you know, I really liked Go the first time I saw it, cause it came out like a week after I rolled for the first time, so I was all about it.
It came out on dvd a month back, so I bought it. I've watched it countless times sicne then, and I just realized it's not really all that realistic. I listened to the commentary track, and the driector and editor go on to say how they've never done x, but have been told the openeing credits is a good representation. I'm sorry, except for the authentixc rave footage, it's not like any roll I've ever had. How can you acurately portray a situation when you've never expereinced it yourself? Number one rule of writing fiction. Well, maybe more like number 5...
Second, the pills. Pharmasutical grade, not the crunchy herbal rave shit?" Ok...The damn things were huge, too! I'm sure that was so they'd show up on screen better and to facilitate the storyline, but comeon...
But, it's better than nothing. I often just watch the credits and rave scene over and over again, casue they're at least close.
I unfortuantely missed the shwoing of acid hosue here in otown, but I still want to see it. HEard it was pretty good.
What E and the whole rave scene needs is a true to life movie that takes the subject matter seriously. That's what I'm endevouring to accomplish. I'm actually an aspiring scriptwriter, believe it or not. My spelling might suck, my dialogue's not as realistic and flowing as it should be and my structure is unorthodox, but believe me when I say my characters, settings and stroylines are quite strong. Product of an overactive imagination I guess. Anyways, I think the only one who can do this material justice is someone with experience in the scene, someone who understands and embraces it (for all it's good AND bad) and can tell its story in a subjective manner. That's what I'm going to take a stab at over the next couple of months, so I'll let you know how it turns out.
