As I said before, I've decided to do my critical analysis paper on the movie "Waking Life." At first, I just knew I wanted to analyze the movie, but I didn't exactly know what about it I wanted to analyze. At first I thought about comparing the themes in the movie to different religions, as well as the theories of existentialism, which plays a huge role in the movie. Finally I decided that I want to analyze the use of symbols throughout the movie, and the effect that the use of rotoscope animation has on the film.

  To be completely honest, I didn't like the last paper we had to write for class. It was difficult for me, because I couldn't think of anything to write. However, I'm kind of excited for our critical analysis paper. I already know what I want to write about.
  I want to write an analysis of the movie "Waking Life." It's a really interesting documentary about a man who is stuck inside a lucid dream. This means he is dreaming, and knows that he is dreaming. The whole movie is him stuck inside this dream, going around having philosophical conversations with random dream characters, and trying to figure out why he can't wake up. I don't know what aspect of the movie I want to analyze yet, but I'm glad to have at least figured out what I want to write it about.
