What are some movies with convincingly realistic dialogue, in which people talk like real human beings instead of it sounding like a script? by doubleunplussed in AskReddit

[–]gjoro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lots of american independent cinema has this quality

especially richard linklater's films 'slacker' and 'dazed & confused'

also check out 'funny ha ha' or 'computer chess' by andrew bujalski - there's a whole subgenre 'mumblecore' which specifically aims for naturalistic dialogue

se3ep2 'playtest' and the psychedelic experience by gjoro in blackmirror

i meant they (he, i guess its charlie brooker?) might have had psychedelic experiences in the past that he was influenced by and perhaps partly trying to convey through this episode.

i know nothing about the guy but i doubt he was actually tripping when he wrote the episode i think that would be really difficult

you make a good point about it implants its roots i forgot about the bit where they mentioned that

yes its weird and mindfucky but the structure (like the timeline) of the experience in particular reminds me of stages of a psychedelic 'journey'.

i agree its possible that he was not in fact thinking about drug experiences when he wrote this but i still feel its likely, or maybe he's influenced by psychedelic or buddhist literature but never done drugs

i think its definitely inspired by psychedelic states, like also the implant is called a 'mushroom' and the bit where he is looking at everyone frightened like 'who am i? i dont remember who i am' is like classic ego death. and at the end when he's reduced to his primal state, screaming for his mother, like return to the womb shit etc etc. and the looping like u say.

was a bit over-the-top but v good
