The standout for me in this movie were Keanu's eyes...they were so sad, especially when he was in the scramble suit. Keanu conveys so much with his eyes.
I also love the scene near the end of the movie when Winona Ryder's character is talking to her boss over coffee. Her boss talks about God's MO and how we so often can only see/understand things after they've happened; that there is an underlying story being worked out that is not readily obvious...that resonates so much with how I see life.

I LOVED this movie, Keanu was INCREDIBLE. I wish they'd showed more about New Path also. Listening to the commentary is great also especially when you hear Keanu expounding on the book, and about PKD himself. The man is brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

My favorite scene is when Fred/Bob is giving the speech at the beginning of the film. And I love the scenes where he's in the scramble suit, even when you don't see Keanu's face, you can recognize it's him from the body language.

And Harrelson's Beatles reference. :)

I love this movie to tears.
no, really.
it's one of the very few movies that could make me cry . literally.
It's just...something else. It's ( the best adaptation ever of) PKD meets Waking Life.

and while Downey and Harrelson had a field day with their characters, Reeves delivered one of his best performances ever.

but I still wish Linklater had given more space to the New Path events, in the third part. it seems a bit rushed. and considering it was mainly a DVD release, 10-15 more minutes could have helped understanding the story better.

but I still love it...
