A Scanner Darkly

It's free on Youtube for now.


I think the chameleon outfits will be real in about 20 years.

Also, even if you wore a chameleon outfit, machines could analyze your biometrics (height, posture, repetitive body poses, word choices) to determine your true identity.

This movies great, can't believe I hadn't heard of it before. Thanks Funkervogt.

I wonder if people will adopt hyperegimented movements and be mutes in public to avoid identification. Imagine a bunch of stiff people in chameleon suits walking around using super basic sign language to avoid identification.

This is indeed an interesting and thought provoking movie. Especially given its animation style. Glad to see it mentioned here.
