This "weird" gem is crammed with fairy tale iconographies, classic iconographies (Don Quixote and Sancho Panza are Depp and Del Toro, respectively) symbols and the ever popular search for the always ellusive meaning of life.
The settings (L.A. and Las Vegas) are not incidental, but intentional. The film, to save space and time, tries to cut through all the b.s. and superficial 'dung-heap' other intellectuals try to cram down an audience's throat.
The key, the answer to all this weirdness we see in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" is that there is no truth; everybody tries to be like everybody else, everybody seemingly decent that is, and nobody is really being themselves.
The 'tripping on drugs' scenes only 'enhance' our perceptions of how we mistakenly perceive human life.
Cameos include Lyle Lovett, Ellen Barkin, Gary Busey, Katherine Hellmond, Lorraine Newman and Cameron Diaz.
