November 1. 1, 1. January 1, 1. 95. Dick did not declare a major and took classes in history, psychology, philosophy, and zoology. Through his studies in philosophy, he believed that existence is based on internal human perception, which does not necessarily correspond to external reality; he described himself as "an acosmic panentheist," believing in the universe only as an extension of God.[1. After reading the works of Plato and pondering the possibilities of metaphysical realms, Dick came to the conclusion that, in a certain sense, the world is not entirely real and there is no way to confirm whether it is truly there.

This question from his early studies persisted as a theme in many of his novels. Dick dropped out because of ongoing anxiety problems, according to his third wife Anne's memoir. She also says he disliked the mandatory ROTC training.

The Golden Man, Dick wrote: Several years ago, when I was ill, Heinlein offered his help, anything he could do, and we had never met; he would phone me to cheer me up and see how I was doing. He wanted to buy me an electric typewriter, God bless him—one of the few true gentlemen in this world.

I don't agree with any ideas he puts forth in his writing, but that is neither here nor there. One time when I owed the IRS a lot of money and couldn't raise it, Heinlein loaned the money to me.

I think a great deal of him and his wife; I dedicated a book to them in appreciation. Robert Heinlein is a fine- looking man, very impressive and very military in stance; you can tell he has a military background, even to the haircut. He knows I'm a flipped- out freak and still he helped me and my wife when we were in trouble. That is the best in humanity, there; that is who and what I love.

Websitedetourfilm. Richard Stuart Linklater (; born July 3. American filmmaker, screenwriter, and actor.

Linklater is mostly known for his realistic and naturalhumanist films which revolve mainly around suburban culture and the effects of the passage of time. Some notable films of his include the observational comedy film Slacker (1. Dazed and Confused (1. Before Sunrise (1.

Before Sunset (2. Before Midnight (2. School of Rock (2. Waking Life (2. 00. A Scanner Darkly (2. In 2. 00. 2 he began filming Boyhood (2.

The film was premiered in 2. Linklater won the Golden Globe, Critics' Choice Movie Awards, and BAFTAs for Best Director and Best Picture. He also received his first nomination for the Academy Award for Best Director, along with nominations for Original Screenplay and Picture. In 2. 01. 5, Time magazine named Linklater one of the 1. Time 1. 00 list.[3]Many of his films are noted for their loosely structured narrative; two of his projects – the Before.. Boyhood – feature the same actors filmed over an extended period of years. He is also known for loyalty to his actors, having worked with Ethan Hawke and Matthew Mc.

Conaughey in many of his films. Early life[edit]Linklater was born in Houston, Texas, the son of Diane Margaret (née Krieger), who taught at Sam Houston State University, and Charles W.

Linklater, III.[4][5] He attended Huntsville High School in Huntsville, Texas, during grades 9–1. Hardware Full Movie Part 1. Bellaire High School in Bellaire, Texas for his senior year. As a teen, Linklater also won a Scholastic Art and Writing Award.[6] Linklater studied at Sam Houston State University (where he also played baseball),[7] until dropping out to work on an off- shore oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. He frequently read novels on the rig and, upon returning to land, developed a love of film through repeated visits to a repertory theater in Houston.

At this point, Linklater realized he wanted to be a filmmaker. He used his savings to buy a Super- 8 camera, a projector, and editing equipment, and moved to Austin, Texas. He was influenced by Martin Scorsese,[8][9]Robert Bresson, Yasujirō Ozu, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Josef Von Sternberg, and Carl Theodor Dreyer.[1. He enrolled in Austin Community College in the fall of 1. Since his early 2. Linklater has been a vegetarian. In 2. 01. 5, he explained the dietary lifestyle in a Boyhood- style documentary for PETA.[1.

Austin Film Society[edit]Linklater founded the Austin Film Society in 1. Lee Daniel. One of the mentors for the Film Society was former New York City critic for the Soho Weekly News George Morris who had relocated to Austin and taught film there. Morris had previously written articles on Leo Mc. Carey, Vincente Minnelli, George Sidney, and Douglas Sirk. Early directing[edit]For several years, Linklater made many short films that were exercises and experiments in film techniques. He finally completed his first feature, the rarely seen It's Impossible to Learn to Plow by Reading Books (which is now available in The Criterion Collection edition of his second feature, Slacker), a Super- 8 feature that took a year to shoot and another year to edit.

The film is significant in the sense that it establishes most of Linklater's preoccupations. The film has his trademark style of minimal camera movements and lack of narrative, while it examines the theme of traveling with no real particular direction in mind. These idiosyncrasies would be explored in greater detail in future projects. To this end Linklater created Detour Filmproduction (an homage to the 1.

Edgar G. Ulmer), and subsequently made Slacker for only $2. It went on to gross more than $1. The film is an aimless day in the life of the city of Austin, Texas showcasing its more eccentric characters.

Inspiration for Linklater's work was largely based on his experience viewing the film Raging Bull, Linklater told Robert K. Elder in an interview for The Film That Changed My Life.[1. It made me see movies as a potential outlet for what I was thinking about and hoping to express. At that point I was an unformed artist. At that moment, something was simmering in me, but Raging Bull brought it to a boil.[1.

While gaining a cult following in the independent film world, he made his third film, Dazed and Confused, based on his years at Huntsville High School and the people he encountered there. The film garnered critical praise and grossed $8 million in the United States while becoming a hit on VHS. This film was also responsible for the breakout of fellow Texas native Matthew Mc.

Conaughey. In 1. 99. Linklater won the Silver Bear for Best Director for the film Before Sunrise at the 4. Berlin International Film Festival.[1. His next feature, sub. Urbia, had mixed reviews critically, and did very poorly at the box office. In 1. 99. 6, Linklater lent his voice to the critically acclaimed animated feature Beavis and Butt- Head Do America. In 1. 99. 8, he took on his first Hollywood feature, The Newton Boys, which received mixed reviews while tanking at the box office.

In 2. 00. 3, he wrote and directed a pilot for HBO with Rodney Rothman called $5. The pilot deals with themes later examined in Fast Food Nation. In 2. 00. 4, the British television network Channel 4 produced a major documentary about Linklater, in which the filmmaker frankly discussed the personal and philosophical ideas behind his films. St Richard of Austin was presented by Ben Lewis and directed by Irshad Ashraf and broadcast on Channel 4 in December 2. UK. In 2. 00. 5, Linklater was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for his film Before Sunset, and was nominated for the same award with its sequel Before Midnight in 2. Many of Linklater's films take place in one day, a narrative approach that has gained popularity in recent years.

Slacker, Dazed and Confused, Tape, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, and Before Midnight are examples of this method. Two of his films, (A Scanner Darkly and Waking Life), used rotoscoping animation techniques. Working with Bob Sabiston and Sabiston's program Rotoshop to create this effect, Linklater shot and edited both movies completely as live action features, then employed a team of artists to "trace over" individual frames. The result is a distinctive "semi- real" quality, praised by such critics as Roger Ebert (in the case of Waking Life) as being original and well- suited to the aims of the film. Fast Food Nation (2.
