1. The drug mean to Ickarus as a solution to escape from any problem in his life. In the movie, Ickarus said that he used drugs for his relaxation. We can see in the movie it was more than relaxation. Ickarus used it for many purposes; entertaining with his friends, avoiding problems he faces by using drugs, and he using it for relaxation purposes. In his world, drug is part of his life when he addicted to it. It is hard for him to escape out of it because of his addiction.
2. Ickarus’s fans taking drug because they use it as part of their social life. They believe it is remarkable to have drug as part of their life in terms of entertaining, relaxing, and socializing. They used it whenever they need as it seen in the movie. Friends who become addict to drugs will use it frequently to relieve their addiction of drugs. Ickarus and his friends took drugs in their socializing activity where bars or pubs are the place inspiring them to take drugs. They are mostly teenager who are active, inspire, and eager to learn a new chapter of their life. In this case, they use drugs as an answer for their life experience. They took several kinds of drug such as Cociane, PMA, MDMA, Keta that are very dangerous and painful to health system.
3. Ickarus focus on drugs because he is lonely in his world. His mother died when he was young, and his father raised him along with his brother. He has minimal choices for his solution whenever he has problems so drugs are good solution for him. He think drugs could help him get out of problems and help him relieve his stress as well. Ickarus grew from family without mother so he has rough life with his father and brother. He chose the bar instead of school to learn for his life. Bars are a easily place to become drug user because of environment and atmosphere easily inspire to use drugs.
4. Compare to my home society, Thailand, many things are different. I could see teenagers in Germany could use drugs easily in bar than in my home society. Teenagers in Germany tend to have more freedom than teenagers in Thailand because the movie shows how German teenagers could go the bar with alcohol and sex. These elements are still prohibited for teenager in Thai society, but cultures accept from The Western World change Thai society into similar to the Western cultures. Briefly summarize that German culture is more open than Thai culture today.
5. No, I do not think only these teen could change the whole structure because some youth will focus on their goal in their life. I believe majority youth will follow along with social norms by attending school, college, and get a job. I think it is a nature of each generation that some youth will go off track, but they might change their attitude at the end to become productive member of their society.
Ickarus’s work ethics is focus on drug as a tool to help him get the work through. He has high motivation to make his work finish. He is also a strong working person who put lot of energy in his work.
Alice is a claim person when is come to work. She will be able to control herself whenever she faces with problems unlike Ickarus. She is much more cooperative with others in any situation.
The director is pretty ignorance and self-center. In the movie, she needs prove to see if Ickarus’s work is good. She is not easy lady to motivate as we can see a scene between Ickarus and her.
6. I think the Hangover and American Pie could be cult movies in the United States because they express culture of youth in the United States. American cult movies are very different from German because German cult movies are much more open to society such as sex, drug, and alcohol.
