Drugs are not a good thing

It mainly tells the story of the anti-drug agent Fred, in order to investigate the new drug "D Pill", tried the drug with his own body, and eventually became addicted to the drug and caused a split personality and lost himself.

Describes the confusion and illusions caused by new drugs in people's thinking. This is an obscure film, some of the plot is even vague-and the original intention of this formal film.

The list of friends of the original author who died from drug addiction at the end of the film, the ambiguity of the story and the ambiguity of the identity of the characters on the scene, are all related to the corruption of drugs.

    2009.5.20 I watched it in my bedroom, to be honest I didn't understand it...

    Wonderful dynamic induction gouache... It must be said that the story is really unclear, but this format is really interesting

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.
