Chuck Klosterman is a clever guy. That much I can say unequivocally, everything else is up in the air. Here is the thing. Mr. Klosterman is willing to take on some weird questions How is Pamela Anderson a reflection of our changing attitudes about sex? How has The Real World changed how Americ...
In Chapter 13 of this book, Klosterman dissects those answers offered by The Matrix, Memento, Vanilla Sky, and Waking Life to the question, “What is reality?” All of these movies follow protagonists whose chief antagonists are their own perceptions of reality, and after a few insights, Klosterman pu...
