First I wanna say, every movie that was based on a book, no matter how good the movie has been, is nothing compared to the original book. Every true reader would agree with me. Its not the question either the books or the movies. Some people are fans from movies some like books more. I am talking about book fans now. When you read a book you imagine the whole story, and automatically you adapt it to your person. When they write the girl was pretty, you imagine a girl that is pretty for you, it don't has to be a concrete person, just a imagination of a pretty girl. You just know she is pretty. And the second thing by books is that they describe also feelings and opinions of the characters and also of the writer. Thats why the movie cant give you the experience you have while reading a book, the actors cant capture all the feelings with acting. Every movie is maybe 10% of the books quality. Except of this movie, this movie is same quality. There is nothing in between for me. I never seen movie that was more than 10% until this, whats 100%. Congratulations to Terry Gilliam, Benicio del Toro and of course Johny Depp. They should get academy awards for their performance. I watched the movie maybe 30 times. You have to watch it at least three times to get the right impression. And also after 10th time, something can surprise you. There are so many little details, you have to watch everybody in this movie and listen to every word spoken, even in the background. This was the first movie when I was laughing out loud like crazy in a movie theatre. I usually just laugh a little, but here I couldn't stop, my stomach was hurting me already. It is also the first movie I went 4 times in movie theatre to see it. This movie is great, is beyond any judgments. And I am still talking only about capturing the book. I am not talking about the story, which is great as well, thanks to autor Hunter S.Thompson.Between 1 and 10 its 29. its the best movie ever.
