hate to break it to you linklater... I've been awake for a while now and to be honest, we have yet to progress as a society due to greed and corruption. but hey, it was a nice conversation to have listened!
in all seriousness, this felt more like an extension of the "before" series where it's mostly about philosophical ideas and rambles with no "real" direction. more of a "projection piece" if you will.
however, I do find it enjoyable than say listening to ethan hawke come off as pretentious to a french girl on a holiday for an hour plus.
a bit of a jaw dropping moment is seeing the context of the man burning himself, similar as to what had occured in recent years (rip Aaron Bushnell), crazy "life intimidates art" moment. the alex jones cameo of him being like "break the system, fuck the goverment" meanwhile the man is a propaganda machine in the real world is so bizzare.
i'd like to rewatch this at some point to get a better grasp of this film, yet I feel as though I appreciated the ideas it was going for. though I do think "A Scanner Darkly" is the better project of which I'd prefer.
one last thing, curious as to why this isn't talked as much & what were people thinking when this had released in theaters. though I'd like to watch this in theaters to possibly hear the things people would say about this.
