The Cruise
This is about the life of a New York city tour guide, Timothy “Speed” Levitch, who gained a cult-like following during the stint of his time working at Apple and then Grey bus tours. He passion for life, New York and his heartfelt soliloquies captured the attention of so many bus riders that he was worthy enough of a documentary.
Listen to his eccentric philosophy that can challenge your perceptions of New York and the mundane daily life activities that we have all probably done at least once. He also talks about New York architecture and the lives/ homes of famous writers and artists.
Waking Life
This is an animation about unnamed character who moves through the movie in a lucid dream. The main character is essentially stuck in a dream and spends floating from one speaker to another, absorbing whatever knowledge that have to offer, most of it about life, interconnectivity of human life, metaphysics, various artists, etc.
There’s even a small cameo from Tim “Speed” Levitch from the The Cruise (that’s how incredibly pervasive this eccentric tour guide was.)
I hope these tools gets you started on your quest for inner serenity once the weather becomes absolutely crazy. If you can find peace during New York winters, you might be the next Dali Lama.
