Depp wasn't stealing Thompson's soul; he was being entrusted with it.

I grew up in the late ‘60’s-early ‘70’s and have been a fan of HST’s ever since. Johnny nailed Hunter and to this day still carries a little Hunter with him. Fear and Loathing is Hunter’s Great Gatsby. An homage to a lost period of America. I miss Hunter and those far away times.

H. S. Thompson is probably one of my favorite Authors to learn about and get to study also probably just one of my favorite authors for his style and ability to storytell while also keeping you entertained and often shocking you every once in a while! an absolute legend

I knew of the book from the 70s. I later read the book. Then I saw the movie. Mr Depp did a wonderful portrayal in the movie. Mind boggling! I believe there is a little of Mr Thompson in Captain Jack Sparrow. 😂. Thank you for this presentation, very informative. The Atomik sends. Peace ✌. 😊

This was absolutely fantastic. I can't have asked for a better mini-doco about this. Thompson's/Depp's relationship has always been something I have found very interesting, and this is the perfect summary of it. Well done!!!!!

My favorite movie and a pitch perfect performance by Depp. I’ve seen the movie at least 100 times

I didn’t know Depp went to these lengths to portray HST. What a fun and great movie that’s makes one reflect on his own days of chaos and exploration. I need to watch it again soon.

Hell yea I’ve been wanting more videos about the backstory of this movie. This one was really good and covered a lot of stuff I haven’t heard

This is the best video on this movie

fantastic video. thank you.

Please please please please please please please please drop more videos , don't matter what it is, your channel is so important to us cinema heads ❣️

I like how epic the soundtrack of this video is

This was freaking awesome!! ❤ I wonder if it was this wild when depp played Hunter again in the rum diaries

This is one of, if not THE best video you have done. In my humble opinion, of course.

Cannot express how much watching this film on Lsd when I was young influenced my life

I have a deep admiration for this particular film, which I had the pleasure of watching numerous times during my teenage years in the early 2000s. It was a time of exploration and experimentation for me, as I dabbled with various substances. The film, however, provided more than just entertainment; it offered a truly captivating and immersive experience. As I entered my mid-20s, my curiosity led me to delve further into the world of this film. I sought out the book, the audiobook, and even recordings related to it. I wanted to fully immerse myself in the story and gain a deeper understanding of its themes and characters. It was during my late 20s that I found myself in Las Vegas for a convention I had no intention of attending. I was accompanied by my own version of Dr. Gonzo, embracing a wild and reckless spirit. In a state of complete intoxication, I chose not to partake in the typical activities of the city's casinos. Instead, I indulged in the company of women and the allure of drugs, fully embracing the hedonistic lifestyle that the film seemed to embody.

Hunter S. Thompson was the best! He lived that life!! ( Raul Duke)

Was fkng Great! Loved this book !! Johnny absolutely nailed it!!

I love this channel so much. Thank you for your amazing work.

it was a fabulous movie and Depp did a perfect job.,

Jonney Depp is frikn AWWSONEE mann. But I feel noone prise the acting of Benecio Del Tora...he nailed this role which aleays does on his evry project

A most excellent documentary. I am certain that HST and JD would agree.

Bill Murray did it long before Johnny Depp did in a film called "Where the Buffalo Roam," you should check it out.

Johnny Depp, the many soul colors that are millions. As the lights and colors shine through the beautiful prisom of mulit colors and different aspects of his being Johnny Depps. No one can be defined as this or only that,' as i have and am learning from his very presence🌟🌟🌟.

Cool video. Subbed.

Honestly I don’t think Bill Murray ever lost that part of himself in a lot of ways looking back

GENIUS AND GOLDEN PIECE MY B!!!! Got my sub and like!!🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🍻🍻 Wish there was a piece like this on Trainspotting!! 1 & 2 are amazing films! Never have gotten to read the novel though!

One of my favorite ans most watched movies ever! The book aswell!

Nice video. Thanks x

Great job with this video. I love both of them.

Nice work..!!

Welcome to “Audit The Audit”

Niice work..!!

As incredible as Thompson was his style of journalism, which coming from a singular person is refreshing and can yield some incredible insights, seems to have infected the practice at the corporate level. Everyone who calls themselves a journalist now makes no attempt at objectively reporting events. Everyone injects themselves into the story in an attempt to noth satiate their ego and to influence the way those events are thought about. It's to the point to where you jave to question everything about the way any event is reported in an attempt to get to the truth. This sort of thing is fine for a character like Thompson, but not for a news network who reports daily on the events of the world.

Pure gold

Best movie ever.

Dude ur @audit the audit on yt, that’s cool asf you do both these channels. Big ups 👍👍

Ive read the book 25 years ago on 5 grams dried hawaiian and Purple Haze that was fun but its not so easy to read when all the letters are moving .😂😂 Later ive seen the Film they came close to the novel but a lot of things are missing. You did a great job with this Video. So turn on tune in drop out ❤❤❤

Norm MacDonald would have also done the role well I imagine.

glad my life story was so well documented perfect vid

Fucking fantastic video. That's literally all I can say. There is no better video made about Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Nice

I hope one day you uncover the development of X-MEN movie. There's a lot of unused script and my favorite is Andrew Kevin Walker version, the X-Men are Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Ice man, Angel and Wolverin. They fight Brotherhood of Mutant (Magneto, Toad, Sabertooth, Blob, Juggernaut) in the island of Manhatan. It's like power ranger story in the Point of View of Sixth Ranger.

Beleive Hunter had few rare sober moments😮😊

It would be interesting to see how many other character actors got involved with who they are portraying, and what that involvement looked like. I am only referring to living characters, such as this scenario, and how that relationship was between the two during the process, as opposed to the joker or such characters. Another interesting thing is how the man was admired, and how many people in recent times have had such an epic memorial send off, as well as an impact on another person/persons, that they are willing to pony up millions of dollars, for an insane vision that you had conjured up for your final farewell. It would be hard to imagine that very many people at all, have had such an influence on another human being nonfamily member. (meaning not feeling obligated by other family members to do so. etc.) They wanted this for him.

Movie was a masterpiece❤😂😮😊

I was 15 when this movie came out.

The only other person who is as skilled at embodiment of someone using vocal stylings is Heath Ledger. When i first heard his joker voice i thought, my god, its Tom Waits. Then years later i read an interview with Heath who confirmed he drew inspiration from Tom Waits.

the Ray Ban Shooters are a critical part too, to the point Hunter let him have a pair of his own. He wore the yellow lenses in them and in 62 mm as well, and you can't get those yellow lensed Ray Bans anymore. You can get them in green lenses now, which is the type I have.

Hello there you should make a video about the history about unproduced Nickelodeon movies

Back when movies took time and effort and were considered art! Not like the sludge pipe that are movies today.

Psychonaut is the perfect way to explain the people not afraid to explore the deepest parts of the mind with the use of psychedelic’s

I don't think he ever shrugged Hunter off either. I think he's our most direct line

Depp was great but in an alternate universe I can see Joaquin Phoenix in this role and killing it.

17:56 Fake whiskey pull!

Let's be real, Terry Gilliam borrowed a lot from the aesthetic style pioneered by Oliver Stone and cinematographer Robert Richardson for The Doors, Natural Born Killers, and U-Turn.

You sure like adjectives

21:57 is this Epstein?

How do you have job? It insane you make money on worthless nonsense. Unbelievable.
