PHILIP K. DICK DOCUMENTARY PART 2 OF 9

"The Penultimate Truth about Philip K. Dick"

In 2007 I produced this documentary about the mystical experiences of sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick.

Philip K. Dick is considered by many to be one the world's greatest science fiction writers ever; as a sufferer from mental illness himself he had the ability to turn his hallucinations about the universe into an extraordinary writing career.
During his lifetime, Dick produced an astonishing amount of prize winning novels and short stories, which were translated into more than 25 languages. Three of his literary works were transformed into blockbuster movies: Blade Runner, Minority Report and Total Recall.
Several years before his death, Philip started having mystical experiences that affected his everyday life. As a result, he started to wonder if what he had imagined for his stories was real and if life was just an illusion or the creation of each person's subjectivity.
This in-depth program explores Philip K. Dick`s world, a universe full of mysteries and intrigues.

I don't believe he was mentally ill at all. It was what he was "labeled".

Hey,Placeksue, I enjoy where your thoughts are going in your comment. If you read this please post more so I can follow your thread. Same goes for most all commentary. Thanks for thinking for yourselves. As for fastfoodclowns . . . reality is most of these people who are fans of PKD are, indeed, your intellectual superiors. My guess is you are suburban, never far from your cell phone texting orgy w friends laden w lol lmao abbreviatory slights against anything outside your narrow narow lil world

Is this the Same narrator thats in a scanner darkly?

[placeksue]

Perhaps he wasn't mentally ill....it was just that he had to live around sheeple willingly putting their heads in the dirt. People that can see past their nose are often considered mentally ill. so were people like jesus...the high priest called him these names too. so the real question is, are you mentally ill?

[stvbrsn]

Just exactly what the hell are you talking about, clown?

[fastfoodclowns]

I just think it funny that all the hard-core supporters of PKD have this need to believe that they are intellectually superior. It's just a story. Now go back to watching *Mork & Mindy* re-runs (a/k/a, "Mork from Ork")
