A close up of an animated Keanu Reeves in A Scanner Darkly
The Big Picture The Matrix was a groundbreaking film for many reasons, as its breathtaking “bullet time” visual aesthetic, allusions to Greek philosophy, stylistic similarities to Japanese animation, and anti-Capitalist themes made it a breath of fresh air within the science fiction genre. However, it’s impossible to address the film’s legacy without mentioning the brilliant performance by Keanu Reeves as Neo.
A Scanner Darkly RAnimationCrimeDrama Sci-FiThriller An undercover cop in a not-too-distant future becomes involved with a dangerous new drug and begins to lose his own identity as a result. One of the qualities that made Linklater’s early independent films so groundbreaking is the presence of familiarity; even for those who didn’t necessarily grow up in a small town in Texas, there’s an element of how he characterizes the narrative of Slacker or SubUrbia that feels universal. This is a quality that he manages to surprisingly retain within A Scanner Darkly — the film expands on aspects of reality to create a version of the future that doesn’t feel that exaggerated.
'A Scanner Darkly' Utilizes Groundbreaking Animation Close The fact that A Scanner Darkly was a mainstream R-rated American animated film is in itself a novelty, as the medium is largely dominated by films geared at younger audiences. However, A Scanner Darkly’s differences with other science fiction thrillers are made more striking because of its style of “rotoscoping.” The animation technique involves tracing over live action footage with animation, creating a distorting visual effect.
