I’ve watched “Kill Your Darlings” and I generally liked it, though it was a little odd. I have to confess – I found this movie thanks to Drarry videos – because the main character is portrayed by Daniel Radcliff, he has dark curly hair and wears glasses and (maybe a spoiler!) his partner (sort of) is blond so… Well, before that movie I knew exactly two things about Allen Ginsberg that he was a poet and that he was openly gay in the fifties, which is very tough. This movie turned out to be not actually about Allen Ginsberg, it’s more of a story of (Spoilers!) this murder in the park told through his eyes. I guess my problem is, that watching a story based on real events which you know nothing about and have to real Wikipedia afterwards is a little weird. But again – I liked it: the performance, the cut is very clever, for example when they are showing their drug-trips and mix them with reality, or when they started from the end. I also enjoyed learning at least something about the Beat Generation, because before I’ve only heard the name but never actually looked it up. So, a good movie, by the way showing again that Daniel Radcliff is definitely not stuck in Harry Potter role.

Don’t call me kid

Don’t call me baby

Look at this idiotic fool that you made me

You taught me a secret language

I can’t speak with anyone else

And you know damn well

For you I would ruin myself

A million little times
