A Scanner Darkly - Driveway Scene

[@RobsMiscellania]

This scene is so intensely manic. They cycled through three or four completely distinct scenarios in less than three minutes. Amazing.

[@azmanabdula]

....Hollywood fucked up They had everything and they still dont get it

[@We_Are_Borg_478]

This scene is actually more normal than people realize. Ernie and James have no intention of hurting each other. It's the same way my friends and I play with each other. We almost see this scene through the eyes of Charles, who is reaching critical stages of substance D toxicity. He is paranoid and instead of seeing two men playing as he should, he sees two men about to murder each other. It's like the visual test where Bob sees the sheep instead of the dog. Charles saw everything that was happening, but he percieved it as a sheep instead of what it actually was. It's absolutely insane how many new things I pick up each time I watch this movie.

[@ufonomicon]

I had a room mate step out once and I thought he had set me up and the feds were coming to raid the house. I had two chicks at the house, and I was going to use them as hostages and murder suicide us all. But really, I had smoked a bad batch of meth, and I was having a complete psychotic meltdown. A few minutes later my friend came back and I realized I was wrapped up in a deep paranoid delusion. I quit drugs shortly afterwards and never went back.

[@jlmurrel]

@@ufonomicon - trippy. Glad you are back in the land of the living.

[@yeahitsmesofkinwhat]

@@We_Are_Borg_478 This is from 2 years ago, but I would like to point out that after Barrett said that he'd start talking in that Donald Duck voice Arctor said that he couldn't understand him it's a foreshadowing of then end of the movie.

[@Sunprism]

God, I just noticed that Barris isn't actually typing anything into his calculator watch, just fiddling with the dials to look important....Love this flick

[@bwc-chvd]

I love the way this movie portrays society’s dystopia without going too off the rails

[@libRteedude]

That's actually a really good point. A lot of dystopian movies would have the over-the-top cyberpunk, techno-fascism that we see in many other works. But the oppression and dysfunction here is a lot more low-key and mundane, probably closer to how a real drug-distributing corporation would want things.

[@Beerbottles123]

The moment you realized, it's a movie about a dystopian future and not the state of things right now.

[@TheIkaraCult]

thats the material speaking. Philip K Dick was in control even though he was dead

[@tomasinacovell4293]

This whole movie jumped the shark, I really had no idea that Dick was this technically inept!

[@starwarsroo2448]

The moviei goes completely off the rails but it's not a bad movie

[@libRteedude]

"This place has become unsafe." I feel like that line sums up the idea of the book and movie pretty well.

[@Sixteenthkira]

"No no, it is yuhguhguhgoo that are fuguckededup" is quoted so often in my household, still to this day

[@kaps7458]

This movie was ahead of its time. All my friends hated it but I found it so intriguing. The paranoia,the comedy,the tragedy

[@MrCofeebean]

"No, I just saw it inside and I thought, ya know, I'd just bring it along with me."

[@infraredradiator]

I've never ever seen a movie that accurately portrays schizophrenia/paranoia like this movie. I never really got that the first time watching it so I found it stupid, but watching it a second time really shows how awesome it is. One of my favorite movies.

[@amaetens1]

+infraredinstinct Read the book by Philip K Dick! It's great, although they pretty much followed it straightforward in the film adaptation

[@orangejoe204]

PKD (the author) was both a schizophrenic and a speed freak. According to him, everything in the book he saw with his own eyes during those 2 years.

[@biffwellington7577]

Agreed. Reminds me of me when I'm deep in a bpd manic phase. Just before I have to 'take a vacation' for a month or two.

[@juliant.verdon7077]

Watch undone. Same film style and relates to schizophrenia.

[@davin1287]

Wtf are you talking about

[@CrowbarDoom]

Love how Bob doesn't even turn from the engine when the fight starts. This is clearly a daily occurrence for him.

[@cyborgninja5489]

Robert Downey was the logical choice for Barris.

[@mikec5400]

the way the dude in the jumpsuit is so paranoid but trying to act as normal as possible thereby completely acting manic as fuck is just brilliant

Been reading this book for like the 5th time. Just got through this scene yesterday. I think this is one of the best PKD movie adaptations.

[@JoeKing69]

[@KillurGod666]

such a great cast!!! I forgot how great this movie is

[@geores9152]

freaking fantastic film.

[@banestar]

The line at 1:12 where he says "You are constitutionally incapable of not shutting the fuck up" has always fucked with my brain. I'm thinking, isn't that a double negative? But then I think about it, if he said: "You are constitutionally incapable of shutting the fuck up" - This means he is not able to shut up. But he said: "incapable of NOT shutting the fuck up" - This somehow also means he is not able to shut up. Am I a pea brain or is this actually confusing and amazing?

[@Alx1744]

You are right, "incapable to not shut up" = incapable to stop shutting up.

[@Starlightean]

I've only ever watched this movie once because it was jarring and made me uncomfortable. Nothing wrong with the rotoscope, quite the opposite, it was a very refreshing style. The constant paranoia and depression just got to me. A very good and impressive film and cast. I'm a huge fan of PKD.

[@yourmother4343]

Yeah it freaked me out the first time i saw I was 14 and I was afraid of being schizophrenic it just scared me for some reason i don't know why but I've watched it recently i could handle it but for some reason it scared me when I was younger

[@neomcdoom]

Yeah I feel the same way

[@RustinChole]

The gong when he appears with the hammer 😂😂😂😂😂 “don’t take the car… you’ll kill yourself!” Such a tragic book/movie. But the dynamic of that circle of friends PKD dedicated the book to is so absolutely on point.

I'd agree with that. Plus it's Barris being "faux-intellectual junkie" and Luckman being "anti-intellectual jock junkie" which are their primary character traits.

[@tyronejones4245]

They were definitely screwing with him, but they're all brain damaged and I don't think they even realized that a thousand pounds is a ridiculous estimate of the car's weight to begin with. They've lost it and couldn't function normally if they tried.

I've watched the movie first, and then years later, i became a big fan of PKD ,and I read lots of his work, including a scanner darkly. Yesterday, i watched the movie almost right after completing the book. And this scene in a move made me fill bad,because of how they all treated Freck here and how they basically pushed him, and in the book he makes disicion to leave without the "evereybody fucked up" exchange,in a book he hears remark about the most dangerous man when he already driving off , not that there is no implication of disregard of their freind state in the book, but here in the move it felt really harsh and i felt sorry for Freck really bad.
