I have checked the information and said that this is a work adapted from a Gang Zuo news report written by Hunter S. Thompson. But to be honest, this kind of explanation is brought into the movie and the plot logic is inexplicable and incomprehensible. I think it's better to regard it as a personal biographical film with Thompson as the first point of view. And the original film also implicitly involved this idea many times, such as:
1. The manager of a high-end hotel has been forwarding a letter called Thompson to Duke for processing.
2. In addition, Duke met himself (an old man) when he imagined that he was in the Matrix bar. Please watch his dress carefully. In fact, it is the classic look of Thompson and duke in real life in the movie.
3. Duke talked to himself throughout the whole process and broadcasted everything he saw and what he thought and thought, which was exactly the same as the essentials of Gangzuo News.
The whole film immersively deconstructs the character in reality, Thompson, and then reconstructs a person like Duke in the film, so the plot is also weakened in this film.
Terry Gilliam took us to experience Thompson’s brain climax, but the whole film is insinuating about American history involving too many conceptual characters and events that were directly thrown out, and it did not directly promote the development of the plot, which is like never People who have watched Marvel movies come up to feed you a final battle. It is difficult for ordinary audiences to swallow. Indigestion is also an expected result, and it will inevitably become an excellent biopic for fans.
There is nothing to say about the psychedelic elements in it. They all exist to serve the above. Please consider whether it is pleasing or not.
