Beau is Afraid was the last one I recall. I think it was mostly the latter half of the movie where I started to get a bit confused and needed the ending explained to me.


What movies made you look up some kind of explanation afterwards? I feel like I have done it several times in the past for more surreal movies but can’t think of any other examples.

It can also be a TV show.

    The is this real or a dream idea was a major theme in many of Phillip K Dick’s works. Considering he wrote many of his novels and short stories while off his face on amphetamines and a cocktail of other drugs i guess it should not be much of a surprise.

    I wonder if that is a reason so many of his works have been adapted for the screen. Eg:

    A Scanner Darkly

    Blade Runner

    Total Recall

    Minority Report

    The Adjustment Bureau

    Paycheck

    Screamers

    Impostor

    The Crystal Crypt

      A Scanner Darkly, which is about someone losing himself to psychodelic drugs was very much autobiographical.

      Paycheck

      The time travel thing with Ben Affleck was written by the same guy as Blade Runner and Total Recall? Whoa.

      I guess I’ll also have to see Imposter and The Crystal Crypt; they’re the only two on that list I’ve not seen or even heard of before now, but everything else was pretty cool.
