The Rum Diary

Johnny Depp&apos;s Homage to His Friend Hunter S. Thompson

A Labor of Love, Johnny Depp&apos;s Homage to Offbeat Journalist and sometime Novelist Hunter S. Thompson is Affectionate, Warm, and at the Same Time Desperate. 

The Novel was Written Early in Thompson&apos;s Career when He first Discovered Alcohol and the need for Journalistic Integrity (that defined the writer&apos;s output).

Those Expecting the Hallucinatory Visuals and Bombastic, Outrage of Terry Gilliam&apos;s and Johnny Depp&apos;s take on the Author&apos;s most Popular Work, &quot;Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas&quot;(1998) will most Likely be Disappointed. Critics and Moviegoers Reflected this resulting in Poor Box Office and Scathing Reviews.

The Strength of the Movie are the Words, the Dialog that is filled with Insights and Rhetorical Rage. Almost Every Scene is Riddled with Entertaining Oratorical Observations. 

The Look of the Movie can&apos;t be Faulted as the Beauty of the Island is Contrasted with the Dehumanizing Poverty. 

The Cast is Outstanding with Bravura Performances from Michael Siboli, Giovanni Ribisi, and Richard Jenkins. Amber Heard is the Eye Candy. Aaron Eckhart is the Capitalist Villain, a Role that is Not Very Demanding.

Overall, it is an Offbeat Movie that does not have Wide Appeal. Thompson Himself Struggled for Wide Appeal, while Maintaining His Integrity and Never quite got there, at least Not Until very Late in Life, as He Gained Respect and Admiration as a Cult Figure. 

The Wordsmith was Given High Tribute by Depp as He Strove to get the Unpublished Novel in Print and the Movie Made.

It&apos;s an Odd Film that most likely will Gain in Reputation in the Coming Years when Expectations aren&apos;t so High and Knee-Jerk concerning the Long Awaited Novel and Movie.
