Book excerpt: Transcending the boundaries of technology and imagination, "Waking Life" is a revolutionary breakthrough in film animation - now as a graphic novel. In "Waking Life," Wiley Wiggins ("Dazed and Confused") travels through a series of encounters and observations in a world that may or may not be reality. It is this surreal existence, flourishing with endless ideas and possibilities, that ultimately leads to the question - Are we sleep-walking through our waking state or wake-walking through our dreams? By the way, this project is an art experiment attempt to turn a cult movie into a comic book, because Waking Life is the first great film work that combines pioneering rotoscoping with sophisticated and deep philosophical content, a difficult journey to accompany in the movie to those who are not accustomed. At least in comic book format, we can read and digest all those fantastic ideas more slowly and unhurriedly. Good reading.
