I accept the fact that this is sort of a cult film for the twenty something crowd. However, I cannot really explain it. 

/.../

Depp plays Raoul Duke, a Thompson inspired eccentric and drug addict/writer who travels with his psychopathic lawyer, Dr. Gonzo (Del Toro) to Las Vegas for psychedelic weekend. That is pretty much it. Drive, take drugs, get weirded out, take more drugs and make Timothy Leary style observations on life and more drugs. LSD, mescal and ether are used gratuitously just to disconnect one thought from another. The film is all apparently based upon the book based upon two trips to Las Vegas that Thompson took with his real attorney in 1971. I have little doubt the depictions in the book and the film are all pretty much accurate. The problem is I am asked to care in some way. I don’t. 

/.../

TMG never took any of the hallucinogenic drugs often politely referred to as “recreational drugs.” I was around plenty of obnoxious people that did though. Most of them died very young. Little is funny or inspirational about their lives. Thompson sort of glorifies it. I can say that I know well what it is like to see pink elephants attack your bedroom on horseback though. My mom used to give me a drug called Darvon to take after college soccer games for pain. I think Darvon is now banned in 37 countries because it turned hordes of college students into smart ass movie critics. 

/.../

I think most can easily skip this weird little film and try a heavy dose of Thompson on his more rational days in Puerto Rico with The Rum Diary.
