Fear and Loathing Screenplay

Fear and loathing screenplay response

    "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" was one of Hunter S. Thompsons most talked about piece of literature. The screenplay starts off in a psychedelic road-trip across Western America where a Journalist and his Lawyer seek the "American dream."  With the help of there convertible trunk stash of drugs and alcohol, these two characters and there journey becomes incredibly fascinating.
    Raol Duke's job as a journalist, is to cover a motorcycle race for an article in his magazine. This task becomes over taken by the drugs he dabbles in, and his journey while on them. start becoming the real story. While Raol is at his hotel, and while he continues to trip on acid, he see's people turning into lizards, and eels, then dabbles in cocaine.
    Raol and Gonzo's paranoia remains consistent as they walk down the strip and do more drugs. At one point, Gonzo does a lot of acid and attempt to electrocute himself with a tape recorder while in the bathtub. Although this story often seem plot-less and drifted in directions that didnt seem to make sense,  believe this was an incredibly successful and well written piece of literature. It was a great example of the true, horrible, beautiful, and sad human conditions we all posses.
