6.5 points. For works that are very experimental in nature, the innovation of expression is far greater than the story. This kind of work that uses live performances and then animates, as far as I know, it is only one. But when it comes to the plot, I don't know whether the original fans are satisfied, but at least in terms of pure movies, I don't like it. Two anti-drug undercover agents dealt with each other in the end, this kind of idiot plot is too...

6/10. The alternative methods of real-life animation have been played in "Half-Dream and Half-Awake Life". The chaotic shots and the monologue of the protagonist who don’t understand what he’s talking about are the same as the description of the hallucinations of the scalp covered with caterpillars and human-like beetles, about drug addicts. His experience and the split of spy identity are all reminiscent of Cronenberg's "Naked Lunch". Movies that can only be experienced by drug addicts, normal...

Real-life capture + animation special effects are like simulating the shape of the world after taking drugs. The whole movie is more like a dystopian and anti-realistic illusion experiment. Richard Linklater’s personal style is too strong, and the form overwhelms the...

Freck: [twitching horribly] Okay, if you guys are gonna kill eac hother, I'm s-splitting! It's getting very fucked up over here!
Fred: Freck, the most dangerous kind of person is the one who's afraid of his own shadow.
Freck: What is that supposed to mean?
Barris: It means, Freckles, that if you take too much of that stuff, not only are you going to start seeing and feeling buggy bugs all over yourself but you're also gonna start talking like...
[makes quacking sounds]
Barris: And no one can understand you.
Fred: What did you say, Barris? I didn't understand you.
[Barris softly quacks to Fred and then louder at Freck]
Freck: You guys are fucked up!
Barris: [imitating Frecks in a raspy twitching voice] Oh no. It is you ga ga goo that are fuck upted up!
[Freck leaves and Luckman throws a rock to the ground]
Luckman: Go Freck yourself!
Barris: [in a high pitched voice] "Don't take the car, you'll kill yourselves! Ye gogh gogh gogh gogh!"

Mike: I believe God's M.O. is to transmute evil into good and if He's active here, he's doing that now. Although our eyes can't perceive it. The whole process is hidden beneath the surface of our reality. It will only be revealed later. And even then, the people of the future, our children's children, will never truly know this awful time that we have gone through and the losses we took. Maybe some footnote in a minor history book, a brief mention with no list of the fallen.
