A Scanner Darkly

Supporting role performances can be scored 10 points, those few with Actor.
Although I saw Winona Ryder's name at the beginning, and knew she must be the heroine. But after I watched the film, I remembered, why didn't I find that the pitiful woman of the opposite sex 4 made a person, or was the face of a vampire who looked like a human in the 400 years of frightened vampires? She was really unrecognizable after she became an animation, but Keanu was still sharp.
Decadence and confusion enveloped the whole film. In a society that is fully monitored and chaotic, drug abuse will inevitably become a popular product. The film always mentions Substance D, a drug called substance D. The biggest suspense lies in this, the source of D material, the role of the protagonist in the event. Of course, the mystery will be solved one by one, surprise step by step. I only thought of the first one (his boss). I thought it was nothing but that, but I didn't expect the true result of the incident that was quickly revealed later. I want to look at the original novel by Philip K. Dick again... Some details of this novel come from the author's own drug use experience.
I like this type of film, as well as Roman Polanski's "The Ninth Gate", Keanu's other "Constantine", "Interview with the Vampire". Some are black, fantasy, and weird. The driving force of the living



and the dead in exchanging ownership of the
dead thing is stronger than the driving force of the living thing.
Living should never be used to serve the purpose of death,
but death should-if possible-serve the purpose of living. And service...
I saw death rising from the earth, from the ground itself, turning into a blue field

    To be honest, I don't understand, the translation is too bad

    The filming method is quite novel, like a comic, but the narrative method is really uncomplimentable, just a group of people talking and talking, but I didn't see it all.

A Scanner Darkly quotes

  • Luckman: You're the only person in the known universe who's never heard of the Heimlich maneuver?

    Barris: Alright, I'm gonna give you a little feedback since you seem to be proceeding through life like a cat without whiskers perpetually caught behind the refrigerator. Your life and watching you live it is like a gag-reel of ineffective bodily functions. I swear to god that a toddler has a better understanding of the intricacies of chew-swallow-digest-don't kill yourself on your TV dinner! And yet you've managed to turn this near death fuckup of yours into a moral referendum on me!

    Luckman: You are a monster!

    Barris: You are a billy goat!

  • Fred: I'd say Arctor is doomed if he's up to something. And I have a hunch from what you're saying that he is.
