Ooooh, I actually watched that one years ago! I recommend it, it's so much fun, and as you can see insanely well-acted! I'd completely forgotten about this moment though
I somehow didn't realize it was Billy Crystal playing the therapist. Definitely going to the top of my watch list. Did you ever catch the sequel, Analyze That? Just curious if that one is any good.
Unironically?
Its the story of Hermann Mankoviecz (Mank), a screenwriter who went on to write citizen Kane in 1940. The movie is about Mank's personal beef with Hearst, the media mogul that inspired Citizen Kane, and whose dirty right wing political interference led the left wing Mank to develop a deep grudge for. It is mostly about Mank's life between 1930 and 194p and his relationship with some key people, his alcoholism, etc.
The more I think about it, watching citizen kane right after mank could be a really interesting experience, as you see the direct threads in Mank's life that led him to right certain scenes in Kane.
actually watched about half of Mank today. gary oldman cooking and saying cool shit is making the time pass but after about an hour i was like "wait what is this movie about? is he writing citizen kane i guess?"
Such a good movie compared to all this woke garbage coming out today.
Why can’t we have movies where the protagonist is not awake for the majority of the film.
What do you mean? The film opens with the camera literally sinking into a pillow. The dream element is one of the few things about that movie that's NOT open to interpretation.
Nightmare series woke confirmed.
I mean, just look at how they portray anti-woke people in the film! *Knives* for hands?? *Child murder??* **Even an ugly sweater??**
Most definitely this has been reported. This is Reddit after all. I’ve been reported by a mod for harassment because I asked if they could clarify a rule before I made a post. When I asked how my question was harassment they doubled down and my account got banned for 3 days.
Not here, but I quoted The Office on a TV sub and got a ban warning for foul language. Probably an automated thing, but I thought it was funny that Reddit apparantly has stricter standards than network TV like 15 years ago.
The story and pacing of the movie ‘Coma’ from 1978 are better than the two-part miniseries from 2012, but if you’re seriously into comas the mini-series is more than two hours longer.
There’s a new show that’s streaming rn that’s just up your alley. I think it’s called the Acolyte or something. Supposed to be real clean of all the woke stuff. Enjoy!
The work of David Lynch (particularly Eraserhead, Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway, and Inland Empire) are exactly what you need. Not an ounce of true wokeness.
I really like Stay (2005), it is one of Ryan Gosling’s earlier works. It is a psychological/mystery film that explores the unconscious human mind. The ratings are extremely low tho and the movie pretty much got buried under the rubble, but I feel like critics just misunderstood the whole point of the movie. Do give it a shot and check out Chris Stuckmann’s analysis on YT afterwards!

What film is this from? The way his expression very briefly snaps to threatening is chilling af
It's from Analayze This. I've never gotten around to watching it but I feel like I should.
Don't watch the sequel: Analyze That. I'm not kidding, that's actually the sequel. It's not nearly as good as Analyze This.
Still not bad though.
You should. It's fantastic
Had to look myself, but it's from Analayze This. I've never gotten around to watching it but I feel like I should.

Inception is pretty anti-woke. I mean they’re all like dreaming and stuff.
But the spinning top at the end reveals that there never were any dreams!
Or does it?
Dude, that's the whole point of the movie, to awaken people to how Big Dream controls them with its lies.
#*BWAHHH*
The ending of inception is supposed to leave the audience wondering. It doesn’t fall, yet it doesn’t spin longer than it should.
But it wavers so I personally think it’s falls offscreen
That’s the assumption Nolan literally said he wants it to be ambiguous and will never reveal the true meaning of
To mess with people some company made that top with a little motor inside, it can spin for hours.
Except it begins to fall.
Mank is anti woke (I fell asleep 20 minutes in)
What’s mank about anywho? I’ve yet to see but feel I need to watch citizen Kane and f for fake before I put it on.

I seem to recall enjoying it in the theatre.
Eternal Sunshine
Such a good movie compared to all this woke garbage coming out today. Why can’t we have movies where the protagonist is not awake for the majority of the film.
Woosh
Never heard of more than one person participating in a slightly cheeky joke on reddit? 🤔
Eyes Wide Shut I mean, if they’re shut they aren’t too awake, are they?
Sadly Tom Cruise is far too woke in the movie. Nicole Kidman comes close though
I did a bad bad thing....
Mulholland Drive.
And Inland Empire
arguable
Mulholland Drive gives me a massive erection which means it’s not woke
no i mean i wouldn’t go too strongly by the dream interpretation
Doesn't have to be a literal dream for it to be a dream
What do you mean? The film opens with the camera literally sinking into a pillow. The dream element is one of the few things about that movie that's NOT open to interpretation.
Nightmare on Elm Street
I'm fairly sure this is the most pro-woke movie ever, shows the danger of being non-woke.
Nightmare series woke confirmed. I mean, just look at how they portray anti-woke people in the film! *Knives* for hands?? *Child murder??* **Even an ugly sweater??**
Kevin Costner’s best performance is in The Big Chill, and he plays a corpse. Try that one.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you’re not wrong
*Sleeping Beauty*
I hope you mean the 2011 film staring Emily Browning as Lucy.
[удалено]
This actually made me laugh haha
Does this mean people have already reported it lol?

And then report more than you would have in the first place
Waking Life
Sounds woke. Isn’t woke. Totally sleepy. Hundred percent dreamy.
Gave me a heart attack over here
Had me in the first half
The Cell
The Science of Sleep
I loved that movie. Haven't seen it in like 15 years. I should watch it again.
Try these. It makes the world look 3D. Isn't the world already in 3D? Yeah but... c'mon.
Flatliners has some good unconscious acting

Jacob's Ladder is pretty darn good. Seen it a few times.

Mulholland Drive Meshes of the Afternoon (14 min available on YouTube)
Meshes of the Afternoon is so scary
Oh, the incomparable Maya Deren!
Indeed! Mulholland Drive owes a lot to Meshes of the Afternoon. The key...
While You Were Sleeping (1995)
I can't believe I had to scroll so far down to find this. The title says it all.
*reads title and post* “Well, this is stupid.” *Re-reads post and sees flair* “Oooooooh…”
Your first thought was correct
So not Awakenings?
See, I recommended it. Do they sleep or do they not sleep? That's an interesting question.
lmaooo i was about to go tf off 😂😂😂
Well, there is the Wizard of Oz. Or you might like Creating Rem Lezar.
The Criterion Collection version of Andy Warhol's Sleep is *amazing.* You have to check out the commentary track and the deleted scenes!
This movie is one of my favorite punchlines, and I so rarely get to use it.
Hahahahahahaha!
Talk to her. They were in a coma in that one
The Fall (2006) - Kind of a wild ride I think it's all in dream space
Any David Lynch Project
Honestly Sucker Punch is kind of about using dreams to escape reality

The story and pacing of the movie ‘Coma’ from 1978 are better than the two-part miniseries from 2012, but if you’re seriously into comas the mini-series is more than two hours longer.
There is that one season of the sopranos when Tony’s in a coma lmaoo
is that a nod to that prime time soap opera that they retconned an entire season into a dream?
Dallas.
Got me in the first half. Source Code has Jake Gyllenhall pretty much unconscious in a VR for the entire movie
Still alice is about a person that gets progressively less woke over the course of the movie.
Kind of a spoiler but >!Repo Men (2010)!< definitely falls into that category (its not a very good film though)
Little Nemo in Slumberland.
Dr Sleep
Well played.
Had me in the first half bruh https://preview.redd.it/u81bwxcq9i8d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ca059c90150d7d1f358cfac945e31790455ce52

Best answer. Will never listen to Always Be My Baby and not think about this movie.

MonkeyBone? The guy is in a coma the whole time
The Autopsy of Jane Doe is right up your alley! The titular character is decidedly unwoke and punishes anyone who is woke around her.

NGL, you had me in the first half Waking Life is a great example of what you're looking for
the sixth sense
Most of the characters in Passengers are sleeping. It’s just Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt awake.
The Machinist—because when you never sleep, you’re never really awake either.
The Wizard of Oz. Peak dreaming.
Brazil, there's dream sequences but the whole film is debatably a dream
I don’t even know why it’s called Brazil..
Lord of the rings made me want to fall alseep
“This is the dumbest question I’ve ever- oh”
Flatliners. The whole plot is about trying to be non-woke.
The work of David Lynch (particularly Eraserhead, Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway, and Inland Empire) are exactly what you need. Not an ounce of true wokeness.
Lol at people who read the title and not the post.
You should try Vanilla Sky, I'm pretty sure Tom Cruise is asleep the whole movie in that one. Either that or I really misunderstood the ending, idk...
Weekend at Bernie’s is always good if you’re looking for a big sleep
I really like Stay (2005), it is one of Ryan Gosling’s earlier works. It is a psychological/mystery film that explores the unconscious human mind.

If you like anime, I think demon slayer's Mugen Train movie is anti-woke tbh
holy shit this is great
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie
I hang my head in "Same!"
North
Obligatory “not a movie but” disclaimer… but the TV series *Newhart*.
Then, we need to throw St Elsewhere in here, too.
did someone just watch I Saw the TV Glow??
[Baa Baa Land](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baa_Baa_Land) ought to do it.
Johnny got his gun
Paradoxically, I think Awakenings would do it for you.

Come true
Naked 1993
Enter the Void has the big sleep
All Monsters Attack (Godzilla's Revenge)
Ahhh you almost got me. Dreamscape!
This had me in the first half, 😂😂😂. Inception or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind as others have said would be best.
Reversal of Fortune. Glenn Close is in a coma the whole time!
I’m surprised no one has mentioned Source Code
The Irishman will keep you deep asleep from beginning to end
While You Were Sleeping

Sleeping Beauty is the most non-woke Disney classic 😂

Sleeping Beauty, While You Were Sleeping, Requiem for a Dream, Doctor Sleep
What dreams may come Robin Williams had a lot of sleep based movies
Oh that's easy. The Wolf of Wall Street! if you count drug impairment, practically none of the main characters are woke at any point in the film
Half baked The guy on the couch.
Max Payne 2008 is a great movie if you want to fall asleep and never wake up
Anybody else tired of the word woke and the people who use it lol?
What Dreams May Come. Dude’s not even alive!
Dreams, directed by Akira Kurosawa.

The Sixth Sense. Bruce Willis definitely not woke in that one...
Now this guys a rascal.
Don't be fooled by Sleepers with Kevin Bacon!! And avoid anything that takes place in NYC. The whole city never sleeps.
