Re: a scanner darkly
 

seen it - yes

understood it - ummm .. got a bit lost, should have paid more attention at the start

Yeah I saw it, think i understood it! Think I may lack the necessary English skills to describe what the fudge was happening though!

Thought it was good though, didn't know anything about it so I was pleasantly suprised by it.

what is a scanner darkley? a film or something?

Cant say ive ever heard of it

Popping off to see it next Thursday.

Having read some of the reviews it has had an incredibly mixed reception. I like the look of the filming tecniques being used.

Saw a brief review of this last weekend, looks like Mr K Reeves top performances with him able to exhibit expression in this film :lol:

An interesting idea, film everything then paint it like a graphic novel. Wonder if the story/plot works though.

I think this will be notable more for its' art than content. I'll wait and see. :?

I'm going to try and watch it this week, I read the book a few years ago and that was pretty weird. They say it sticks to the plot of the book well though.

I'd try and explain but I'm sure google could do a better job for you. :?

Edit To Add: It was a very good book.[/i]

Have any of the people who didnt understand it read the book?

I had to read the book twice to completely understand it and every time i re-read it again I seem to pick up on a couple things. Its a VERY good book tho.

If the book is closely based on the film (does look like it but i havnt managed to see it yet) then I can expect it to be a bit nuts, the book was written by Philip K **** who spent most of his life on one substance or another.

I really cant wait to see the film as i love the book so much but been so busy :(

I haven't. I got the gist - I would have done better if I'd figured out the characters' names a bit sooner than after the end f the film
