      this world

      Perhaps in this world, there should not be too much beating around the bush, but rather speak out and point out directly and boldly.
        Our souls are beautiful and we seek freedom. We have our own way of thinking, we are in different circles, we respect the ideas of others, we are divine. Humans, we live together on this blue planet, and our souls need to communicate so that we can achieve a balanced, perfect and real world.
        The world of art is free from anything materialistic. It's...

      I still don't write reviews

      There are many poets who write often because they want to achieve or achieve a state of self-control. Therefore, good poets are often those who have a strong desire to control, or they urgently need to achieve a kind of self-control and control of real life. When they reach this state, they will reach a state of self-high, and this self-high is often very contagious, which is also what people expect from good poetry. The reader may resonate, and he will become your favorite author; most of the...

      only howl

      A biopic, three main lines, about Allen Ginsberg's early years with the poetry collection Howl.

      I don't know much about America in the 1950s and 1960s, the generation known as the Beat Generation, and I basically didn't read the book On The Road that I bought.

       

      In the film, in Mr. Ginsberg's experiences and his poems, the pain and resistance of being a small part of society can be seen.

      Everyone has the right to express their feelings, and a small group...

      Conversation with the Muse

      Allen Ginsberg, a poet of the Beat Generation in the United States, used straightforward descriptions to express his emotions for the first time, while frankly admitting his sexual orientation. Opium, some people think that such a collection of poems cannot be called a literary work at all.
         A court trial, an interview, a scene of a poetry reading session, interspersed with animations transformed from the poetic realm, the film reproduces the vision created by "Howl". At the court...

    Movie plot

    In 1956, after the American rebel poet Irwin Allen Ginsberg's work "Howl" was published in the "City Lights" bookstore, the content was too wide and attracted the attention of the court at that time. The publishing house was accused of disseminating obscene literary works for publishing its poems. The state lawyers and the defendants' lawyers had a heated debate, and both sides called a large number of witnesses and experts.
    At this...

    Evaluation action

    Because "Howl" does not have a strong storyline entrusted, it is completely entrusted to the spiritual world of Irwin Allen Ginsberg by poems, and a large amount of discussion on the literary value of "Howl" in the court makes it impossible to understand the "Beat Generation" American society It is difficult to get close to the general audience of literature. So the director used a lot of animation and soundtracks to exaggerate...

    • [first lines]

      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...

      [continues reading but unheard, credits roll]

    • Allen Ginsberg: There's no beat generation. It's just a bunch of guys trying to get published.
