Just watched this film about 5 minutes ago... Seriously head mashing!
I got the jist & the finale, but it's tough going. I think most people would agree it's one that takes at least 2 watches.. Did I say it was seiously fucked up? yep well good! It's seriously fucked up by the way!
this movie is cool but kida confusing. maybe i need to watch it again to fully get it. i thought the whole cast was awesome, but i think i would've liked to see it live-action just because i love all the main actors and i would've liked to actally see them.
Exactly. I don't understand how anyone finds the film to be difficult to follow. And even if someone were to find it intricately made, so much that it was hard to follow, why not watch it again before making fun of it on youtube? Ridiclious.
While watching the movie actually pieces fell into place in my mind about how intricate the plot is - I also read the book, and I missed to put some stuff in context. Best PKD adaptation ever, it gives justice to his work (unlike some other adaptations *cough*Total Recall*cough*).
Keanu Reeves chooses the coolest scifi roles. I think he would have made War of the Worlds far better if it were him instead of Cruise. Cruise just didn't fit the character of rebellious "wing it" father.
@splatwacker Keanu sucks. Didnt you see that piece of shit the day the earth stood still? Man, the original black and white one was a real movie. You can see that the acting is just worlds apart. I have never seen an old ass movie that really caught my attention. I seen the old one and then the new one. cmon, man. What a piece of shit. I think A Scanner Darkly is some of his best work. He probably enjoyed doing it.
@joejohanssen I did see it, I though he acted fine considering he represented a rather cynical alien, but there were things I didn't like about that movie. You should watch the old Time machine, and Journey to the center of the earth, if you haven't seen them.
A movie about BIG GOVERNMENT in my opinion. Hence the Big Brother-like environment, the fascist police state, and the War on Drugs on steroids. The War on Drugs is a tool by the government. They bring in the majority of the dope and make sure it's everywhere so they can arrest more Americans. It's no wonder why the U.S. leads the world by a landslide in prisoners. China isn't even close. This planned economic collapse is forcing us through the gates of an eerily similar world in some ways.
I love Philip Dick. He`s strange, sometimes weird but he`s genius of science-fiction. I so have to watch this. All of the favourite actors and my favourite Dick`s book!
this movie is awesome, i love it, but one thing i don't understand, i've seen the movie twice and still don't get when he has sex with that girl and then after the sex he see's her as donna and then it goes back to looking like the other girl and then he see's the change on the camera and hologram, is it donna wearing some kind of scramble type suite or is he hulicinating? If some one could clue me in that would be great thanks.
i thought so but in one scene, i think it maybe where he's watching the footage of them having sex, bob is seen taking some sub-D caps through the suite so could that lead to the conclusion things can pass through parts or areas of a scramble suite and if she were wearing a scramble suite it would be a different kind than to what he wears due to it's not 'scrambling' its just masking her identity. So would this lead to the assumption that there would certain areas things can pass through thesuit
They filmed it, then projected the film onto a piece of frosted glass and traced each frame, then they cartooned up the tracings and used them for an animation.
Sounds like a bit of a fucking mission to me.
Couldn't they just apply an effect to each frame in paint shop pro?? would've saved millions.
they didnt you paintshop pro or photoshop because they believe it wouldnt give the same ginuine effect they wanted. They way this movie was done makes it special.
Rotoshop is a piece of software for interpolated rotoscoping. Rotoscoping is the process of hand-tracing the animation using the glass. The interpolation fills in some of the frames, saving the animators the trouble of tracing every single frame.
So how did they do this, they shot it on a panasonic dvx100b and then added the cartoonish/comic book effect to it in post? If anyone knows what program does this please tell me.
It was added in post production in Rotoshop. I'm warning you though, it took them 15 months to get it to this standard, its probably a difficult program.
They actually used a process that is taking me quite awhile to recreate in a picture form. It's known as interpolated rotoscope. This process takes forever because what it is basically doing is taking each film frame and rebuilding it with layers of solid color. This process takes for ever for just one picture on photoshop, think about the same process for film...
They dont take all frames, just enough. The program calculates the animations in between keyframes, kinda like tweening in flash. Also, I'm guessing it could be partly filter assisted.
The animation seemed a little nauseating for my liking, without the animation I would've been fine, why not just simply focus on the script rather than fancy effects? Then again the animation is what contributes to differentiating from other "mature" films out there..
Had to see this movie twice to really like it, but it's great. I know it's rotoscoping but it kind of looks like the watercolor effect on Windows Movie Maker, great effect...
I loved this movie. acting was totally off the wall and great and the rotoscoping technique captured it brilliantly, unlike motion capture and CG, which loses so much of the character and human-ness of the acting. However, it did work better for Waking Life, mainly because every scene was drawn by a different person, giving each scene a different look and feel. In this one, they didn't take advantage of it so well.
wasnt quite animation, its called rotoscoping. You take each frame of the live action film and trace over it, and merge similar colors in the real film into bigger pools of color. Its very expensive to do to a lot of film, and it looks great :)
From the RV Primer, Anagram Compression constructs and application of an Alphametrical Pi Code Configuration format "A Scanner Darkly; New Path Recovery Centers" cyphers to: "GRANTS PASS HIV-14 HEAD GELD LAB, NEVER DECENT, & NECK RAY RAN CODE PLAN WAS NY TERROR FUSE".
No, it portrays a personal account of the world as told by philip k. dick, who had several friends arrested by the FBI for drug use, and had his house broken into.
Well, kinda... Actually it's a social critic movie and one of those who stick you with your nose into the piece of crap instead of just making a few remarks here and there. The drugs are more of an excuse to be able to do that without you (the viewer) getting mad about that.
Yo, DUDEABIDES, Substance D would fuck you up worse than your mom. When you take a drug and start seeing people turn into cockroaches, you know that's a bad sign. Dumbass...

I dont think this movie is really anti-drug or pro-drugs. theres an underlying message thats more important than that and I dont think Phillip K. Dick was opposed to drugs...
A Scanner Darkly was the only Book P.K Dick wrote without the use of drugs, but yet, P.K Dick was an avid drug user and he wrote A Scanner Darkly to confront the drug issue.
Play simple scrabble with the title: NECK RAYS LAND RAN. This indicates something secret and of this world...as opposed to typical PKD fare of outerspace interaction.
These types of secret surveillence activities are conducted from deep inside the mountains of Southern Oregon in the Rogue Valley. Massive super computers & psycho-subliminal weapons technology help the 666 beast accomplish their mememical & eugenetical objectives.
Yes. Get out the scrabble letters and spell out "A SCANNER DARKLY". And then think of possibility of bio-microchips smaller than a grain of rice being surrepiously placed in the neck.
Sweet movie. But anyone notice if you goto 1:26 that the scene isnt the movie of freck walking up behind donna!? Although it is in the book, right at the start. I guess they removed it, or am I mistaken?
i loved the movie... it was almost the exact opposite of those drug-movies a`la "cheech and chong"... it kind of remided me of "a requiem for a dream" which was a hell of a movie as well.

well all movie is paranoia.. but i thin that is a bad movie..ussually i like this kind of movie..but this one have a shity story.. well maybe if u see tha movie on drugs it maybehave fun.. loool
Welcome to Postmodern Times, a series of short animated films presenting new ideas about global consciousness and techniques for social and ecological transformation.
so let me get this straight. this movie isnt about watching while your stoned??? fuck i rented it just cause i thought it was sci-fi and trippy to look at. T_T
lol, ah yeah, because i didnt watch the movie then? i just watched it though, its pretty good, still looks trippy, but very annoying even watching crackheads be stupid. "give her blue flowers"
You need to have experience with drugs to fully appreciate it. The paranoia and delusional lifestyle and how it can break down your ego and sense of self.
This is the most impressing movie I have ever seen in my whole life.Maybe my brain is more experienced than others but to say that this movie´s crap shows that you have no idea of art.
I love this movie..so fuck all ya'll that say it sucked! I loved it b/c i can possibly realate to it. Kthnx it's about addiction..we all have it..weather it's caffine at the least or Herion at the most...so HA fuck you!
God this movie is so depressing even though I got some laughs through some of the character's psychotic moments, such as beginning with the bugs that just wont dissapear or the attempted suicide with a transdimentional being reading the sins one guy committed, taking 1000 years just to reach 6th grade when he started masturbating. This movie just makes me want to stay away from hard drugs in fear of shit like permanent psychosis which to me is on par with brain cancer.
not entirely true...Dick himself was a drug addict, and if you read the dedication at the end of the film (it's a lot more detailed in the book), "this has been a novel about some people who were punished entirely too much for what they did..." It's as much about the battle against drug addiction as it is about a surveillance-state.
what the author (i read up on his goal of the movie and novel) was shooting for was about drugs and the events that he endured and the paranoia that i brought about from drugs.
like it it is sad and it reminds me of my friend that saddly was killed last year because of reading chain letters and now that you have read this eshe will slowly kill you by everytime you hear a ring in your ear she will make your life shorter by a day post this on five different vidios to be saved sorry

It's a referance to the flowers used to make substance D.

wow i am choking on the irony of your comment.

You need to have experience with drugs to fully appreciate it. The paranoia and delusional lifestyle and how it can break down your ego and sense of self.

oh yeah also has anyone noticed how this trailer makes the movie seem to be some dystopian police state story? It's not really about that.

they developed a program called rotoshop to draw over the scenes they filmed. the technique is called "rotoscoping"

God this movie is so depressing even though I got some laughs through some of the character's psychotic moments, such as beginning with the bugs that just wont dissapear or the attempted suicide with a transdimentional being reading the sins one guy committed, taking 1000 years just to reach 6th grade when he started masturbating. This movie just makes me want to stay away from hard drugs in fear of shit like permanent psychosis which to me is on par with brain cancer.

it depends on what drugs you take and how you take them..and why you take them.
imloki420 4 years ago
you don't got anything right there... the film is not about drugs.. it's about our future.. a surveilance-state
SethPutnam 4 years ago
not entirely true...Dick himself was a drug addict, and if you read the dedication at the end of the film (it's a lot more detailed in the book), "this has been a novel about some people who were punished entirely too much for what they did..." It's as much about the battle against drug addiction as it is about a surveillance-state.
caboosetheblue 4 years ago
its not about that either.
its not clear about what it is, but not a blunt topic like drugs or police stating.
tooleh 4 years ago
what the author (i read up on his goal of the movie and novel) was shooting for was about drugs and the events that he endured and the paranoia that i brought about from drugs.
