Some say that both the wolf and Niam died at the end of the credits.

Interesting fact (this applies to U.S.): Did you know that if you broke out of prison to prove your innocence and succeeded, you would still go back to prison because breaking out of prison is a Federal Offense?

After the credits it showed the wolf that Liam Neeson fought lying on the ground as if dying, but there were like 6 more of them, he couldn't have killed them all.

Yup. They don't guarantee justice, just due process.

It's a film that everyone tells me I need to see whenever I mention my interest in philosophy, so I finally sat down and saw it on Netflix. Overall, I thought it was a very good film; the level of philosophical sophistication is better than I've come to expect from movies in general, with a couple caveats.

 

The basic premise is that an unnamed protagonist finds himself in various philosophical conversations with a variety of figures, often real-life philosophers, poets, theorists, filmmakers, etc. Between each conversation, the protagonists wakes up only to later find out that he's still within some kind of dream, eventually to the point where he begins to wonder if he is in fact dead. Leisurely paced but consistently engaging, Waking Life seems more interested in being a soundboard for various ideas rather than in advancing its own agenda.

 

The "What if it's all a dream?" scenario is frequently traced to Descartes, but this film takes the conceit of dreaming and runs with it in different directions that Descartes or most other philosophers never would have bothered with. For the skeptic, what matters is simply that we're considering a hypothesis consistent with our sensory evidence but inconsistent with what we take ourselves to know about the outside world (i.e. 'brains in a vat,' 'the Matrix,' or even Descartes' own favorite: massive deception by an evil omnipotent being). So unlike the movie, the skeptic will be largely uninterested in the particulars of lucid dreaming and other phenomena. Not that that's really a strike against the film, just a difference in perspective.

 

My only real complaint about Waking Life is that sometimes you get a 'credibility-by-association' effect when obviously bonkers ideas get juxtaposed with more substantive discussion. For instance, the pseudo-scientific ideas of parapsychologist Rupert Sheldrake and David Sosa's clear-headed musings on free will are just not on the same level IMO, but the lay audience would not know that by watching this film. Other than that, the film gets a strong recommend from me.

We finally got Guardians of the Galaxy here.

 

Definitely some laugh-out-loud moments in that one!

[Just My Moniker]

Great movie 

 

(Out of those directors I pick Peter Jackson, Tim Burton, and Steven Spielberg)

[FraQ]

Loved this flick!

@osbornep, That must be an interesting movie. I hope there are good actors that act as the important philosophy figures.

 

Voted for Alfred Hitchcock.

 

I think you forgot to vote.

Actually, a fair amount of the characters are played by actual academics: the chemist Eamonn Healy, philosophers David Sosa, Louis Mackey and Robert C. Solomon, filmmaker Caveh Zahedi, etc. Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, who play the main couple in Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise/Before Sunset/Before Midnight trilogy, also make cameo appearances in the film.

It's pretty poopy.  The first one is the best, by far.

[mybudgee]

Scorsese's the Aviator... Pretty underwhelming other than Cate Blanchett

[Spectre slayer]

Watched a bunch of movies over the last few days.



It was fairly good, a bit boring though. 6.5/10



It was good. 7/10



I was really disappointed it was a realy bad movie, bad cinematography and fight choreography, Jaa and Yanin both used wires and cgi ( unlike his other movies), not many good fights, bad acting, bad special affects, cheesy and badly handled 3d and slow downs. 4.5/10

^ The perfect way of posting in this thread.

 

The new Godzilla movie... or to put it more accurately.

 

People doing people stuff with Godzilla in it.

 

God it sucked.

 

Mostly because I wanted to see Godzilla more than "human drama."

 

I've got a bunch of other better movies to watch about that.

 

Where's my freaking monster?!

 

Human Drama > Godzilla

jk lol

Trust me. In terms of Godzilla movies you can do alot worse.

The 1998 film is certainly a good example.

As is Godzilla's Revenge.

 

So I disagree.

Trust me. I'm a bit of an educated expert.

Pretend that second copy of Godzilla 2000 is Cloverfield...
