?"
The movie was filmed with a digital camera, then a team of artists created artwork over the film. As well as looking amazing anyways, they often put things in the film that accentuate what is being said at the time.
Waking Life revolves around an unnamed man who is presumably in his early twenties. He goes around, jumping from scene to scene, and from conversation to conversation. We never know what he is dreaming or what is real. Each conversation is with someone who is, in actuality, just talking about their most passionate philosophical subject (most is unscripted). Each conversation is filled with profound ideas and theories that make you question both what's happening in the movie and in your own life.
The movie might (will) seem extremely confusing at first. However, once you get used to the style, it's simply amazing.
We're finishing the movie tomorrow, and I hope to find somewhere that carries it to buy it on Sunday (or perhaps I'll wait until next week, depending on my work load).
Has anyone else seen this?

And he can't understand how everyone goes on breathing when true love ends, his mother whispers quietly... heaven's not a place that you go when you die, it's that moment in life when you actually feel alive

Definately the best movie you will ever watch in class.
But be prepared for the people in your class to say things like "That's stupid." "It doesn't make any sense." "I don't get it." "Can we stop watching this?" etc...

This is an unofficial site. It's really good if you want to read some of the conversations. Take a look at it too, but ignore the site-owner's "Two Cents":

"The white dove is gone, the one world has come down hard, so why not share the pain of our problems, when all around are wrong ways, when all around is hurt, i'll roll up in an odd shape and wait, untill the tide has turned.....with anger, i'm dead weight, i'm anchored"- IME, God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas) ^ Some say this song is about a terrorists thoughts before 911

I felt it in the wind, and i saw it in the sky, i thought it was the end, i thought it was the 4th of July.
