1 William's game appears out of thin air in the movie (the name of the original author)
2 William's game is to make the writer's muse hold a cup, and then the writer kills his muse with a gun, the reason why he is a writer The muse is because the writer himself said "I can't write without Joan". Of course this game may be hitting the cup, but the writer kills his wife every time.
3 A writer can't suppress the will to write, (since he was ten years old, he stopped writing because he was tired of the so-called orthodoxy.) But when the bug appeared, he must kill the muse and start writing.
4 Muse is the source of inspiration for writers, but this kind of inspiration is orthodox, whether to hit the cup or kill the muse, choose through this game, the first time the writer chooses in a hurry, or rather unconscious, or the muse Betrayed the writer, and the writer embarked on another creative path from the first time.
5 The writers in the film chose to write in modernity, which is accompanied by self-destruction, abandoning the stereotype and writing under the condition of being unable to write.
6 Finally the writer will find another "Joan"
7 and play William's game again.
8 "Eradicate all reason and that's my point" "It's Kafkaesque excitement that feels like a bug"

    A film adapted from a novel without clues, without narrative and without plot. It seems that there are some metaphors and why "The Naked Lunch" is so "chaotic", in fact, William Burroughs himself has explained it very clearly: all a writer can write is what he is conscious of when writing, without deliberately fabricating stories, Plot, coherence..., there are deficiencies while directly recording some areas of mental activity..., not providing entertainment for people. The author shows readers a hellish world in the eyes of a drug addict, absurd , degenerate and rotten to the point of shocking. Burroughs said: "The drug virus is the number one public health problem in the world today. That's what 'Naked Lunch' describes, so it must be savage, obscene, disgusting. Illogical, bizarre, horrific , lock broken, messy, rotten.

    At first I thought it was a movie about aliens, but then I found out that it was actually about writing. The subject matter is like eight and a half books, and the expression is better than that of Barton Funk. Sure enough, art and drugs are hard to separate.

Naked Lunch quotes

  • Hank: See, you can't rewrite, 'cause to rewrite is to deceive and lie, and you betray your own thoughts. To rethink the flow and the rhythm, the tumbling out of the words, is a betrayal, and it's a sin, Martin, it's a sin.

  • Bill Lee: Exterminate all rational thought. That is the conclusion I have come to.
