The four people in this still photo are so powerful that everyone's story sheet can be published as a book, and some even have autobiographies published without anyone else's writing. From left, William S. Burroughs | Naked Lunch, Alan Ginsberg | Howl, Lucian Carr, Jack Kerouac | On the Road.
They pursue absolute freedom, smoke, drink, indulge in drugs, and behave uninhibitedly, claiming to be the "Beat Generation". However, he also created a large number of works without the constraints of writing, which had an important impact on postmodernist literature.
Lucian, blond and blue-eyed, is an immortal muse of the soul. He attracted these rebellious fighters and provoked a bloodbath in the literary world. One day, he withdrew and evacuated, disguised as a stone, and smashed into the dark bottom of the lake with a muffled sound.
Stories about him were written and hidden under the floor for sixty years. It was not until the death of both parties that they were able to see the sun again in 2008.
The film "Kill Your Love" may have many shortcomings as a biopic and as a director's debut. But as Lucian's story, it always appears charming and pure.
Be careful , you are not in wonderland.
I've heard the strange madness long growing in your soul.
But you are fortunate in your ignorance,in your isolation.
You who have suffered find where love hide.
Give , share , lose. Lest we die umbloomed.
_Allen for Lu_
In 1943, Allen was not the poetic leader who proclaimed "Don't hide madness", he was just a timid teenager at the age of seventeen.
Meet Lucian for the first time. He would leap onto a table in the sacred Columbia library and read aloud words from Henry Miller's forbidden books. Smoking, drinking wine and listening to the beautiful Brahms in the dormitory where I live alone. So, following the music and feeling, Alan pushed open a door, behind which was a glimpse of Lucian.
He said: Finally, an oasis in this wateland. (Finally, an oasis flashed in the desert) When the eyes met
, the young poet's love sprouted.
Some people are born with an aura, they are intelligent, talented, and have a delicate face. That's how Lucian is, with a sexy and dangerous aura all over his body, but it's hard to restrain him from wanting to get close. He introduced Alan, William, and Jack, who talked about literary revolution in smoky bars and plotted how to slap the self-righteous academy.
The death squad is online. They hang themselves from the beams of the house to compose poems to experience the suffocating thrill, take stimulants to get a lot of inspiration into their minds, and chop up classic literature collections to find new rhymes. This thrill-seeking swing style has given rise to the first signs of the Beat Generation.
There is always an undercurrent hidden under the waves of fury, and the men who were taken away in the bar seemed to remind the audience that homosexuality was the original sin that could not be avoided in those days. Lucian has the capital of original sin, and this gender-crossing attraction often makes him fall into a whirlpool.
David Kemero, a loyal follower of Lu. For five years, he followed him through various schools, pervasively infiltrating his life, and this infatuation made the other side dread. Perhaps, he loved David, but was afraid of being destroyed by this love. Or in the end, love yourself more.
The accumulation of emotions is like a flood. When Lucian, who was trying to escape, was found by David again, he couldn't help pulling out the small saber and stabbing him in the heart. The bodies were then stuffed with rocks and thrown into the Hudson River.
It's an intriguing murder because it's defined as "honor murder." At the time, honor killing was the act of a homosexual who killed a defendant out of defense, and if the defendant was heterosexual, he was acquitted.
Throughout his life, Lucian claimed to be heterosexual, became a news editor incognito and had children. He escaped the beat generation far away, escaped the circle that once called for wind and rain, and also escaped the taint of this murder in embarrassment.
He had hated those who hung on the university's wall of honor, those who were afraid of being forgotten. Only at the end, the news briefing of the murder, full of irony, was hung on the wall, which was embarrassing.
It is true that everyone loves Lucian.
In this case, Jack helped him deal with the murder weapon, William helped him cover up the truth, and Alan wrote his defense testimony for him. Even William and Jack recorded the matter in a book and hid it in order to preserve each other's reputation. The first book of poetry published by Allen also specially noted that it was dedicated to Lucian.
They all loved the muse, the fresh rebellion and madness he brought, the vitality and inspiration he brought. This love is probably a memory worth cherishing for a lifetime.
The movie has come to an end, and the real photos that appear at the end of the credits may be the beginning of another story. These high-spirited young people gradually became the beat generation, and influenced later generations of literati with their works and ideas.
The following are the broken thoughts:
▲It is said that Lucian himself is very talented, but he can't write. Because of its perfectionism, what is written is never satisfactory.
▲Although David and Lucian have known each other for many years, they have had emotional entanglements, but the two have never had a relationship. Instead, Lu and Allen had.
▲ In the film "Kill Your Love", Ben Foster, the actor who is most praised and highly similar to the prototype, is William Burroughs. His shape, tone, and even his inadvertent cunning are very similar to the prototype. (The picture shows William himself)
▲William is regarded as the spiritual godfather of the Beat Generation. In addition to writing, he also paints, acts in movies, and shoots commercials. His book "Naked Lunches" describes a lot of drugs and related scenes, but at the end of the book lists hundreds of ways to detoxify. This man was a drug addict all his life and lived to the age of 83. PS: After reading the book "Naked Lunch", Sugar Jun, please be careful when it comes to the movie meal time.
▲After being expelled from Columbia University, Allen Ginsburg became one of the most awarded poets in American history. When the work "Howl" was published, it was sued in court because of a large number of foul words. Together with William and others, he fought against the Confucian scholars in court and won the case, which contributed to the legalization of the publication of such literary works in the United States. .
▲ Allen met his gay lover Peter, who was only 21 years old at the time, in 1954, and Peter was his lifelong love and partner until Allen's death in 1997.
▲Picture left to right: William, Lucian, Allen. They remained friendly friends until their death. It is said that Lucian Carr preferred a wine named after him in his life.
▲Dane DeHaan, who played Lucian in the movie, was recommended by the director's same-sex boyfriend, and was widely acclaimed for his enchanting temperament. (Simply drooling all the way)
Finally, finish with Dai Hanhan's prosperous beauty.
Some people always want to be forgotten, who knows that time will be remembered.
