Blast is an American comedy released in 1980based on a series of semi-biographical stories by author Hunter S. Thompson . The film portrays Thompson's rise in the 1970s and his relationship with Chicano lawyer and activist Oscar Zeta Acosta . Art Linson directed, Bill Murray plays the writer, and Peter Boyle plays Acosta, who is referred to in the film as Carl Lazlo, Esq. A number of other names, locations, and other details about Thompson's biography are also changed in the film.

An obituary written by Thompson for Acosta, "The Banshee Screams for Buffalo Meat", which appeared in an October 1977 issue of Rolling Stone magazine, forms the basis of the film , although screenwriter John Kaye used ideas from several other Thompson works, including " Fear and Terror in the Election Campaign ", "The Great Shark Hunt" and " Fear and Terror in Las Vegas ". Thompson served as the "executive consultant" for the film.

criticism

The lexicon of international films judged that the film was "a transfiguring look back at the hippie era at the beginning of the 1970s" , "chaotic and anarchic, but also developed so confusingly that the socio-political attacks are drowned at random."
