This is a reading of the film Waking Life (2001) in the framework of the Indic philosophy of ‘Vedanta,’ more specifically the ‘Advaita’ or the non-dual school of Vedanta. The film’s narrative is constructed out of the protagonist’s dreamscapes. The itinerant protagonist moves through conversations within his dreams, trying to make sense of his ‘wake walking’ situation. These conversations take the form of a more significant philosophical reflection upon the conscious life of humans. In this paper, I analyze some of these conversations and discussions from the Advaita point of view to affirm the film’s orientation towards a spiritual and metaphysical reflection on human life.

醒来(做梦):对理查德林克莱特清醒生活的吠檀多反思

这是在印度“吠檀多”哲学(更具体地说是“Advaita”或吠檀多的非二元学派的框架内阅读电影《唤醒生活》(2001)。这部电影的叙事是由主人公的梦境构成的。流动的主角在他的梦境中进行对话,试图弄清他“醒着走路”的情况。这些对话采取了对人类有意识生活的更重要的哲学反思的形式。在本文中,我从 Advaita 的角度分析了其中的一些对话和讨论,以肯定这部电影对人类生活的精神和形而上学反思的定位。
