Beautiful, moving film.
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
This is a classic 1960s anti-drug propaganda film that a lot of us were shown in middle school or high school. A girl is over her friends house tripping on acid, and for some odd reason she decides to go downtown and get something to eat. She buys a hot dog, and puts it up to her mouth when all of a sudden it starts to scream. She looks down at the hot dog and it has a face on it! (amusingly, the hot dog with the face on it was an old 60s-era troll doll) The hot dog begins to tell her that he has a family to support. She realizes that this is just a hallucination, so she puts it in her mouth and bites down. BUT NOOOO. That only makes it worse. It screams REALLY, REALLY loud. So she slams it on the ground and curb-stomps it. She realizes she murdered it and runs off screaming.The entire video is made up of still images and the typical hippie-era "clashing liquid" backgrounds. The hot dog screaming sounds like it was made with a vocoder and sped up with a tape recorder. It's creepy and unsettling yet hilarious at the same time. Good for a laugh.
LSD: Case Study (1969) is another one of your anti-drug films that they showed middle school kids. This time it's about the evils of acid (a.k.a. LSD). A pretty young white girl is hanging with her new friends from high school. They drop several doses of acid and party all night long. The girl decides to get something to eat. When she receives her hot dog she's beginning to have a bad trip. She imagines that her hot dog is a little jewel troll. The hot dog also talks to her pleading with the girl not to eat her. Freaking out from a bad trip, she tosses the hot dog and runs away whilst her friends yuck it up. I want some of that good stuff!Recommended for comedy relief.
