Title: A Scanner Darkly
Post by: I Have a Sandwich on August 01, 2006, 09:19:48 PM
I was wanting to see it for a while with NO idea what it was about. I saw it two days ago. It was better than anything I could have anticipated. Has anyone else seen it? I mean, the visuals, the plot, it was just so great.

Its a movie about drugs and stuff. Its an awesome movie that I'm afraid to talk about for fear of spoilage.

I've heard about it, and I kinda want to see it. Just answer me this: Does the title of the movie have any significance, or is it just poor sentence structure and "cool" words to hype the movie a little?

The correct term is Rotoscope, not cel-shaded. It's called,"A Scanner Darkly," because it's about a scanner. No, I don't mean, like a Xerox scanner or something like that. This type is a type of crime investigator, also a scout, an undercover agent, well, you get the picture. He's investigating a drug dealer, and to not blow his cover, he has to take the drugs, too. He starts hallucinating, and the live-action turns into Rotoscope. I say that it looks freaky, and I've never seen it, but that's what it says it's about in the local newspaper. To sum it up, it's about an undercover scout investigator(Scanner), and his life is viewed in a psychotic way(Darkly). Newspaper recommends you watch it, so obey. OBEY!

Way more than I asked for, but at least you filled me in. Thanks for the almost "yes" back there, Sandwich Havin' son of a Pink.
