The pressure to achieve more, do more, and be more is part of being human - and in the age of Adderall and Ritalin, achieving that can be as close as the local pharmacy. No longer just a cure for excitable kids, prescription stimulants are in college classrooms, on Wall Street, in Silicon Valley...any place the need to succeed slams into not enough hours in the day. But there are costs. In the insightful Netflix documentary TAKE YOUR PILLS, award-winning documentarian Alison Klayman (Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry) focuses on the history, the facts, and the pervasiveness of cognitive-enhancement drugs in our amped-up era of late-stage-capitalism. Executive produced by Maria Shriver and Christina Schwarzenegger, TAKE YOUR PILLS examines what some view as a brave new world of limitless possibilities, and others see as a sped-up ride down a synaptic slippery slope, as these pills have become the defining drug of a generation.
看完真的特别想磕adderall....下次去见gp的时候问问.....不知道算不算纪录片的失败…想看硅谷和girls 了【。。。
三星偏上，片子最后的表态很重要，尤其是一个女孩说，她因此开始怀疑高等教育的意义，一群20多岁的年轻人，为了在一个班级拿到更高一点的成绩，每个人都要靠嗑药，靠宣布自己有 ADHD，这是很需要整个社会反省的问题。侧面也能看出，这就是一个病态的时代。
哎这些个药厂，有焦虑要上，没有焦虑制造焦虑也要上。时代精神了。
传说中的 Adderal...
