    While watching it, I kept guessing about the ending, and at the end I found out that I was so cheesy, I was thinking of some Hollywood bad street endings. After thinking about it for a long time, I deeply felt that this movie must be...

    It is close to "Nude Lunch", but also has the tone of film noir. In the future towards totalitarianism, drugs are a powerful means of controlling people's hearts. The visual aspect is like the artistic processing of the "filters" in PS. It just sketches the real images. Since words and deeds are exactly the same as real people, it is still a real-life movie in the final analysis. Only some of the hallucinatory scenes are conducive to the presentation of...

    Live-action filmed and then made into a similar animation style? This film is a bit depressing, in line with Levi's drama since The...

    I didn't understand until the end

    At the beginning it was still a very shocking
    hallucination. The real bug in the hallucination was
    simulated into an animation
    like the effect of Faye Wong's "Sky" MV,
    but I thought this effect was only the title, and then it would return to normal. I didn't expect the whole film to be so
    tiring

    If you can calm down, you can see light in the dark

       The original author of the film, Philip K. Dick, has since passed away in 1982, from "Blade Runner", "Total Memories", "The End of Alien", "Invasion of Colonization", "Minority Report" to "Reminiscence" , And then to the "Dark Scan" in front of me, Dick's work has been repeatedly...

A Scanner Darkly quotes

  • Fred: What does a scanner see? Into the head? Into the heart? Does it see into me? Clearly? Or darkly?

  • Fred: [voiceover] Crazy job they gave me. But if I wasn't doing it, someone else would be. And they might get it wrong. They might set Arctor up, plant drugs on him and collect a reward. Better it be me, despite the disadvantages. Just protecting everyone from Barris is justification in itself. What the hell am I talking about? I must be nuts. I know Bob Arctor. He's a good person. He's up to nothing. At least nothing too bad. In fact, he works for the Orange County Sheriff's office covertly, which is probably why Barris is after him. But that wouldn't explain why the Orange County Sheriff's office is after him. Something big is definitely going down in this house. This rundown, rubble-filled house with its weed patch yard and cat box that never gets emptied. What a waste of a truly good house. So much could be done with it. A family and children could live here. It was designed for that. Such a waste. They ought to confiscate it and put it to better use. I'm supposed to act like they aren't here. Assuming there's a "they" at all. It may just be my imagination. Whatever it is that's watching, it's not human, unlike little dark eyed Donna. It doesn't ever blink. What does a scanner see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does it see into me, into us? Clearly or darkly? I hope it sees clearly, because I can't any longer see into myself. I see only murk. I hope for everyone's sake the scanners do better. Because if the scanner sees only darkly, the way I do, then I'm cursed and cursed again. I'll only wind up dead this way, knowing very little, and getting that little fragment wrong too.
