The Fear...
    #5924599 - 08/02/06 06:57 AM (17 years, 5 months ago)

Im sure most of you all seen fear and loathing in las vegas. I've watched it about a million times. But one question keeps popping in my head. Is Dr. Gonzo actually real or a made up character inside Dr. Thompson head? Many scenes in the movie make me wonder. I've read alot of biographies on this and the publicity doesnt even know if he is real or not. Does anybody know...or get the same feeling as me. Did Hunter do so much drugs that he made up a character in his head?!

Hunter S. Thompson was a gonzo journalist... If you read some of his other books, like "The Gonzo Letters"... its clear that Raoul Duke is HST to some extent. Many of the events and occurences were real, however, the reality of the situations was exaggerated a bit to blur the line between fantasy and reality...

Dr. Gonzo is Oscar Zeta Acosta

RIP HST

In your own words, what is a gonzo journalist?

In my own words? umm...

Well, at the time he wrote F&L, he was writing articles for rolling stone and other publications (the mint 500 or whatever, etc.). The basic gist of of what he was doing was writing kinda eclectic pieces that focused more on the author/atmosphere than on the actual event itself.

Sorry, but re-read the post...

It was edited a few minutes after I posted and realized my mistake...

Also interesting to note that Acosta apparently disappeared without a trace... He and hunter had been out of touch for a bit when he received a letter from Oscar's sister(?) informing him of the disappearance...
