But I still want to take LSD, It's too far...
I've seen "waking life" first, so I'm not too shocked by the animation effect of this film. What is more shocking is that this film actually started a lot of big stars, and there is no Ethan Hawke, unlike Richard Linklater's style. Of all the Linklater films I've seen so far, this one is the least his style - for example, it actually has a plot! Moreover, the proportion of dialogue and the spark of thinking have been greatly reduced in this film, which is almost commercial.
Of course I'm not saying I don't think this movie is bad. Given my love for Linklater, every one of his films, if not the best, seems to me to be above average. However, it is undeniable that the main focus of this film is the screenwriter, which is the original work, so unfortunately I haven't seen much of Linklater's shining points (his director is still very good, I have always liked his independent film style very much , but I prefer him to write and direct it). Compared with his almost imitation of Polanski in "Tape", although this one is relatively commercial and lacks originality and novelty, it is also relatively mature.
