What critics compared The Cruise to
Speed Levitch, the philosophical tour guide from "The Cruise," is on a bridge giving another tour talk about the poet Lorca and the author D. H. Lawrence, and Speed muses on his opinion that one can find reality through one's dreams.
Linklater shot Waking Life on digital video with real actors, including Wiggins, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy (the stars of Linklater's Before Sunrise) and "Speed" Levitch (from the 1998 documentary The Cruise).
Miller has gone three times to the plate and scored each time: The Cruise (1998), a poetic elevation of the portrait documentary, starring New York dreamer Tim Levitch; Capote (2005), the most intelligently disturbing treatment of a major American writer, which won Hoffman an Oscar; and now Moneyball, a terrific, brainy sports movie.
