Lévyová, Lívia ; Vajchr, Marek (advisor)
This thesis focuses on two film adaptations based on the literary work of the American journalist H. S. Thompson. The first one is Where the Buffalo Roam, directed by A. Linson and the second one is Fear an Loathing in Las Vegas, directed by Terry Gilliam. The goal of the thesis is comparison of two movies according to several criteria - dramatic and visual qualities, characters, ets. Also, the unique style of gonzo journalism, invented by the author, is taken into cosideration. It became well-known for its extreme subjectivity, close connection with autror´s life and blending fact with fiction. Another goal is to review how successful both directors were ai applying film methods on the chosen Thompson´s texts and in transforming them onto the film screen.
