The Rum Diary (Journalism, Diary, Alcohol, Coming of Age, Adaptation)
PLOT: Loosely based on author Thompson's real life, The Rum Diary follows journalist Paul Kemp (Johnny Depp) as his life starts to drift away and he settles into writing for a Puerto Rican newspaper during the fifties. Although his ambition is not gone, it is clouded by alcohol and other destructive behavior that he battles while watching everything crumble around him. At times it seems that things can't get any worse but they do. AUTHOR: Hunter S. Thompson
