For People Who Saw the Movie “a Scanner Darkly”?

Question by lame-o: for people who saw the movie “A Scanner Darkly”?
i didnt get it. Like why was “donna” wearing that suit. was bob taking the pills because he wanted to? or did the scientist performing an expirement on him with him knowing or with him not knowing??

Best answer:

Answer by cheechandchong1979
I got very confused at times.I think he took the pills cause he wanted to and got caught when they tested him with those pictures.But im probably way off

Answer by Amanda B
donna was an undercover cop just like bob. i think bob started doing drugs “willingly” to stay undercover and then because he was hooked which is exactly what his fellow officers wanted so that they could get a cop inside to bust the “rehab”/drug manufactures. they needed him to be really addicted and not know that he was on assignment in there so that there was no way to blow his cover and ruin the investigation.

Why Is the Film “Trainspotting” Called Trainspotting?

Question by viggo.blixen: Why is the film “Trainspotting” called Trainspotting?
I’m on the way to buy the book, having seen and memorized the film years ago. Having just ridden the AmTrak (American passenger rail) for 16 hours thru the midwest and grown up around freight rail, I am curious.

Internet research reveals that the book (& film) is named for a scene that didn’t make it into the film. Can anybody summarize this scene? Why on Earth is a film about heroin addiction named Trainspotting without the pivotal scene depicting the obsessive hobby? How do my Junk-riddled buddies relate to trains, other than taking a train to Tommy’s idealistic Scotland before he tries the junk?

Perhaps I should just read the book, no?
