Howl Page #5

Synopsis: It's San Francisco in 1957, and an American masterpiece is put on trial. Howl, the film, recounts this dark moment using three interwoven threads: the tumultuous life events that led a young Allen Ginsberg to find his true voice as an artist, society's reaction (the obscenity trial), and animation that echoes the poem's surreal style. All three coalesce in hybrid that dramatizes the birth of a counterculture.

You understand? What else?

"Moloch whose eyes," what?

"Moloch whose eyes"...

And then it occurred to me, probably...

"One thousand!"

Ok, but thousands of what?

"A thousand windows"

E...

somehow I end up having to...

conclude with the blind.

"Moloch whose eyes

are a thousand blind windows!

"Moloch whose skyscrapers

position on the long road

"As a Jehovah's infinite!

"Love Moloch

is endless oil and stone!

"Moloch whose soul

is electricity and banks!

"Moloch whose fate

It is a cloud of sexless hydrogen!

"Moloch in whom I sit lonely!

"Moloch in whom I dream like the Angels!

"Crazy in Moloch!

Sucking c*cks in Moloch!

"Without love and without a man

in Moloch!

"Moloch for me

arrived earlier in the soul!

"Moloch that with terror

I took my natural ecstasy!

"Moloch that fires me!

"Wake up in Moloch!

Light flows in the rivers of heaven!

"Moloch! Moloch!

Robot apartments!

"Neighborhood invisible!

"Treasures of skeletons!

Blind capitals!

Industry devil!

Spectral nations!

"Homes invincible!

"C*cks in granite!

"Monstrous bombs!

"We've broken back

to increase the Moloch to Heaven!

"Sidewalks, trees!

By elevating the city to Heaven

That there

and is all around us.

"Dreams adorable!

Illuminations!

"Religion!

This whole boatload of sensitive bullshit!

"Quebaradas!

Along the river!

"Crucifixions!

Descend to the full!

"Buzz! Epiphanies!

"Despair, 10 years,

animal screams and suicides!

"You lie! New loves!

Generate a crazy!

"Against the rocks of time and then down!

"Knight in the holy river!

"They saw everything!

I pick crazy!

"The holy yells!

They said goodbye!

"He jumped from the roof!

Loneliness!

"Greetings with flowers in hand!

In the river!

"On the road!"

It is my opinion

literary value, if any, is very modest.

I tried to review

Based on objective data,

for example...

a great literary work,

or at least a good literary work,

must have a type

form.

But this poem

is just a pale imitation

a form used 80 or 90 years ago

by Walt Whitman.

Remember the title

this poem?

"Leaves of Grass"

was the title of the poem.

The literary value

may be intrinsic to the subject.

And how low is the literary value

of "Scream," in my opinion is clear from the subject.

Exposing the idea of the poem

is quite clear

but of little value.

And so the theme...

also loses value.

- Actually, you have nothing.

- Thank you.

If I understand correctly

she says...

Ginsberg has used...

the style of Walt Whitman.

The form. The form used

in the poem "Leaves of Grass."

And since Ginsberg uses the "form"

She believes that...

the poem "Howl"

is of no value...

of any literary merit.

If we talk about so, yes.

And literature, 'because as correct

always creates its own form

appropriate in this context.

That does not mean...

"Leaves of Grass" by Walt Whitman

is of poor quality.

Oh no, that's good writing!

The form has created

Walt Whitman.

While you say that because...

Ginsberg, who has copied the form

"Scream" has...

no value or merit. It is correct?

It is correct, yes. Imitation

never has the value of the original.

And Walt Whitman

who copied?

As far as I know, nobody.

So there.

She says she does not know.

Right?

Yeah, right.

If I understand correctly

another of his strong point is that the idea...

of "Scream" is clear

but not so good.

I am reporting correctly?

We reached this conclusion, yes.

The idea of "Scream" is clearly expressed.

The idea is clear.

Ginsberg expresses this idea in "Scream"?

Well celebrates life miserable...

I do not remember... Oh Solomon!

The unhappy life of...

that man, Solomon,

boatman thought Dada.

- The boatman?

- Ferry Dadaist thought.

- This is what shows?

- Yes, exactly.

And this picture is...

of any value?

From the literary point of view, no.

"Carl Solomon!

"I'm with you in Rockland

where you are crazier than me

"I'm with you in Rockland

where you have to feel very strange

"I'm with you in Rockland

where you imitate the tone of my mother

"I'm with you in Rockland

"Where the games

of words on the bodies of your nurses

the harpies of the Bronx

"I'm with you in Rockland

where pests in the catatonic piano

"Innocent and immortal Soul

"You never die ungodly

in an armed madhouse.

"I am with you Rocland

where 50 and more shock

"I'll never go back,

soul to the body

"From the pilgrimage

to a cross in the void.

"I'm with you in Rockland

where you accuse doctors of insanity

"And through the revolution

Jewish Socialist

"Against the Golgotha

nationalist-fascist

"I'm with you in Rockland

where she cuts the skies of Long Island

"And it will increase

human life of Jesus

"Superman's tomb

"I'm with you in Rockland

where there are 25 thousand mad comrades

"They sing together

The last stanza of the lnternational

"I'm with you in Rockland

agreement where the coma

"Thanks to the air

our souls to roar over the rooftops

"Let's play

angelic bombs

"Hospital

lights alone

"Shining Walls, fall

"Oh legions are depleted bone

"Oh star shocked by the

mercy

"The eternal war is here

"The victory of the mind

your underwear we're free

"I'm with you in Rockland

in my dreams

"Paths to water droplets

crossed the highway across America

"Wow

you are in front of my house

"A Night in the West"

What are your impressions

The third part of the scream?

From what I understand, the poet

It is the view of traditional thinking

ie...

everything was created by...

human misery

and everything is forgotten and destroyed e. ..

Solomon, at first sight

followed these dictates.

It follows that there is value...

Thematically, the third.

Thus, the third part has its own value.

One... I, I... I think I had...

a slip now, I...

Lindor, I must say,

Lindor, rather than value.

But she used the term "value"

around the time of deposition.

Tell me, Mr. Kirk,

never read the Bible?

I read that.

- Tell me, have you read Job?

- I read it.

Job's lament is not

the lament that Ginsberg "Howl"?

- Not at all.

- It's... agree with me that...

entire period of work is life?

Labour condemns the human condition.

Yes, but does not achieve the desired

like the Dadaists

Cancellation

human memory

and all that man

could not do it...

clear the field and start from scratch

as claimed by the Dadaists.

- And she does not believe in that philosophy.

- Not at all.

No, she was dead in 1922

or '23.

But that does not necessarily mean

those who believe...

- It is wrong, no?

- No.

That does not mean not even literature.

Well, how...

As literature, Mr. Kirk?

I refer to my three basic criteria

a fundamental objective:

form and theme of opportunities.

Well

She believes that Ginsberg had...

during his wanderings,

the opportunity to observe

life and writing?

nA small segment, yes.

He writes about this period of life

right?

- One thing...

- You must answer the question: Yes or no?

Hmm...

I'm confused.

The poet offers...
