My reaction when I watched it 20+ years ago: Hallucinogens were definitely involved.

  > Hallucinogens were definitely involved. If these result in better movies: why not?

    I didn't say "not". But I do have addiction in family and I wouldn't wish this on other families.

      Hallucinogens have a reputation for many things, addiction is not one of them.

        Sure, but tell that to the addicted people.

    I have this theory that maybe governments should ban all the art that were produced by methods that are harmful for the artists, just to level the playing field. Similarly how athletes are not allowed to take a ton of pills, win everything, and then die in years. (Tho athletes are in a much direct competition with each other, than artists.)

The Australian businessman Aron D'Souza plans to do such a competition: > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Games According to the Wikipedia article, the first competition of the Enhanced Games is scheduled for May 2026.

      See here I am anti-authoritarian thinking that the government should hand out psychedelics to people making art.
