關於 Richard Linklater 的意圖,
你應該是看到這段然後, 會錯意了吧.

"Originally, Richard Linklater toyed with adapting the Philip K. Dick novel Ubik but stopped early on because he was unable to obtain the rights and he "couldn't quite crack it."[3] He began thinking about A Scanner Darkly, another Dick novel while talking to producer Tommy Pallotta during the making of Waking Life. Linklater liked A Scanner Darkly more than Ubik and felt that he could make a film out of it.[3] According to Linklater, the challenge was capturing "the humor and exuberance of the book but not let go of the sad and tragic."[4] Linklater was not interested in turning the book into a big budget action thriller as had been done in the past because he felt that A Scanner Darkly was "about these guys and what they're all doing in their alternative world and what's going through their minds is really what keeps the story moving."[4] He wanted to keep the budget under $10 million so that he could have more creative control, remain faithful to the book, and make it an animated film."
