BBC program Omnibus features Nigel Finch's 50-minute 1978 documentary of Hunter S. Thompson and Ralph Steadman, with cameos by John Dean, Brian Doyle & Bill Murray, Ray Romano, & probably other known entities I missed.
Titled "Fear And Loathing In Gonzovision" at the beginning and "Fear And Loathing On The Road To Hollywood With Dr. Hunter S. Thompson And Ralph Steadman" at the end.
Deutschland, if you still can't watch it, tis a sad day indeed. Lawyers own your country.
And that's the way everyone seems to like it. :(
Speaking of copyright, I replaced Dylan (worldwide blocking) with Shatner at the end to avoid the strike, but UMG bots are relentless.

Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favour of fair use."
I own no rights or make any profit from this video, as it's only for educational purposes and to make people aware of Hunter S. Thompson and Ralph Steadman.

Sloppy reporting by Finch: HST was not a member of the Hells Angels, just rode with them. If you already knew, now you don't have to comment. ;) music at 18:25 - "Spem In Alium" by Thomas Tallys (unknown recording - ask the BBC)

@@landwirtschaft2116 Taverner doesn't seem to have any published recordings of Spem before 1978, when the documentary was produced. Also, this particular piece requires an unusual choral setup (40 voices!) & I found most performances sound very similar outside of room acoustics, mic quality etc. Of course, who knows what BBC has hiding in its vaults, so I give you a distinct "MAYBE". :)

Mainstream media find so many ways to dismiss dissenting voices, he swears, he takes illegal substances, he twitches, he looks strange and many people let them take this judgmental stance on their behalf when in actuality if they saw the real personality of many politicians Hunter would be looking pretty good at that point, he knew this too but they knew he was easily dismissed or he would have been shut up a long time ago.

@KeyonSumner 9 жыл бұрын

Infinite Paths It was actually written only the day after the attacks on the 12th. It's an amazing piece. "The towers are gone now, reduced to bloody rubble, along with all hopes for Peace in Our Time, in the United States or any other country. Make no mistake about it: We are At War now - with somebody - and we will stay At War with that mysterious Enemy for the rest of our lives. It will be a Religious War, a sort of Christian Jihad, fueled by religious hatred and led by merciless fanatics on both sides. It will be guerilla warfare on a global scale, with no front lines and no identifiable enemy. … We are going to punish somebody for this attack, but just who or what will be blown to smithereens for it is hard to say. Maybe Afghanistan, maybe Pakistan or Iraq, or possibly all three at once. Who knows? Not even the Generals in what remains of the Pentagon or the New York papers calling for WAR seem to know who did it or where to look for them. This is going to be a very expensive war, and Victory is not guaranteed - for anyone, and certainly not for anyone as baffled as George W. Bush. All he knows is that his father started the war a long time ago, and that he, the goofy child-President, has been chosen by Fate and the global Oil industry to finish it Now. He will declare a National Security Emergency and clamp down Hard on Everybody, no matter where they live or why. If the guilty won’t hold up their hands and confess, he and the Generals will ferret them out by force."

"Always the crazy ones were discussed with hidden interest. Some were mocked outright, and others were affectionately referred to with lines like “she’s a bit different” or “he’s a bit out there”. Whatever the case, it seemed most people had a subconscious fascination for the alternative mind. People would stand back and observe them as if they were a rare species - some kind of exotic bird with pink feathers. Mostly they fascinated me because they were the creatures who had jumped the fences of normality; they were the ones who hadn't subscribed to the current version of sanity which helped us all enjoy small-talk down the pub. To me that was a liberating quality I couldn’t help but envy. Without being shepherded on the farm of conventional thought, you were free to invent yourself and be whatever you wanted to be. And what was more desirable than that? In a world that said the winners were the rich people, or the famous people, or the good-looking people, to me it was the crazy ones - the people living life on their own terms - who were life’s greatest success stories"

I can’t remember the exact video I saw but it was Hunter’s first wife talking about the only two times she saw him cry. Once was about a dog(which goes to show Hunter was a dog weirdo which is awesome) and the second time was when he was describing the police action taken during a civil rights protest he was at. Not only does it say a lot about his true character as a man, but just a lot about how much personal freedom and equal rights meant to him. What really saddens me is what he talks about in this documentary, how people just always see him as the drunk drug addict crazy psycho character. In reality he was so much more than that and the more digging you do the more you realize how much of a patriot of freedom this guy really was. He described Acosta as that famous quote we all know, one of gods own freaks of however it goes. What’s truly ironic is how much that quote about Acosta might as well be him talking about himself and I don’t think he ever realized it. As Henry Rollins once said “A leopard doesn’t know they have spots, they’re too busy being a leopard.”

41:22 This part of the interview is really enigmatic to me. It's interesting to think about to what extent Thompson's personality is influenced by the character he's created, and vice versa. I really feel bad for him, because he never seemed truly satisfied with who he was as a person... I don't know, perhaps I'm projecting at this point. He really was a gem, though.

I think storytellers across many mediums can learn from HST in his method of vividly describing his subjective experience and perceptions instead of being weighed down by a detached point of view. "I don't understand film, thats why I want to learn about film. I think the technology is not up to the lever we have to get to portray reality"...So true and ahead of the times in the discussion of 'truth' and documentary film. Not my original idea but I agree that the most truthful documentaries are focussed on a single person's emotions and perceptions of events.

@jimbojankerson5610 2 жыл бұрын

I noticed his comment about technology as well. I then thought about today's tech and how he realized cameras and mics needed to be micro in order to conceal them to catch authentic human nature. Once one sees everything as it is they can see everything as it will eventually be or as it should be.
