This movie is pretty much like a poem itself. the poem 'howl' is brutally honest and covers a huge variety of emotions and experiences. any poet can relate to what allen ginsberg says as we see him in the movie. not only a poet, but any human being who sits down at the end of a tiring day and thinks about life, can understand the pains and yet be a loss of all those words than allen uses to describe it in his words. i loved the poem, allen and this movie and will recommend it to everyone to understand a poet.
