Influenced by the editing of European and American group portraits at station B, I always thought that the two leading actors were a pair of lovers, and in the end, one of them killed the other with passion, but it turned out to be the three writers of the Beat Generation, Ginsburg, Kailu Jacques and Burroughs are drawn into the story of a blond man who murders a lover. The lost generation after World War I, the beat generation after World War II, the hippies after Vietnam War, American literature of the 20th century is full of decadence and pessimism inherited from the previous generation, as well as the loss of the American dream after the end, the film describes At the same time, the case brought out the family background history of the three writers of the Beat Generation and the influence of the ideological trend. A lot of thought was spent on the design of lines and editing. Yeats' imagery runs through it. ” said that Yeats’s a terrible beauty was the epitaph of the entire 20th century, and took it as the title of the British version of the book, and the male protagonist’s paper for the blond beauty was a study of Spengler’s The Decline of the West. ", the title of this book, literally, can also immediately let the audience understand how it fits the temperament of the Beat Generation, so the camera naturally gave a close-up close-up of more than ten seconds, for fear that the audience would miss it.
The film's narrative in a small format gave me a quick taste of the temperament that was unique to that era. In this respect, it was successful, but it didn't go deeper.
