movie world

Based on Hunter S. Thompson’s novel of the same name, the film presents us with a freakish, frantic couple: the journalist Raoul Duke (Johnny Depp) and his attorney Dr. Gonzo ( Benicio Del Toro). Within the first few seconds as soon as the off-screen voice-over of Johnny Depp starts recollecting the events of the past day - the film establishes a completely singular mood. Within minutes, it is clear that "Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas" is one of the most radical, subversive, and traumatic films ever made about two hippies who missed the jump off the flower power train. They clearly know about the trouble they’re in, and yet decide it is better to get stoned than to face the reality of 1971, a time when "Love and Peace" had turned into "Satanism and Hate". The characters are looking for the American Dream and all they find is Nixon, the Vietnam War and an endless series of horror trips.

As the movie starts, Duke takes inventory of the stash in his trunk: "We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole multi-colored collection of uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls." Like a demented Boy Scout, he believes in coming prepared for the weekend. They are going to Vegas, after all. Sent on assignment to cover a dirt bike motocross in the Nevada desert, the pair spend their time acting like assholes, freaking out at the hallucinations all around them, trashing hotel rooms, and gawking at the straight world that, considering that it's Las Vegas, is sometimes even more freakish than anything their addled minds could conjure up alone.
