Ten minutes ago, I entered a dream...via the TV remote and Independent Film Channel. So...while utter and completely transfixed, I saw the last ten minutes of bloody brilliance in 'Waking Life'. AND - the tango music interlaced throughout is based on scores of the master - Astor Piazzolla.
Got 98 minutes?
TV info: A young vagabond listens to such varied subjects as existentialism, evolution, alienation, dreaming and the media. (Rated R)
Here, you can see a worthy review and fascinating info on the making of a masterpiece.

In the sixty-first minute, the essence of it all is presented when a group of young men comes upon an 'old man' up on and clinging to a power pole, asking him if he needed help getting down.
They walk away, one muttering, "He's all action with no theory; we're all theory (prior to this moment, there had been a litany of philosophical exchange) and no action."
Did they not perceive that the old man's action WAS the result of testing out a theory? Another generational gap between newbies armed with historic philosophy, shallowly seeking to find a reality to fit.
Reminds me of college--where I thought many of these thoughts, and sought someone with whom to spend a life vetting all this.
