That was a really good movie, thank you for mentioning it. Absolutly not an exercise in madness. Much rather a fairly accurate portail of thinking life.
Doing life is of course not completly seperate, but this movie was only about thought and perception and abstraction. Every day life is a lot about doing stuff. The movie did not conver that.
As thinking is jumping as much as dreaming is, it makes a lot of sense to me and does not seem mad at all

You mean you saw the movie coming? Oddly enough, when I read the bible I had the same feeling. It was like I knew things I shouldn't before I read them in the story. I did not grow up in a religios setting at all, the only person that prayed with me was my grandmother, and this was when I was very young.
Perhaps subcociously I new more than I was aware of. Maybe the same thing applies to you? What do you think?
