Movies about Awakening ◉_◉

[ActualizedDavid]

If you watch a movie or a short film that included the concept of awakening I would love to here about it.

Example: Matrix

[Mason Riggle]

Wizard of Oz, perhaps?

The Fountain by Aronofsky

[DocHoliday]

 

[Beginner Mind]

Groundhog Day.

[Halcyon Iconoclast]

The filmmaker does a fantastic job of explaining enlightenment in a clear manner.

Another YouTube documentary movie I watched recently.

Good one! 

[Mercurio3]

2001: A Space Odyssey

[Halcyon Iconoclast]

The Truman Show

[linxx]

Song of the Sea

[Beginner Mind]

Peaceful Warrior is another one I forgot to mention. 

But my main recommendation would be Groundhog Day.  It's the best movie ever made in my opinion.  Lots of humor and a powerful spiritual message.

Blinded By The Light. 

Watched this last night. Not so much a movie about awakening, but a near perfect depiction of, well, basically everything we chat about here. 

Can’t recommend it enough. 

It’s similar to Billy Elliot, and What Dreams May Come, in that it conveys awakening within the story itself, rather than being about it in content.

Vanilla sky.

"Mr. Nobody"

"Cloud Atlas"

Maybe not directly, but sort of. 

Also; "Waking life" (animation)

"The Tree of Life"! My favorite of all time!

Mirror by Andrey Tarkovsky.  "Everything is consciousness" is coded in every scene.

The Fountain by Aronofsky

I second this one!

Also, this film: Paris, Texas by Wim Wenders. Not directly about enlightenment like The Fountain, but at least as profound:)
