Why did R. Linklater create “A Scanner Darkly” as an animation?

What is a scramble suit?

In this work, there is a ``scramble suit'' where ``rotoscope'' is effective. It is a suit that completely covers the entire body from head to toe, and the appearance data of 1.5 million people is divided into small pieces and randomly projected on its surface. There is definitely someone who may be someone but is unknown to anyone. But I can't see it clearly. This suit is a symbol of the existence of an "undercover investigator" on the side of the establishment.

Drug addicts feel guilty and guilty, but they also become suspicious in order to stay high for longer. Always afraid of conspiracies and always suspicious of someone. If there are no people nearby, he becomes angry because he imagines that a celebrity on TV (not an acquaintance, of course) is tipping him off.

The figure of the ``scramble suit'' that appears in ``A Scanner A Scanner Darkly'' can be said to be the embodiment of the fears of such drug addicts.

It is also a symbolic figure of Arctor, who may be someone but has become unknown to anyone.

Normally, I would never doubt or be conscious of who I am, but due to the drugs that destroyed my mind and made me unable to draw the line between fiction and reality, I realized that the ``Arctor'' I thought was myself was none other than ``Arctor.'' He ends up being ordered to monitor himself, and loses track of who he is.

The scramble suit, in which ``the appearance data of 1.5 million people is divided into small pieces and randomly projected'', has made such an ideological and unstable state visible as it is, and it is the mental state of Arctor as it is. be.
