	Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)
		IMDb > Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)
		During the scene in which Duke is tripping on adrenochrome, he mutters, "La llama es un quadrupedo." This is a quote from a sketch in "Monty Python's Flying Circus" (1969).
		Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a psychedelic comedy, but also an astute piece of literature-cum-political science on a period in American history that was just really strange, thus reflected by its creator.

	Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas
		Within minutes, it is clear that “Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas” is one of the most radical, subversive, and traumatic films ever made about two hippies who missed the jump off the flower power train.
		Their main objective in Las Vegas is to cover the events of the “Mint 400”, a local off-road motorcycle race in the desert, but the tour quickly turns into a series of manic horror trips when both of them have bad trips and
		Unlike other films depicting the era, “Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas” is still very psychedelic, but never to the point that it turns into endless orgiastic, flashy, unwatchable kaleidoscopes.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas" review (1998) director, stars
		A pre-ordained cult flick, Raoul Duke's drug-enduced Vegas adventures are probably safer to enjoy in the privacy of your own home, where you can play along without hurting anyone.
		Over-emulating a bad drug trip with fish-eye camera lenses, Dutch angles and hallucinogenic special effects, "Fear and Loathing" is mostly hyperactive moments of spiked, random ramblings, spells of lurching humor and lethargic patches of complete boredom.
		But beyond its few deft asides about the synthetic atmosphere that was taking hold in the country at the time ("The place reeked of high grade Formica and plastic palm trees," Duke observes), "Fear and Loathing" is largely a bohemian rumination on a Cheech and Chong movie.

	fear and loathing in las vegas
		The subtitle of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Hunter S. Thompson's classic work of Gonzo Journalism, is "A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream," and that's the key to appreciating both the book and Terry Gilliam's astonishing film version.
		The great rebel Terry Gilliam is ideal for this material, and he approaches Fear and Loathing as a sort of extension of the odd little cut-out animations he used to do for Monty Python.
		Fear and Loathing is about the ways American men sublimate sexual lust -- through idiotic, punishing sports, or firearm worship, or fascism (Duke also -- hilariously -- covers a narc convention).

		However, he manages to bring Fear and Loathing to life though some mildly coherent scenes that remind us all, that no matter how bad things are, it’s occasionally quite funny to watch people who are extremely high on drugs.
		Fear and Loathing is also peppered with quite a few hip cameos that include Tobey Maguire, Gary Busey, Cameron Diaz, Lyle Lovett, Flea (from the Red Hot Chili Peppers), Christina Ricci, Penn Jillette, Harry Dean Stanton, Mark Harmon, and Ellen Barkin.

	HD DVD Review: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas \| High-Def Digest
		Then there are movies like 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,' which seems to take no position at all, instead simply depicting a few days in the life of two very, very fucked-up individuals, and letting us decide what to make of it.
		It's 1971, and the pair are on their way to Las Vegas to cover the events of the "Mint 400", a local off-road motorcycle race in the desert.
		At first glance, 'Fear and the Loathing in Las Vegas' may seem a strange choice to hit HD DVD so soon after the format's launch -- it's not a new release, it wasn't a box office blockbuster, nor is it a spectacle-laden action extravaganza.

		The original cowriter and director of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was Alex Cox, whose earlier film Sid and Nancy suggests that Cox could have been a perfect match in filming Hunter S. Thompson's psychotropic masterpiece of "gonzo" journalism.
		During the course of a trip to Las Vegas to cover a motorcycle race, they ingest a veritable chemistry set of drugs, and Gilliam does his best to show us the hallucinatory state of their zonked-out minds.
		It shows Vegas as the dark side of the American dream, with all the slot jockeys (or whatever Hunter S dubbed them) trying desperately to have that one final fling at success, whatever that really means.

		The form that reached apotheosis in "Armies of the Night" reaches the end of its rope in "Fear and Loathing," a chronicle of addiction and dismemberment so vicious that it requires a lot of resilience to sense that the author's purpose is more moralizing than sadistic.
