Wow what can I say about the movie fear and loathing in Las Vegas. This movie is probably one of the weirdest films that I have ever seen. The whole movie is about a journalist who is sent to Las Vegas to write a story about a motorcycle race. His name is Hunter S. Thompson was the real persons name but in the movie he was known as Raoul Duke. Then they soon drop the things they are doing to find out what the American dream is. They do this by taking so many drugs it’s unbelievable. This whole movie is basically these two guys high as heck and always on an acid trip. This movie really confused me and I was interested to see if it was based on a true story. With the research I found was that it was based off of a book written by Thompson and this was his Vegas trip that he went on. What he showed was that the life of drugs, sex and partying all the time was coming to an end. This is what I got from all this with the cops being there talking about drugs and how nothing went right while they were on drugs. Also, how they had that girl in the room with them that one time I think help them show that they can not force sex in young women. So with all that said I think that Thompson did a very good job with his book because it was made into a movie and he wrote about real life things which I think really keeps the readers attention. Like I said though I do not think that this movie was the best movie in the world do to it was so darn confusing. If I would have not looked up details and the story behind the movie I would have go nothing from the movie.
