Cinema Under the Influence: How Movies Get High on Vimeo


When a drag appears in a movie, the expression "the inside of the head shifts to another dimension" is drawn in various expressions.


For example, the three people floating in the air with the following images are not actually floating in the air, but a representation to symbolically depict three drag experiences.


A grin of smile is often used as expression of people who have become "high" by dragging.




Drugs suck from the nose ... ...


Things to smoke like cigarettes


Something that drains liquid in the mouth


And there are some patterns, such as those using syringes.


"How to use drugs" in movies is mediocre, but the director's attempt to "how emotions change with dragging in visuals and sounds" is worth a look.


If you look at the movie, the viewer is the "what will in any state in the use of drugs", you can experience even without the drag. movies"Hit Las Vegas"Johnny Depp plays Raul Duke has a scene that will be high at LSD,Terry GilliamThe director had never experienced LSD before filming the film.


Raul's vision while working, taking drugs shakes with the graff ... ...


The ivy which should be the pattern of the carpet is entangled with the person's foot.


The mouth of a woman is unlikely large.


On the other hand, Raoul who saw from a third-person perspective walks with a strange movement different from usual. Director Gilliam has drawn "LSD experience" by creativity rather than actual experience, but such a way of drawing is possible because Gilliam cooks "a subjective experience" experienced by drugs "And" How strange it looks from the outside "understand how they are involved.


Even scenes of different movies are drawn scenes that are high by dragging ... ...


The scene where the following women dance on the stage is like the appearance of "drag user viewed from the outside", and what is going on inside the woman is not drawn visually.


Film director will communicate with viewers through "image". A superior director can operate images and sounds as much as possible and make it possible for viewers to experience what the characters are experiencing.




In the movie that drew a drag experience there is something that makes the audience laugh ......


There are things that scare you.


However, in addition to that, "Drag" can be used as a trigger for various stages. "Drag" in the movie is also taking the audience into a new movie experience.


Using 'drag', filmmakers can adventure the world of 'unconscious' of people. In order to depict the inner world of people, they are not caught in the limitations of the real world such as movement, speed, color, sound. Therefore, among movies that dealt with drugs, there is also a "art work named movie" that attempts to express "mental state" that can not be expressed by words.


This is "in the world of painting and photography"SurrealismIt is the same thing that tried.


Surrealism searches for subconscious or unconscious, such as subconscious or unconscious, methods to express things that can not be expressed. Some directors who often draw drug scenes in movies use the surrealism technique to draw human unconsciousness.


Also, as one of the directors who draw "subjectivity" of drug experience in movies,Martin ScorseseI have a director. Scorsese is also a person who demonstrates creativity in how to draw drugs in movies.


In Scorsese's movie, Leonardo DiCaprio who overdosed drugs loses motor function ... ...


Jonah HillExperience the New World by using LSD.


Nicolas Cage will witness Iguana on the coffee table for some reason.


And one of Brubaker's favorite drag scenes is a movie "FlightOne scene in the. Before the character ingests drugs, the camera shows people from the very edge of the table ... ...


As people raise their faces by sucking drugs from their noses, the camera sharply rises. I can understand that the mood has improved at a stretch by camera work. This can be seen from about 5 minutes 22 seconds of the movie published by Brubaker.


Also,"Train spotting"...


When a person lands on the floor ......


Every carpet, the floor will sink steadily. This is a brilliant illustration of how heroin will affect the user. This scene can be watched around 5 minutes 34 seconds of Brubaker's movie.


And the third favorite is "Starting around 5 minutes 45 seconds"Midnight car boy". This movie was made in 1969, but it says that "filmmakers do not use words and express how strong emotions are conveyed to the audience."
