Oh my god.. a second blog in two days?! Yes indeed.
This is going to be the first of my brief reviews. Last night I sat and watched a documentary of one of the written word's most legendary figures, Hunter S. Thompson. The documentary, "Gonzo: The Life and Works of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson" is narrated by the infamous Johnny Depp whose deep and soft voice paints a wonderful picture of the once great journalist. In its two hour running time the film covers just about every aspect of Hunter's life one could expect. His birth, his childhood, his big break in journalism, Hell's Angels, Fear and Loathing, etc. Told completely through a combination of interviews with people who knew him, Johnny Depp's narration, and old video of the man himself, I'd say the fim does a great job painting a portrait of HST. I knew little of the man before watching the film and now, I feel compelled to reach out and explore his work.
I definitely reccomend watching this documentary. Whether you are a fan of his work or know very little about him, the film is an entertaining watch either way.
Overall Score: A
