Question answers:
- For Ickarus, the drugs provide him a way to release himself and let his creativity go free, because he believes he makes much better music while he is under the influence. Alice thinks he needs to clean up in order to make his album, but after she listens she realizes that it is really good and it was created by Ickarus while on drugs.
- Most of his fans are seen doing cocaine, and it is normally while they are listening to his music at a club. I think this would be because his music is for parties and clubs, and the people who are there to listen also want to party so they choose to do the same things he is doing.
- They focus on drugs because the drugs take them to a place where they can enjoy themselves the way they want to. Any consequences due to choosing that can be dealt with later, they are only concerned about the here and now.
- Heavy drug use is much more prevalent in the movie as compared to my experiences here. It is all relative of course, but I don't think there is as much public drug use in Central Minnesota as was depicted in the movie.
- I think the youth culture in the movie could change that because of the priorities that are seen. The people in the movie are more concerned about having a good time then the consequences that result from that choice. The work ethics of Ickarus and Alice are good, but in a different way. Ickarus works hard at his music, but doesn't give Alice proof that he is getting anything done. He keeps trying to convince her, something that he doesn't succeed with and he gets fired because of it. Thanks to Ickarus's girlfriend he gets his album produced.
- I can't think of any movies that are very similar to Berlin Calling
