Raoul Duke and his attorney Dr. Gonzo drive a red convertible across the Mojave desert to Las Vegas with a suitcase full of drugs to cover a motorcycle race. As their consumption of drugs increases at an alarming rate, the stoned duo trash their hotel room and fear legal repercussions. Duke begins to drive back to L.A., but after an odd run-in with a cop, he returns to Sin City and continues his wild drug binge.

The longer I’ve had an account on this app, the more I’ve tried to not just write something for every film that I log, but also to write some sort of serious appraisal or takeaway. To write something insightful. Film as a medium is so important to me that I feel the deep urge to be able to contribute to legitimate discourse around it in my own small way. The fact that things I post on here range from zero to a maximum of like… seven likes is irrelevant. It’s not about thinking people need to hear what I have to say, it’s about knowing I have something to say. Whether anyone reads/enjoys it or not is irrelevant. Film is a beautiful art form that I want to write about. Then I watch a film like this, and the whole thing unravels. I just finished watching Fear & Loathing (largely due to being on a bit of a Hunter S. Thompson kick lately), and it has delivered to me an experience unparalleled by any film I’ve seen since Beau Is Afraid. It may well have entered my top 10 list, and that’s at the very least. And yet I have nothing to say. Nothing insightful. Nothing important. Hell, not even anything funny. And I’m fine with that.

did i understand where the movie was going ? no, did i enjoy every second of it ? absolutely. Fear and Loathing in las vegas is a movie that doesn't take a second to stop, every shot is overloaded with anything it gets its hands on; endless sensless narrations, monkeys and spinning tables, drowned out hotel rooms, a tobey maguire, drugs in all shapes and forms, and colors, so many bright colors that it would hurt your eyes. all of that coupled to a camera that doesn't stop nor alligns itself, i got dizzy watching it and i'll do it again. chaos chaos and chaos captured with flair and style by one of my new fav directores Terry Gilliam and elevated by two imbecile performances from Jhonny Depp and Benicio del Torro who bounce off each other extremely well.
