The suit is a representation of of his job. Fakeness. Not knowing his true self or what he is doing. This entire film is symbolism and referencing. The suit is not just a hi tech suit and it doesnt have anything to do with the drugs. He took the suit off when he left work yet he did drugs after work. The suit is not just a suit.
@Jononutoob then If I go back to basics: you need to survive, you need money, you need a social identity .. freds job is being everyone or nobody. I get it now thx for your answer. appreciated. I always thought suit is about something to do with drugs or the drug state of mind you know.
That suit must be some advance stuff, embedded soft electronics, color changing fibers, built in audio / video capabilities, wireless networking, electronic countermeasures, etc.. That's right out of star wars but it's probably only 5 years away..
@Jammed9000 Actually, it's only worn at the Police department building. How they get out without being scanned is via a secret passage at the building I think.
@CosmoShidan I think that they can only find you if you turn on your cell phone. if they hear something suspicious, the scanners zero in on you. The first time he leaves the dept. I think the brown bag that he rips and takes his cell phone out of, is probably made out of some signal scrambling material.
Too bad. Because I think feel that this whole speech is just there to bring you into the right state of mind for the final blow: "OK, let's eat." THAT is the moment when you really feel like your gonna puke every second now, because of the hypocrisy and stone hearted society of drones. This whole scene seems to be just the pretext to that one sentence.
What is the song at the end?(String instruments)

I dont think suit is something like hi-tech. its a way of telling the state of mind he is in.
dudefromizmit 8 months ago
@dudefromizmit wrong. i mean, nice insight, but technically, no, it's supposed to be a high-tech suit.

@dudefromizmit It's actually called a "Scramble suit". It's literally as it is represented.

Why do they wear those suits?
Jammed9000 1 year ago
@Jammed9000 So that police moles remain anonymous between the drug subculture and police as a means of avoiding collusion.

@MNUrebel56 They explain, like, 5 seconds before the video starts that he's wearing a special suit that does that on its own.
@blackicede If you like the movie, you should read the book. Both are great, but the book is better.
