an incredibly insightful and dare film that work on so many level that my friend and i be still talk about it and go whoa . the dialog be impeccable and the acting and directing be brilliant and the premise be a very funny testimony to our current paradigm shift in consciousness . it begin a a movie about a man who believe his life itself be a movie and and that he have a responsibility to live it very deliberately and offer all the drama and nuance that we and his audience and deserve to see . without bore or offend . while the people around him be convince that he be crazy and we be not so sure and because after all and we be watch his movie and aren not we . the writer or director who discuss his movie after the screening at the ashland film festival and say he make this movie base on his own experience make movie . and while it pay a hilarious tribute to the process of film make i think it go even deep . the very nature of perform for an imaginary audience invoke the same question pose by such movie a matrix and even the holodeck on star trek and where we realize that we be the direct creator of our own reality . we be the writer and director and producer of our own life movie and which help u out of the victim role and into the creator mindset . and yet and for all our omnipotence and freewill and life create in a vacuum and without feedback or accountability and be meaningless . do or be just for it own sake feel empty and so we must have a more tangible reason for do the thing we do . hence our audience ( or high power and or inner critic or what have you ) that help u be more aware of and deliberate in our life choice . make u want to become the hero instead of the villain or the loser who get dump in the end . so here we be and watch a movie about a guy want to create a meaningful movie ( ie represent life ) for u and his audience and who be watch a movie create by a guy ( the director ) who want to create a meaningful movie for u and his audience and who will hopefully leave the theater want to create a meaningful movie of our own life . so a not disappoint our inner audience . whoa .
