    I'm with you in Rockland, where we lie under the sheets hugging and kissing the United States of America, the America that coughs all night to keep us awake. I'm with you in Rockland, where we woke up from our stupor, blown away by our own soul plane roaring on the roof. I watched it by grabbing a crazy computer in a Nanjing...

    This article is talking about the trial of Ginsburg and his "Howl", but in fact it is still expressing the tolerance and encouragement of modern literature and homosexuality in Great America. Still, it's okay to use the film as a key to getting to know Ginsberg and Howl. The performance style of this film is similar to "The Wall", but are those animations really the "Howl" in the hearts of the audience? The judge's last sermon was silly but inflammatory. Franco, don't read poetry...

    The style is too delicate, not in line with "Howl", and the hero's recitation is not wild enough. But anyway, the film upholds Ginsberg's free and honest spirit, give it 4...

Howl quotes

  • Jake Ehrlich: The battle of censorship will not be finally settled by your honor's decision, but you will either add to liberal-educated thinking, or by your decision you will add fuel to the fire of ignorance. Let there be light. Let there be honesty. Let there be no running from non-existent destroyers of morals. Let there be honest understanding.

    Allen Ginsberg: "Howl" for Carl Salomon. I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix, angel-headed hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night...
