Howl Page #6

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.

are segments of the small observer?

I can not answer

with a yes or a no.

But he said he left...

wrote about a small segment of reality.

It is here that is confusing.

I believe he refers

Travel-Solomon

and not her.

That's why I'm confused.

Yes, of course. Ginsberg writes

referring to Solomon.

They are personal observations.

You have to read, right?

I can not tell if there was

a real knowledge with Solomon.

These things do not concern

my profession, my cultural background.

His assessment will change if

the author knows the person you're writing?

Absolutely.

It is certain that Charles Solomon

ever lived?

- No.

- So I do not know, right?

No, I do not know.

Have you read...

Voltaire?

One of his works:

Candide.

What is your opinion

of "Red"?

From the literary point of view

is great literature.

The style

Voltaire copied whom?

- Your Honor!

- Please...

- The lawyer has the right to object.

- What a guy!

Yes, I would have liked, but...

No, I do not want to train with him,

even though it makes me...

Every time I open my mouth...

he left.

How long did it...

to reflect on "Scream"?

- I think two weeks.

- 2 weeks?

Had

only 2 weeks.

However I had already got an idea

after just five minutes.

It took a long time

to reflect on "Red", right?

Exactly.

He believes that if he had any other time...

have changed your mind?

I'm sure...

I would not have changed.

Thank you all.

"Scream" contains words

that, if taken literally,

Your Honor,

are unequivocally

obscene.

We heard a number of experts to

Literary evidence

that the books have

literary value

and that words are needed

to assess its value.

But.. is odd

that our law

allows the use of

Expert evidence

to assess the literary value,

but does not allow us

admit in court, you know...

the man on the street

to testify that reading a book

not understand the meaning,

who does not know what you're talking about.

Maybe because...

is very difficult.

Take me,

eg.

Frankly, having said

during the hearings that I read

I do not understand completely.

And, in fact, I consider this as a whole,

I define:

"A boatload of sensitive bullshit".

I am quoting the words of Mr. Ginsberg.

Why,

since the sale of a book

is not only targeted

for critics of modern literature

and specialists in modern poetry,

but must be held by the public common

in what is called

"The average reader"

The Court will evaluate the consequences

before deciding whether to "Scream"

is obscene or not.

Thank you Your Honour.

Very good.

Defenders.

The Supreme Court of the United States

says that the word "obscenity"

must be understood as...

"The real trend-corruption

This provokes lustful desires. "

Items are...

relevant to the author's thought

or... has used

be dirty and ugly?

We describe

what he calls...

"An Adonis of Denver,

I think he could write,

but do not go to these places

Not for us to decide

what words he should use.

Mr. Ginsberg tells his story

and tells it as he sees it

Using...

his words.

There are books that can change...

about situations that...

are visible, but...

Now, if "Scream" is or is not

But..

the question of what is

is of fundamental importance

What...

And to whom?

Who says that such arguments

are a danger to...

People who use

often feel it is their

This censorship of desire

And it takes all our strength ratio

The fight against censorship and

So how could add fuel to...

We won the light.

We won honesty.

- No, nothing more.

Get up!

Sit.

There are several words

Used in "Scream"...

now considered rude and vulgar

in some parts of our society,

while others are

common use.

The author of "Scream" felt right to

make use of the words

because in his opinion this

characterizes the environment it portrays.

And common opinion '

these words

are not necessary,

if they could use more...

less indigestible,

as a matter of taste.

The fact is that...

Life can not be contained in a

regime in which all act the same way

according to a...

preconceived model.

No two people

who feel the same way

The mold from which we come

is the same, but there...

variables for each person.

There would be no press freedom
