A Scanner Darkly: the surveillance state, drug abuse, and rotoscoping
b'The Novel \\n\\n
Philip K. Dick sort of wrote this about himself and his experiences with the Berkeley drug culture. \\u201cEverything in A Scanner Darkly I, actually saw.\\u201d This novel is probably the least scifi of Dick\\u2019s work.
\\n\\n Rotoscroping \\n\\nOther famous examples of rotoscroping, but Linklater\\u2019s are the first to do it 100%. Interesting custom software with layering techniques. Perfect for this film with its less than firm grip on reality.
\\n\\n Drug Addiction \\n\\nWe are squares and we know roughly nothing about drugs. But it sure seems bad. Especially the drug in the movie: Substance D. LSD experiments like the following:\\n[youtube]n4Sb8jCJUTw[/youtube]\\n Here is the article about these experiments.
\\n\\n Big Brother/Corporate Conspiracy \\n\\nSmall conspiracies vs grand conspiracies. Big brother. Alex Jones and Linklater. Govt agencies compelling sharing by private firms. The social effects of being watched. The war on drugs.
\\n\\n Fractured Indentity \\n\\nScramble suits. How much can trust our own senses? Occam\\u2019s razor. Unwitting sacrifice.
