The movie entirely deals with the crazy drug trips that a journalist Duke and his lawyer Dr Gonzo have, while they travel on a road trip from LosAngeles to Las Vegas.
They take all sorts of drugs, acid, alcohol etc etc. and behave in the most crazy manner possible. There is no story plot as such, other than their series of psychedelic escapades.
Hits
- Some amazing acting by Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro. They are so natural and it looks as if they have been shot by hidden cameras when they were actually having these drug trips. While the bald Depp is understated and super-cool during his drug trips, Del Toro is totally hyper and boisterous.
- Such irreverent style of film making that is solely concentrated on the effects on human behavior after taking a truckload of drugs.
VERDICT
A once in a lifetime cult. Totally unique and daring film-making by Terry Gilliam.
