A decent movie about the lighter side of Hunter S Thompson
Though most will probably know the name “Hunter S Thompson” for his wilder exploits chronicled in the book and film “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” , this movie focuses on some of his more constructive efforts, namely his bid to become Sheriff of the rural town of Aspen in 1970. Humourous japes such as pcp laced cigarettes and roller skating activists are placed alongside more serious themes such as industrial pollution, police harassment, and, inevitably, the war in Vietnam. It all rolls along quite nicely but in the end, the film just doesn’t quite go in hard enough. Ironically, leaning into the nastier side of Hunter’s legend ( or indeed the darker side of American society at the time) might have given the film the extra bit of tension and pizazz needed to lift it from good to great. Instead, it spends far too much time labouring it’s central point, which is that the hippies had some good ideas underneath the craziness, they just needed to get out and vote. I’ve no idea how succinct this analysis is, I just resented being beaten over the head with it quite so much. Still , this film is an above average watch.
Not your typical cerebral thriller.
One of the best treatments to the lore, the man, the mythos. Hunter s thompson, clearly the best movie of 2021. A true win for humanity and perfect from every angle.
