After watching the movie, you will find that there is no search at all in "Casino Scenery Painting", some are just confusion and confusion, as the line in the movie says, "We just want to escape this carnal reality, this filthy The era of the savior, 1971." The film brought all the chaos contained in the American hippie spirit to the screen, coupled with Gilliam’s own unconstrained imagination, was vividly performed by Duke’s character, fantasy and reality. Nightmare and reality, exaggeration and magic, I am afraid that there is no movie in this world that can better describe the psychedelic situation after drug abuse. Therefore, "Casino Scenery Painting" does not have any shit American dreams at all. It is just Gilliam's acrimonious mockery of American society, or it can't be an exaggeration to set up a monument for hippies.
"Casino Scenery" is adapted from the autobiographical novel of the American legendary author Hunter Thompson, the founder of "Gonzo Journalism". Hunter Thompson was born in 1938. Thompson's youth experience is in the Beat generation, hippies. In rock music, there are of course psychedelics, drugs, marijuana and other decaying lives. Thompson has been committed to exposing the ugly and dark side of American society and politics for decades, and his unique and extremely killing writing style He has spared no effort in criticism and even scolding. He used multiple presidents as the poison in his writing. Nixon, Bush, and Clinton were inevitably scolded by him. Of course, the so-called Gangzuo news is to express an attitude by combining one's own personal experience and fictitiously poisoning it. "Casino Scenery Painting" expresses Thompson's real life experience in a certain period of time.
The description in the movie is basically the same as Thompson in reality, because during the filming, Thompson and Depp lived together for four months. He taught Depp’s slurs and exaggerated walking with looped legs. So, we are in In this movie, I saw Johnny Depp, who has never been so ugly on screen: bald head, pointed-mouthed monkey gills, slurred speech, calf like dry wood, and wobbles like a poor worm when he gets up and walks. . . Gilliam spends 80% of his time in the movie showing the psychedelic scenes of Duke after taking drugs. Duke never stops muttering to himself like a neurotic, and the lawyer is endless vomiting, dirty, and ugly. , Darkness, magic, everything, bats, monsters, ape-man, Gilliam always has that fantastic idea that people can praise, and the psychedelic scenes described by Thompson in the book are vividly portrayed.
On February 20, 2002, Thompson, known as the most angry young man who spent his entire life in drugs, was at home while calling his wife and using a revolver to kill himself. "He may die earlier, but he uses quality It's not how long he lives to make up for his life..." This is an editor's evaluation of Thompson's lifestyle and writing methods when Thompson was a newspaper writer. After Thompson's death, his family followed his last words and put his ashes in a cannon and blasted away. The rumbling away is just like his vigorous psychedelic life. We can't understand the legendary writer better in words. Life, but we are fortunate to have a movie that can vaguely see its real life, so we should say thank you for this movie. (There is also a documentary about him: the father of Gang Zuo: Hunter Thompson's life and work Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr)
PS: In addition to Johnny Depp, the other cast members in the movie are also scary. Maybe you haven't seen Benicio de Toro with a 40-pound belly, dark circles under the eyes, curly hair and vomit in his mouth, and Toby Maguire with messy hair and long blonde hair. And Cameron Diaz who only showed up, Christine Ritchie.
