Howl - a movie to see
I just saw Howl, the movie. It's a film to see for everyone interested in Beat literature and Allen Ginsberg. It's very well done and I learned a lot from the movie that I didn't know before because these events were taking place when I was just a kid. Though, I've been a Ginsberg fan since grammar school. Now I am enlightened on the subject but sorry that I didn't know all that when I had a chance to sit down and talk with Allen about a year before he passed away. Someone's done a great job on this movie. This movie should be seen before seeing Milk because it places the sequence of events in order. I believe that Howl is a movie about those great Americans, who prepared the way for those like Harvey Milk in New York or San Francisco, but over a decade earlier in the 1950s. A great lesson in freedom and in how the way for hippies and the 1960s revolution was prepared, and why it was revolving around Allen Ginsberg and his friends in San Francisco.
