Berlin Calling

In the movie Berlin Calling Ickarus is the main character who is a DJ and loves his music. Ickarus is addicted to the feeling of being high. He uses drugs on a daily basis and most of them are pills, cocaine, and meth. Ickarus wants to live an exciting life and drugs are his way of doing that. These habits turn into addictions and one bad pill almost even kills Ickarus but that doesn’t stop him from doing drugs.  Most of the young people are trying to fit in and they think that if they take drugs they will.  Most young people think that nothing truly harmful will hurt them. They think about the fun affects of drugs and not the harmful ones. In every society there will be people who do drugs, people who will be pressured into doing drugs, people who are in different about drugs, and the people who strongly feel against anything to do with drugs. The society that I grew up in most people frowned upon drugs but it didn’t stop a lot of people from doing them. In my home town the most popular drugs were pot and meth. Nobody had the connections in my little town to get cocaine at least not that I’m aware of. The huge differences are that Ickarus and his friends let drugs take over their lives. In my town people would do drugs to have fun or fit in while hanging out with people who do drugs, but drugs never stopped them from going to school or taking care of their responsibilities. Fads are always going to be changing from month to month. The youth generation will continue to change and there will always be people in the four groups that I previously discussed. Ickarus’s work ethic is basically that he loves his music, but he continues to blow off working on his new album that is coming out because he wants to get high. He eventually finishes and makes a very good album. Alice is Ickarus’s label director who ends up having to fire him because he freaks out and messes up her entire office. However, after she hears the album she decided to re-sign Ickarus because the songs are good and she wants to make money from it.
