Default Re: Fear and Loathing....

This movie is somewhat true story of Hunter S. Thompson going around Las Vegas on binge of many different drugs, and you see a glimpse of all the hallucinations he experiences. It can seem weird but the scenes become so classic for me now because I see them as so funny.

If you saw real life interviewes of Hunter S. Thompson, you will see Johnny Depp has his character down cold. He even stayed with Thompson for 6 weeks getting screwed up with Thompson on his ranch in colorado, shooting guns, and taking unknown types of drugs.

I guess the best way to handle the film is try not to take it seriously.

Del Toro gained about 45lbs in weight to play his role of Dr. Gonzo.
