Kill Your Darlings – Junge Wilde (2013)
5KKill Your Darlings – Junge Wilde: Directed by John Krokidas. With Daniel Radcliffe, Dane DeHaan, Michael C. Hall, Jack Huston. A murder in 1944 draws together the great poets of the beat generation: Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and William Burroughs.
“u0026quot;Under the right circumstances even he might change the world.u0026quot; Columbia University in the 1940u0026#39;s unknowingly gave life to some of the best poets in the world. Alan Ginsberg (Radcliffe) shows up and is almost instantly dissatisfied with what he finds. The school is too straight laced as far as teaching goes. He meets future legends Lucien Carr (DeHaan), William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac. What starts off as a group trying to change the world spirals out of control until a murder changes the lives of all of them. I have never been u0026quot;hipu0026quot; or into the beat poet scene. Never been a fan of Kerouac or even a big fan of Hunter S. Thompson for that matter. Not really sure why but they just never appealed to me. I watched On The Road but wasnu0026#39;t that impressed so I wasnu0026#39;t all that excited about watching this one. I do have to admit that this was much better then I expected. This one had a Dead Poetu0026#39;s Society aspect to it and I think that is why I ended up liking it. If you are a fan of the beat poet generation then you will love this. I liked how the character interactions grew to an explosive resolution, that was interesting to me. Overall, much better then On The Road, but this movie made me want to watch that one again now that I know more about the relationships. I give this a B.”
