Questions from the movie Berlin Calling.
1. Drugs mean a way of escape for Ickarus. He seems to always crave his next high. He uses drugs while making music, and just as an everyday event.
2. His fans are taking drugs before and after shows. I think that they take them to get deeper into the music, and to relax while listening to techno. They take pills and cocaine. One type of pill may have been LSD, but I am not for certain.
3. I believe that Ickarus' subculture is into drugs, because they are relatively young and are rebellious. Techno is a new up and coming type of music, so I believe that they are rebelling along side with their new rebellious music movement.
4. In my home society, drugs are highly frowned upon. This is the complete opposite of the society in the movie. Techno is around my home society, but it is not nearly as important to the culture as it is in the movie.
5. I believe that the youth culture depicted in the movie could lower the standings of German industry. I believe this, because they are more concerned about the night life and drugs than they are with their careers and goals in life. They seem to live in the moment, and not look at the bigger picture in life. Ickarus does show a very respectable work ethic when he begins to finish his new album. Alice also shows a work ethic which is respectable, because she looks out for what is best for her record company.
6. I honestly have never viewed a 'cult movie' such as this before. I will be sure to view one after watching this great movie. If any movie I choose to watch is anything like Berlin Calling, I know I will be satisfied. Great movie, I am very glad that we watched it in class.
