The protagonist is a drug addict, no doubt. He takes drugs every day and has hallucinations after taking drugs. He imagined that he had a friend named John, imagined a Jamaican who made potions, imagined that the person he killed would come back to life.
The protagonist not only takes drugs, but also has severe brain damage, making him crazy. The whole film is that he is fantasizing alone. The opening starts with his hallucinations, and then he imagines that the reporter he killed turns into a ghost to interview him, and imagines that his friend John, who died from drug overdose, will be resurrected, and he will travel with him.
Well, let me clarify the plot: the protagonist is a murderer. He takes drugs fiercely. John was his friend. The two took drugs together. John died of an overdose. Since he was totally unconscious, he kept hallucinating that John was alive. He sees and hears. He took a hot dog as a phone call, but of course he couldn't make a hundred dollars in the hot dog, and he had to swipe his card. Everything is his illusion. He killed Jamaicans and all the people who attended the beach party with him. The detective went to arrest him, but he escaped by chance. He later killed the detective. The girl with the broken arm did not become his girlfriend, she died, and he imagined that she was with him. Just like John, John has died long ago, but has been living in his hallucinations.
The plot of the film is messy and full of hallucinations, which makes the audience's attention easily distracted and unable to enter the state. After a while, I usually feel confused and want to come out. After watching it, I was at a loss, but I had no memory of the plot. Typical hallucination symptoms.
