Gonzo: If you ask whether Gonzo is news, then you have to start with what news is. Who can tell me what news is? Is it really objective and fair? If there is no undirected news, then Gonzo is even news—personalized news deconstruction and reconstruction, mixing facts and fiction, using personal experiences and emotions as themes in the first person to submerge events, satire, Humor, exaggeration, and even profanity, you don’t need to pursue objective and truthful, loose editorials. Who invented Gonzo? The bald Hunter S. Thompson, a lost generation of Beats, a world of entertainment to death, everyone from Hollywood, destination Las Vegas, to report on racing games, but turned into a journey of illusion, from the "medicine box" and Looking at the world in a tape recorder, what people fear most is being too sober.
Obituaries: After the death of Gonzo's father, his descendants were also Gonzo. The obituaries in the newspapers were all about his obsession with drugs and guns. At this time, the "New York Times" stood up and spoke: In his career, Mr. Thompson has repeatedly guided the public to focus on the key to the problem. This situation usually appears during interviews and in his personal reports. He seemed to be saying that what he was reporting was not about guns and drugs, nor was it destroying sidewalks and lawns. What he had to do was grab the public's attention and focus it on the negligence of the leadership and the hypocrisy of society...I think For Thompson, this would not please him either. An obituary is the easiest thing to create wishful thinking, because no matter how it is summed up, the other party will not come back all the way and grab your collar to warn "Boy, this is not possible!" So, remember to pass along when you write your suicide note. I even wrote my own obituary, but I don’t need to consider this issue in China.
Take off: Mescaline is a kind of plant alkaloid; LSD (Lysergids) stands for lysergic acid diethyl amide; ethylether is used to kidnap and seduce people and can make people fly; the active ingredient of marijuana is Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the content of ordinary hemp cigarettes is about 2%... Tell me these are Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Andy warhol... Of course there is Hunter S . Thompson.
Outfit: Jungle hat, light-colored pilot's mirror, Hawaiian shirt, color-blocked baggy jacket, multi-pocket shorts, white tube socks, flat shoes... Thompson's iconic outfit became one of the major shows in 2006. Kind of tribute, about the escape from the era of abundance, driving through the desert hinterland-going on vacation. Dr. Thompson has passed away. The society that emphasizes results and touches everything with the eyeball throws all the internalized experience on the road, leaving us with superficial memory and artificial historicism forever. The fear of Las Vegas is not a story. I hope that when I watch it, I have a numb cigarette on hand to make a spiritual journey.
Extra: Yesterday I learned that Guangxi Normal University Press will publish a novel of the same name for this movie in April, celebration~
