A good writer, and one who writes with care, often finds that the expression he's spent a long time hunting for without finding it, and which he finds at last, turns out to be the simplest and most natural one, which looks as if it ought to have occured to him at the beginning, without any effort. -Jean de la Bruyere 1645-96
Poetry is the opening and closing of a door, leaving those who look through to guess about what is seen during a moment. - CarlSandburg 1876-1967
Painting is silent poetry, poetry is eloquent painting -Simonides c.556-468BC: Plutarch Moralia

Recurring theme- Beat Generation

http://ronsilliman.blogspot.ca/2014/01/many-allen-ginsbergs-only-middle-row-is.html

























This article mentions a few  films such as kill Your Darlings, On the Road, The line has shattered and how theyhave done a poor job rein acting the beat generation time period. The films looked fine cinematically, performances were mediocre but were missing the main message, cutting out important issues that were taking place. Film directors are continuing to make movies around this time period but are focused on making a pretty film and portraying important poets, figures inaccurately. Three of the films fail to introduce the sexual politics occurring in that time period. In conclusion these films portrayals on the beat generation are movies for people who never/ little knowledge of whats going on. Covers bits and pieces but for people who are educated and have understanding of those times will find it limited flawed and offer criticism.
