Acid in the movie give a way out for our curiosity about what it feels like taking the drugs. Through the visual effect, we can see the distortion and illusion. That's why I always like seeing this kind of movie, to free my imagination and escape from the normal boring world.
Lots of movies talking about rock'n'roll, and of course, acid. Transpotting is the one, Requiem For A Dream is another, and Taking Woodstock.
The first one is my favorite of all time, not only because of the director Danny Boyle and the actor Ewan McGregor, but because of the positive side at the end of the movie. It gives hopes to every one who is not going upward then. Besides, the match of heroin overdose and the tune of Perfect Day in the movie is the classic. I always feel happy after seeing Transpotting. No special reason, it can arouse my positive thinking when I'm down.
If Transpotting is positive, then Requiem For A Dream is negative. It talks about addicted young people doing illegal trade for more heroin. In the end, the forearm of role is cut for saving his life. And all these are caused by drugs. I think this movie is kind of frightening and warning people don't do drugs. But I have to say that the theme tune by Paul Oakenfold is awesome.
Compared to the other two, Taking Woodstock is neither positive or negative. It just talks about music, peace, ideal and love. Again, the movie gives me a way out of the current competitive capital life. I think the peace in the movie is so good, but on the other hand, I also doubt that the so called peace is another illusion of LSD. Anyways, the movie is worth to see in the theater, if you're a music lover.
