Although "Kill Your Love" is basically a story, it does not prevent a film that captures the essence of the "Beat Generation" from showing us the thoughts and mental states of these young people, although the expression can be discarded A little bit of literature and art, let the thoughts and actions be fiery and decadent, but this is still a good debut.
A gentle and extremely filial young man received a notice from Columbia University, but he was attracted by Lu's beauty and talent in the hall where he should be bathed in holy light, and got to know William and Jack. farther. And after the love-hate relationship and murder between the beautiful boy and the uncle who should be the focus but with a little less ink, everyone went on their own way with heavy hearts, and then wrote amazing works in the literary world.
They cruelly deprive morality of its place before pleasure. It does not let go of the rationality in thought and language, so it is used to describe it as "collapse". A place where alcohol, drugs, and sexual indulgence are inseparable from young bodies and peculiar thoughts and desires, not to mention they are all talented. But Lu is like a stubborn moth. Once he loses his desire for this fire, he will immediately turn to another fire, with a reckless attitude, because he does not know how to retain all the enthusiasm in his life, and he will not know how to keep all the enthusiasm in life. thing.
You have brought me to a new world, and I am willing to be drunk on it. Allen was still immersed in the new world that Lu brought him to and the blueprint they had drawn, but Lu always only followed his fickle feelings, and would only strive to pursue what he was pursuing now. He was ruthless to the years. Allen is rightfully the outcast of the rogue, despite all his talents to please Lu. But he's Allen Ginsburg, how could a poet not fall into his own love, while others still love him. He was shocked by Lu countless times, and wanted to hug him countless times. After being abandoned, he was wronged, angry, and even depraved, but he was still willing to go against his conscience to excuse his lover.
Life continued after the film, and Allen printed the title page of his published poetry collection "For Lucian", but Lu asked to remove it when it was reprinted. We don't know whether Lou is gay or not and if they were in a relationship, Jack wrote "On the Road" and William wrote "Nude Lunch". Boiled to Death in the Sink", but Lu was already the editor of United Press International at that time, and the book was not published during their lifetime. And speaking of it, Lu is simply a muse in that small circle. Although he did not write much, he influenced the rise of American literature for a generation.
John Crockidas chose this kind of theme for his debut novel. It can be seen that he likes the "Beat Generation" very much, so he has a better grasp of their emotions, ways of thinking and behavior, and chooses to express them in a more aesthetic way. Those people's confusion, fanaticism, and intense and unspeakable thirst, wandering aimlessly over the years, at the same time, they cried out in agony. They are eager to discover or create something, want to break the routine and special existence, and hope that the world can become what they need. They are both contradictory and depressed. It is also such a period and such that they have created a classic that breaks the routine and has influenced countless people so far. .
Our life is indeed like a circle that goes on and on, and we look forward to change, hoping that something new will come in to break it, bringing novelty to excite and agitate life. But we have forgotten the magical repairing ability of time. It tolerates all foreign objects and allows them to enter this cycle, so we constantly want to abandon and seek to satisfy our insatiable dissatisfaction.
The film selects the crazy love and hate in the crazy things of the "Beat Generation" representative when they were young to show what kind of youth they have experienced after their precipitation. Although it is based on real people, the film only looks at these people and things from Allen's point of view. It can be regarded as a half-album film, but the truth of the murder in this film has become the least important thing. The filmmakers didn't care either, everyone put the emotions of teenagers first, after all, the audience liked the love of the base, the handsome man and the poetic decadence. Although Daniel's performance still has a strong straight male flavor, it is also a good attempt. David's performance is really amazing, just like the goblin who has been grinding people can be seductive.
The low-key and beautiful tones and light add a lot to the film, making the film less American-style brutality and more British-style romance. The low music takes us into the character's low but high heart. The narration and editing pace is a bit slow but catchy, at least it does a good job of creating a "beat generation" atmosphere, although it feels like it can be a little harder, like those people's works.
