The writer's heart was eaten by a dog

The hearts of writers are eaten by dogs, because this is an era of entertainment to death. The hearts of writers are kind and weak, and inadvertently, they gather in this suffocating flow of people, and it is difficult to extricate themselves. Smell of ink.
It is said that Johnny Depp and Hunter S. Thompson were good friends. After the great writer committed suicide, the popular famous movie star put his ashes in the barrel of the cannon, and the great writer died after his death. God, he died without regret. It is said that this is the second film of Johnny Depp starring Hunter S. Thompson's adaptation of the novel of the same name, the first being "Capital Art". Johnny Depp and Brand Pitt are generally influenced by Hollywood familiar to Chinese audiences. His scene in "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" steals the spotlight, and the image of Captain Jack is absolutely classic. Closer to home, what is this movie about?
Some say the film carries the autobiographical character of Hunter S. Thompson himself, the offbeat journalist and writer. I watched the introduction of the film. The reporter Paul Kemp, played by Johnny Depp, came from the hustle and bustle of the United States to Puerto Rico, a small country in South America. I am very unfamiliar with this place, but the beautiful beach in the film is really beautiful. landscape. Compared with the rights activists represented by Sanders, the indigenous people who are divided into another world are much more embarrassed, so the contradiction between the two classes has always been the dynamite keg of the whole movie.
However, regarding the issue of racial disputes, which may be attributed to colonization, I cannot discuss correctly for the time being. What I'm talking about is the image of Camp, an alcoholic writer who lives in a cloudy, ethereal way. He later fell in love with Sanders' girlfriend Cannaught, a stunner, and the two fell in love with each other. A tone against the upper classes was set, and Camp embarked on a brave road to redemption.
Unlike Sanders, there was also a local cockfighting resident who became good friends with Kemp. However, when Camp drunkenly looked at his friend with square glasses, he saw his friend's tongue sticking out longer and longer and making strange words. "...Jesus! Your tongue is like the guts of a chicken or a duck. For Jesus Christ, don't stick it out. Your tongue is Satan's!" He went on to say, "...human beings are the only creatures on earth. , claiming to be God, the only living thing, behaves as if nothing..." It seems that these embedded lines should be Hunter S Thompson's own expression about the world, his love of guns and explosives , should be based on seeing the world as a dangerous one.
Kemp's own escape was a failure. In order to expose Sanders' crimes, he sailed back to New York by himself, became a famous journalist, and married Chanel, which seemed to bring the film to a successful end. In fact, it is the sadness of this movie. Escape is never possible, only from a lonely world to a drunken world, and from a drunken world to a lonely world. People are always facing reality, and they are approaching reality and escaping from reality.
