Agency Director: You think this guy Starker is nothing? You're right! He is nothing!He gets nothing out of life so he fixates on some trinket and decides it's precious. It's ridiculous. But it's dangerous. There are over a billion losers out there who all want to believe they're something. Some guy says he found the answer? That's how it starts. Religion. Health food. Aerobics. Pantyhose. Anything... Everything to distract them from the fact that they're bored, meaningless, impotent nothings waiting to die. Your job is to watch the fixations. Where do they come from? Some guy wants to make a buck. That's okay. That's productive. But there are whackos out there. Whackos! Guys so lost in a dream, they don't care about anything. Not food, not money, not sex. Nothing! One idea... one fixation from one whacko can fuck up everything! Look at Christ. Oh! Now Christ needs a car, a wife, a steady job. That's okay. That's productive. But when he was first out Christ created abstinance, disarray, squalor. It took four hundred years to fix that mess!

I only recommend seeing this film if you appreciate non-mainstream movies. It's not as disjointed as Liquid Sky or as fanciful as Forbidden Zone. The original plot is very easy to follow. There's A LOT of subtle humor.
Here's a quick summary of the plot if you are completely lost: A big-brother type government keeps tabs on everyone in society. Suddenly a new person appears and there's no data on him (he appears insane). He may or may not be the second-coming of Christ. The over-cautious government goes into a frenzy to find him and discover his true motives. The ruler is also obsessed with immortality.
Some scenes are frantic while others are completely low-key. We follow the lead character as he encounters all different kinds of people in society.
I didn't need my consciousness altered to enjoy the film, but I know that some of my friends felt that helped.
Split was also filmed around Santa Cruz and San Francisco.
