I got high from this film


Him always being high and smoking weed, the color, the music, the weird talk and the great acting actually made me extremely unfocused and I just couldn't follow the story without feeling very dizzy ... Am I alone of this or has anyone else experienced the same throughout the film?

Watching this flick made me feel like I just snorted Drano.


I'm not completely sure this was a good thing.

I get where you come from. The movie could be indeed intoxicating. It wasn't so much for me, mailny because I was consistently getting drunk while watching it. For me the "get high" movie is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Everytime I watch this movie I do not feel sober at the end of it. It just does something to you. And so does Inherent Vice I guess.

Can confirm.

Look forward to rewatching with a friend. ;)

Exactly the same hazy feeling -a totally mind-bending plot,superb Joachim Phoenix in maybe his best performance and those names..."Loosemeat" and "Flatweed"lol

That's exactly why this film is so brilliantly crafted

newbuch, I love certain parts of this film, but don't know if I really like it over all .

But yeah. I just happened to run across it on my computer, and watched some parts of it, and I was like "this film makes me feel good, but out of sorts, but comfortable, but on edge."

And I couldn't stop searching for my favorite parts, then getting sucked in for 20 minutes at a time. The music, the colors, the disction, it's just.... wow, maaannnnnnnn.... coool....

It's strange.
