I wasn't able to ready any of the corse directed materials, instead i thought i would talk about A Scanner Darkly and the perceived powers of the mind in the film. The film is littered with altered realities due to the properties of a drug called substance D. Through this we can see the powers of the mind and what drugs can do to our perceived consciousness.
Their is this idea, that the private investigators wear this scramble suit and nobody ever knows who's on the inside, so their is this play between characters you think are users and characters you suspect might also be agents outside of their suites. This is one of the many ideas the film explores but its an interesting one, the thought of always looking over your shoulder never know why anyone is or who is watching you, pretty prevalent to todays world i think.
