The Great Allen Ginsberg

I've always been a fan of Allen Ginsberg from about the age of 14. I was inspired by him as a person and I just love his poetry. So when I found out they were releasing a film about Ginsberg court case for Howl and other poems I knew I just had to grab my hands on it. Unfortunately I didn't get to go and see it in the cinema which I was upset about especially because it was only showing in Independent cinema's and I love those cinemas and I really do believe they should be supported. So get yourself down to one, there always so much better than Odeon or Cineworld. So I brought Howl yesterday and I loved every single second of the film, it was beautifully and very cleverly shot, with it changing from colour, to black and white to an animation. It helps that James Franco plays Allen Ginsberg so you do have some eye candy. I don't know if any of you have ever read Howl, but I'm presuming some of you have. The poem is Allen Ginsberg just how he feel about life and it draws upon things and people in his life and his experiences. People may think it's crude and has no literary merit as the film Howl highlights, but I really do think it's beautiful, obviously not in the generic sense but in it's own sense. It's brilliant how that poem stands alone it's just Ginsberg. Long live the Beat Generation! Or ' just a bunch of guys trying to get published'

Pavements, trees, radios, tons!
Lifting the city to Heaven which exists and is everywhere about us'
