rather disappointed...

I don't know it's a biopic, it was funny when I watched the trailer, but when it got to the main film, it became dull, the laughs were gone, and Depp kept dragging a wine bottle around. Go, I woke up at the end, I have to do something.
When writing this movie review, how is it an adventure + plot? I can't see the adventure, but isn't the ending to commemorate a certain reporter, maybe it's not reliable to adapt the deeds from the novel?
Anyway, I saw it a few times and wanted to turn it off, but Depp was there, so I insisted on reading it.

    Saying that the ending of this story at the end is also the beginning of another new story, is it implying "Fear of Las Vegas"? Johnny Depp paid tribute to his old friend Hunter Thompson, and he also became a producer himself. This kind of movie was largely repaid, as if it were shot with rum, and he kept fainting. Huhu.

    The highlight is the scenery of Puerto Rico & Amber Heard & that car shocking love scene. It's a bit of an aesthetic fatigue for an actor with a strong personal imprint like Johnny Depp. The director's ability to tell the story and choreograph it is as drunk as the title.

The Rum Diary quotes

  • Lotterman: The average guy don't rock the boat 'cause he wants to climb aboard it. And our readership is vividly average. They don't care who the losers are. They wanna know who won. Who won the bowls, who won the races, who won the pot at the slot machines. /... / And this is the American Dream.

  • Lotterman: You're paying to be in the dream. There's a thin veneer, Kemp, between the dream and the reality. You wake them up and people might start asking for their money back.
