Where the Buffalo Roam

Where the Buffalo Roam, is a film about the stories of the creator of Gonzo journalism Hunter S. Thompson and his lawyer Laslow, who was Oscar Acosta.The film is not a full biography of Thompson's life but stories that he lived and wrote about in the 1960's and 70's. Like the majority of Thompon's works you see first hand the counterculture that Thompson was apart of whether it was drug crazed adventures or going against the grain of society seen as he blasts the Nixon administration or when he was sent to write about the Super Bowl, but ends up going on one of his signature adventures instead. Bill Murry plays the role of Thompson and Laslow is played by Frank Boyle, while watching the movie you understand the unique relationship between the two, as their adventures lead to pandemonium. If you are a fan of Thompson's works or the later adaptation of his book "Fear in Loathing in Las Vegas" which was also made into a firm(with the same title) I would highly recommend this movie. If you are offended by heavy drinking and drug use I would advise you to stay away from "Where the Buffalo Roam." I give this movie 1 1/2 thumbs up because it doesn't seem to mix well with how Thompson wrote but has some relations with his writings.
