can not read. . . quite boring

First of all what's the story? Does it mean that the police or the government suspected that NEW PATH was the source of Substance D, and then sent Keanu Reeves to join a group of drug addicts as an undercover agent, but he became addicted to drugs and became mentally ill. And then sent to NP rehab to continue undercover?

And is Robert Downey at the center of a case in the film or just a neurotic drug addict? Some of the scenes in the film, such as Reeves and his party go to San Diego and the car breaks down, what are they trying to convey? Or is it a foreshadowing of the context or just depicting the boring life of a drug addict? Why did the girl who slept with Reeves change her face? Is there something wrong with Reeves' sensory perception? But why does the girl still change her face when being checked on the monitor and on the instrument?

What is the final thought of the film? The confusion and decadence of drug addicts? The depression of modern people, the confusion about their own identity? The dangers of drugs? Although the subtitles of the author of the monograph appearing at the end of the film seem to be pointing, but I really don't understand the film and it doesn't resonate and think deeply. But the effect of the film is really cool.

A Scanner Darkly quotes

  • Medical Deputy #2: Damage has taken place to the normally dominant left hemisphere, and the right hemisphere is attempting to compensate.

    Fred: The two hemisphere in my brain... are competing?

    Medical Deputy #2Medical Deputy #1: [in unison] Yes.

  • Medical Deputy #1: You know, Fred, if you keep your sense of humor like you do, you just might make it.

    Fred: Make it? Make what? The team? The chick? Make good? Make do? Make out? Make sense? Make money? Make time? Define your terms. The Latin for 'make' is facere, which always reminds me of fuckere, which is Latin for 'to fuck', and I have been getting jack shit in that department as of late.
