Basically everything I can recall being told in D.A.R.E program classes (war on drugs era propaganda taught in public schools in the USA) was utter nonsense and fabricated bullshit. After actually having personal experience with most of the substances they vilified, none of the effects - good or ill - are what I was taught in that ridiculous program.
On the contrary, some of the fear tactics they used made me curious to investigate on my own. The breathlessly scared rural teacher describing the mind bending effects that “magic mushrooms” was supposed to have sounded fascinating to teenage me. In reality, they are very fun and therapeutic to use, but nothing like the wild Alice in Wonderland mind journey they made it sound like it would be.
Creation of the Gods was awesome, IMO.
According to Wikipedia, it’s “the most ambitious and expensive Chinese production ever made.” If you like epic fantasy like LotR or GoT, then you should definitely give this movie a try.
The second in the trilogy came out in January, but I haven’t had time to watch yet. Looking forward to it though!
