The first time you saw fear and loathing (If you read the book first... go away.) Was it not magical!!?! So please explain the part in the movie you thought was just awesome the first time you saw it
the first time i saw it i was 18, and all it did was remind me of my death trip on acid, yup the whole movie was like my acid trips
I first saw it when I was in 8th or 9th grade, and I remember it. It was mind-blowing, but I never seemed to be able to stay awake past the 1st half. So I never really finished the movie for a long time, but it was so damn great, I was going through that whole 'drugs are great' phase, and it was just a really pleasant trip, to tell the truth.
"Raoul Duke: Strange memories on this nervous night in Las Vegas. Five years later? Six? It seems like a lifetime, or at least a main era - -the kind of peak that never comes again. San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run, but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant. There was madness in any direction, at any hour. If not across the Bay, then up the Golden Gate or down 101 to Los Altos or La Honda. You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning. And that, I think, was the handle - -that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting - -on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark - -the place where the wave finally broke and rolled back." Pure genius from The Hunter.
ya, thats around the time were one realizes that the movies not really going anywhere, and the intrigue of watching two people do copious amounts of drugs wears off.
