PHILIP K. DICK DOCUMENTARY PART 9 OF 9

[lionOFjudah33]

Fuck Jeter. The man comes off as an arrogant and overly critical slimeball. What's even more scummy is that he paints this ugly picture of Dick when a good portion of his work is directly inspired by Dick and PKD was very supportive of his early works. He should learn to show gratitude and respect for his so called friend.

[organysntracey1]

the so-called friend, who did the blade runner series, I could have totally did without his commentary altogether. What a jerk. First he calls all the ppl going to the group sessions "losers" then he calls Phil "vain" then he "thanks god" that Phil didn't die "insane" or a "lunatic". In real life, I could totally do without a friend like him. Otherwise, love the piece.

[11pinrelay]

@organysntracey1 What do you mean? K.W. Jeter is a titanic writer; a genius...

He was there to provide counterpoint. Joan Simpson was more genuinely bitter, i.e. more pissing on PKD's genius, but both are parasite losers in their own right.

[organysntracey1]

@11pinrelay I don't think you meant this for me.

[11pinrelay]

@organysntracey1 Yes, I did. 

[organysntracey1]

@11pinrelay gottcha!

[organysntracey1]

@organysntracey1 so much for being open minded... jesus... young ppl are clueless

[fteoOpty64]

@organysntracey1 ; Yes, Jeter is a complete JACKASS!. This type of person will not have friends of any value. He reminds people how polarised this world is.

[WobulTterrag]

I just watched this for the second time in the last few months. Thank you so much for posting it.

[Lavenar]

Thanks for posting this.

[mitkoinhitko]

K.W. Jeter is a jackwad.

[elcat9091]

if this is called the penultimate truth about philip k. dick, what is the ultimate or last truth about him?

[daboognish88]

At 4:03 his therapist says he thought he "could do magik to wake him up, but no, it didn't work." Does anyone know if he is refering to magiK like Crowley was into? or do you think hes just speaking figuratively?

[Ph0be]

@daboognish88 I think he is just retarded

[pendelum5]

A modern day prophet

[bronlokis]

when humanity has evolved into a space-faring civilization, within the deepest, darkest corner of the universe, they will meet a Vast Intelligence. It's first words to Mankind will be: ''Hi, I'm Phillip"

[RyogaXvX]

Will androids dream of electric sheep?

[tremah05]

Well, K.W Jeter is not so nice with "Phil". Vain ? I don't think so. The guy had struggled his whole life to make money out of what he felt was his purpose on earth, so the fact that he could make "good money" just before he died, and have a small taste of his upcoming - and alas posthumous - glory... only justice. Maybe K.W Jeter is "somewhat jealous".

[fastfoodclowns]

@2:16 That's funny how he says he is being talked about on "intellectual" t.v. shows. Sounds like he was desparately seeking some kind of acceptance by "smart" people.

[Caligula138]

Philip K. Dick was fuckin crazy

[techpops]

A few observations. Despite PKD's impressive intellect, he seems to have been easily lead by others. Also this idea that there are other realities you can become aware of, seems to me to be another way of saying, world view. And your world view does indeed change based on what new information you're given, it doesn't mean reality splits and that's all I think PKD was trying to get across. IMO PKD's world view changed based on who he met through his life. Great documentary btw!

[muthemasphate]

@techpops nah read some more books and take some more lsd

[techpops]

@muthemasphate Been there, done that, got the t-shirt and now I'm too old to go back. The t-shirt doesn't fit anymore either. I've read a lot of his work and its almost uncanny how it seems to mirror his own life, the documentary really showed me that for the first time and maybe I'm just trying to defend PKD because I'm such a fan. I hate to think he was insane and prefer to think he was just paranoid, too many drugs will do that to you.

[muthemasphate]

@techpops i think the most amazing aspect of pkd is how dead on prophetic he was about the coming global awakening, the increasingly pervasive police state, and the concepts of realities

[warmecanic]

PKD = Morpheus

[devin1965]

Thanks so much for uploading this baruyero-wonderful stuff!

[DianaCMcC]

This is wierd. I wonder if his twin did live in him and make him crazy.

[optimusripe]

The only retarded thing about this is the whole investigation by men with guns.

[GWSFilms]

Great documentary and what a fascinating life.

[HLimmen]

Great documentairy!

[daftvader75]

seeing that gravestone at the end got me very emotional. it was great that they buried him next to his sister & put "twins" on the headstone, together at last.

[carsanookdotcom]

Thank You ~ Merci Beaucoup

VERY nice and THANK YOU for uploading.

I enjoyed it thoroughly.

[EssiacHempLaetrile]

8:50 March 2, 1982 ... 3 2 2!

[Dynamitrios]

@EssiacHempLaetrile I m intrigued, please explain

[EssiacHempLaetrile]

@Dynamitrios 8:50 Philip K. Dick died on the 3rd month, 2nd day, in the year ending with a 2, You tube "322".

[Xaenima1]

Great documentary. Thank you!!

[quolldude]

Great documentary, thanks for making and uploading this!

[antoine3070]

Excellent documentary!

[DesignKiller76]

I think that he recovered a past life memory load. About the VALIS, in my opinion, it might be what he claims. :)

[KSANDraGYNNe]

@DesignKiller76 agreed.

[TIGDIF]

This was very interesting and mind opening. I too have very mixed and confusing concepts about the reality we live in. He was not alone in his thinking!!!

PKD RIP

[CustardGanet]

Thank you baruyero for all your hard work making this great documentary and for putting it on youtube for all us Dick heads to view.Some great things here i never knew about the man.Thanks again.

[water0xFF]

What's with all the cats? It's kind of spooky...

[thefortysixand2]

@water0xFF I'm actually surprised no one mentioned in any of the interviews his relationship with animals. I've read he held animals as pets or otherwise in very high regard. I kind of get that feeling from his last few books as well.

[pathoplastic2]

@water0xFF

Look up 'Schrodinger's Cat'...very pertinent, in my estimation...

[dec2]

this was excellent

[besarkan]

great doco!

[Timewaverider1984]

very well done,love the doc.keep up the good work.

[BrerRabbitBDA]

Not sure what KW Jeter' deal is, but for someone whose writing career is heavily based and derived from the work of PKD, he seems inordinately unkind to the man who was clearly his inspiration. Every time Jeter opens his mouth here I feel like saying "fuck you buddy."

[pureevilfnord]

I don't like K W Jeter, he comes off as a real ass.

[sagan1976]

@pureevilfnord He is the inspiration for Kevin, the cynic friend of Fat in Valis. Always worried about showing his dead cat to God come Judgement Day.

[mytalent2]

I think he was not crazy at all, I think he had experience life differently and had many question witch couldn't be answered.

This was a great documentary, for me it was first hand introduction to this man and to know how he became the writer, I believe that some of us are chosen somehow to explore and reveal the mystery beyond reality to purposely awake the people, that this world is only partly real.

[crothersdaniel]

Great film, it should be on TV!

[strangersound]

Excellent documentary. I thoroughly enjoyed it. :)

[cLUTz83]

This was an excellent documentary! Full of facts and invaluable testimonials. The different viewpoints of ex-wives, co-workers, friends, and such really create an accurate yet still varied view of PKD's life. I also found that the sub-plot (or whatever you call it) with the detectives was quite unique and interesting, and without being invasive toward the biographic narrative, to the contrary actually, I think it was an excellent complement.

[godmadnezz]

man there needs to be a series of these Documentaries and i want one on aleister crowley or billy meyer or robert anton willson but done with in this style let me know if you know of any ?

[bugbottle]

i watched the whole thing & i think the whole "fbi metanarrative" justi distracts from the point. but good overall

[fizzleflyable]

great documentary. I watched the entire thing and found it to be extremely interesting.

[johtorn]

The guy was absolutely correct, far from crazy.. It's just very sad those people who knew him thought he became nutcase and didn't understand :(

[bileborg]

Great documentary! Too bad hes not here to see all the movies being made from his writings. Even thought they change the crap out of them, exept for a scanner darkly.

[wwwmatejase]

Really good documentry, never heard of this man before but ofcourse I have seen the movies..........will read his books now. Again thanks for this!!

[ironshroom]

"thank god he didn't die crazy"

lol well put.

[godmadnezz]

really good documentaire i love the FBI guys going over the info great visual do u have more of THE PENUTIMATE TRUTH stories ?

[baruyero]

@godmadnezz no, this was just a documentary on PKD and not part of a series.

[anastasia81472]

Interesting. Now I want to go buy all his books. Too bad I'm broke - lol.

[dumoktheartist]

Thank you for Sharing this, Blade-Runner is one of my all-time favorite films...

It's a very balanced and reasonable presentation of someone's life who was was both a Visionary and Mentally ill.

[AScann3rDarkly]

Congratulations to Tim Powers who appears in this documentary! I just heard disney bought his novel to be the next Pirates movie.

[Herzweh]

thanks a lot for sharing !

[mikealx68]

Thanks, this was a great documentary. I've read Lawrence Sutin's and Emmanuel Carrere's biogs, but the interviews here really brought the man and the story to life.

I love KW Jeter's brutal, un-PC honesty. Dick's description of him as "tall and gloomy" (in his introduction for "Dr Adder") seems about right.

[dwaynedibbly]

what does he mean by 'he saw the rushes on that movie?'

[baruyero]

he saw shots of the film, not the finished movie. he died before it was released,

[mikealx68]

@baruyero I gather he was desperate to meet Sean Young - and everyone else was desperate to keep him away from her. LOL. Anyways, he'd have had to hang on a good few years to catch the Director's Cut, The Director's Final Cut, or the Final Final Director's cut. ;-)

[ComradeCrusty]

he didn't die a lunatic, but he did die a misunderstood genius.....and being misunderstood, and mislabeled, can drive one to the gates of lunacy, certainly give one the appearance at times, if not over the edge altogether. RIP PKD. You will be missed.

[horgandavid]

thanks dude!

[jalusbrian]

a very good documentary on Dick.Thanks for making it!

[Adalbert101]

THANK YOU

[OKandNOWwhat]

Jane lived 40 days. On the 41st she entered the land of Promise.

You have to lose your human mind to see the Truth. The human mind cannot accept the Truth, for, at first sight, it is too horrifying. Those who choose the bundle of conventions called "sanity" have decided to swallow the party line because the Truth demands that you follow the lead no matter where it points.

This was an excellent documentary. Great job all around. Cheeky title, too. We will all get to see the last Word.

[nodonnel]

Also, to the creator of this documentary, THANK YOU! I learned a lot, a lot of feeling as well as information. Peace

[MetaCraken]

Brilliant documentary. Footage of Dick at the Metz convention is truly heartbreaking.

[nodonnel]

Is it heartbreaking? I wasn't shocked by Dick's speech footage. Rather than heartbreaking, I found it an affirmation of PKD's personal stake in his work. In all of his novels I've read, I feel a piercing presence of personal conviction and vision; this vision is beyond imagination-- it is a glimpse of Truth. To be blunt, much of PKD's "fiction" reads more like philosophy to me. Also, did anyone notice (in vid 8 I believe) the segment of his speech about deja vu quoted later in "The Matrix?"

[MetaCraken]

You may be right. Maybe it isn't possible to have the novels the way they wwere without the writer completly engaged in his subject matter.

[theadam987]

nicely produced. i can't believe the screenwriter for total recall (?) was smoking at the interview, that's hilarious.

[russell7771181]

Wow  :O

[Telefonillo]

great documentary, great insight into the man, THANKS!

[PalmliX]

Teriffic doc, thanks so much

[chlebachce]

GREAT JOB!

[inthecan]

So happy to find this randomly! YOu have done and absolutely remarkable job with this doc about Phil's life, truly.. Excellent companion piece to Laurence Sutin's "Divine INvasions: A life of Phillip K. Dick"

[sanford9850]

Great doc both informative and poignant. I got to know Phil while going to Cal State Fullerton in the early seventies. Between classes I hung out at a local record store and Phil would show up a few times a week to check out new releases. I remember recommending Pink Floyd's DSOTM, Roxy Music's 1st LP and Bowie's Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust which he took home with him. I still have a signed copy of We Can Build You he so generously offered as a gift during one of these listening sessions.

[natedaug1]

@sanford9850 What was he like as a person? I love PKD and am just curious.

[Nightrelic]

The best documentary I've seen on PKD and I've seen a few now. It was great you were able to interview 4 of his wives, some girlfriends and his SF friends Powers, Blaylock, Jeter and Disch. Some complained about the investigation backdrop, but I thought it fit well with Dick's paranoiac tendencies and real life encounters with CIA and police. Great work!

[hannababalon]

VALIS is my favorite novel, thankyou for creating a compassionate and accurate portrayal of the man..I always wondered what some of his friends that he portrayed in novels were really like in person...'Kevin', especially, is pretty close to the character Kevin in VALIS...

[emjays63]

Excellent work baruyero on the documentary, you really gave a succint but thorough overview of the life of PKD.

I applaud you as well for producing and financing the bio and hope it's commercially available to purchase a copy, I really think it's worth it. If so I would like to see some behind the scenes of the making of the production and would like to know how this project came about.

Thank you very very much!

Long live the memory of PKD...

[eric144144]

excellent

[bradleyix]

seriously, that was great....

[SpirosK]

It was a nice biography of Philip K. Dick. Nice piece of work.

[cacophony00]

That's a great documentary, man, Thanks a lot!

[majoification]

great doc - thx baruyero

[jw56]

great doc, thanks

[ILikeCalliopes]

Thanks baruyero for posting this

documentary on Phillip K. Dick.

Found out quite a few things about him

that I was not aware of like the strong following

in France. I'm relieved to know that when he

passed away he wasn't struggling and starving.

He was a true visionary.

[cethyndra]

Thank you so much for making and sharing this film! It was amazing!

[philliephan11191985]

Wow....

[fargotua13]

Thank You .

[Maximusmadrica]

God is no where.

God is now here.

Sometimes you have to sit and think about everything around you. This is a good documentary and you deserve praise.

[darnacb]

Thank you for making this film. As a serious atheist and dedicated fan of PKD, I found this the best exploration of his psyche and work I've seen. Fascinating.

[baruyero]

Thanks for your comment! I am glad that you got to see it to the end.

[13thfloor18]

@darnacb What is a serious atheist my friend? Isn't that just believing in not believing? just my humble opinion, i'm not trying to offend. Great movie

[darnacb]

@13thfloor18 There are many people who profess beliefs or feign interests in order to shock or impress people. I met a man who ran an art gallery, but was unable to name a single artist or school of art he was fond of. I know a man who insisted he was a communist when he was 19, but at the age of 26 was a lawyer for oil interests. I simply meant that I am a sincere atheist.

[13thfloor18]

@darnacb I see, like an open minded skeptic in a sense, beliefs are rather empty compared to experience, do you entertain religious experiences and mystic states of mind and stuff like that or has religion left that much of a sour taste in your mouth.

[darnacb]

@13thfloor18 Oh, I'm a great exponent of "religious experience"-- which is why I feel Vodou is superior to most forms of Christianity. However, these are internal experiences, not some connection with an external, divine source.

[darnacb]

@13thfloor18 "proponent" not "exponent". Typing while working.

[Didgebaba]

Great Film...Thanks.
