This month’s What’s the Difference? from Cinefix covers Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
This month I’m just sharing.
Yep, that means I’ve neither read the book nor watched the movie.
Feel superior in the comments.
20 years ago a new generation was introduced to the peak of Gonzo Journalism with Terry Gilliam’s adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Really great filmmakers have tried and failed to bring the savage journey into the American Dream, so what makes Terry Gilliam’s version so successful? Time to get cracking and ask What’s the Difference?!

The movie glorified drug use and Being unsafe during sexual encounters. I imagine the book is much the same. I never read it or any of his books.

Yeah, I wasn’t interested in the material either. But I do like discussions of how books are adapted, and this was clealy not an easy one to get right. Gilliam was the right person for the job.
