DANIEL RADCLIFFE'S GAY SEX SCENE KILL YOUR DARLGS IS A LONG WAY OM HARRY POTTER

College profsor David Kammerer was the buzzkill/albatross of the Beat Generatn, that small group of bohemian wrers who, durg the 1940's, began what would change lerature while cipiently shapg the pivotal hippie era and, well, the rt is history… Kammerer's adoratn for young pretty boy Lucien Carr, and the murr that rulted, is vered several Jack Kerouac novels cludg VANITY OF DOLUOZ, DESOLATION ANGELS and even his first venture, TOWN AND THE CITY… But the ma character is poet Allen Gsberg, equal to Jack the Beat template along wh the strange, mythil William Burroughs… Young HARRY POTTER in Daniel Radcliffe plays Gsberg wh the kd of sympathetic pathos beggg for a transformatn: this se, dg-e leadg to wrg leadg to homosexualy… But we're skippg ahead… When Allen first p his crazy mother and be a Columbia Universy hman, he's somewhat of an empty nvas… Enter Dane DeHaan as Lucian Carr, an elf, blond-haired/blue-eyed ntemplatg beatnik before there was such a thg… Dpe beg the poster child for cerebral pretentns, Carr be an stigative mentor to Gsberg… The more tertg scen have the duo clashg wh the uptight stat quo while disverg dgs, jazz and planng a foundatnal "New Visn" to put the olr poets (ala Ogn Nash) to rt… And, like the sound of an orchtra tung, there's only an eerie squeezebox of tentn sans the necsary talent to progrs their (at that pot) lofty ials… Legendary thor Jack Kerouac, whose ON THE ROAD – along wh Gsberg's epic poem HOWL – igned the Beat Generatn, is a third-fiddle womanizer and the least important here… Meanwhile, a lanky Burroughs mumbl through experimental dg trips and the character that should have been more proment is Kammerer himself, the beard llege profsor played by DEXTER star Michael C.

Treated like a special gut star 's ironic is the Kammerer/Carr se slowed down the spontaney of the Kerouac novels, and amounts to ltle here… The real purpose of KILL YOUR DARLINGS is Carr's hypocrisy untered by Gsberg's realizatn as a homosexual morphg to a signifint generatnal spokman… And that, Radcliffe's edgy meanor exceeds a visually pleasg but ultimately monotone story, shg through what's really important: the llaboratg geni between the three primary Beats…Instead we're left wh a cematic versn of Gsberg and Carr's grandiloquent NEW VISION… A potential spark whout any real burn. Alan and some of the others also alt wh their homosexualy, while some tried to hi .

He was famo for his support of homosexualy and his opposn to the Vietnam War. Burroughs was a prolific thor ("Junkie", "Naked Lunch") whose them of ath, dgs, and homosexualy n be seen their begng phas this film. Lucien has been stalked sce age 14 by the olr gay David Kammerer (Michael C.

DANIEL RADCLIFFE NONCHALANT ABOUT ALLEN GSBERG GAY LOVE SCENE

The film would be enjoyed by fans of the Beat Generatn's poets and homosexuals who take their birth rights serly, or both. I am a homosexual and I did enjoy this one tremendoly. Not so many films that homosexualy serv only as an unrtone, spe some visualized imag of homosexual lovemakg.

Absolute love of eedom be the overridg theme of this bunch of homosexual artists. Homosexuals would be equaled to heterosexuals when their "issue" ceas to be an issue for the public at large.

He do a cent job wh his character and the whole homosexualy aspect is acted accurately by him.

He even gets volved a gay love triangle wh fatal nsequenc. I have seen this film twice now and upon reflectn I enjoyed how the sexualy of the characters was not plac heavily on screen spe the homosexualy of Gsberg beg a very key aspect of the films script.

By the way: one of the keywords on IMDb is also gay relatnship, a possible showstopper for some feelg uneasy watchg gay sex, but they n relax: there is only one such scene, lasts one mute max, and no male genals are all, very good script and very well executed, wh believable stg and actg. A gay apology, wh nasty characters and a fastid plot.

Another problem here was the feelg that the film mak a kd of apology to homosexualy, somethg that I fely don't approve. Strangely enough their society was lenient, even for the actual murrer, and that n be explaed easily by the fact that David Kammerer was gay and their society at the time was fely and irreemably antigay. Lucien Carr uld have plead non guilty bee David Kammerer beg a homosexual, he had the right to fend his honor and kill him.

But Allan Gsberg, fely, and Jack Kerouac more or ls, not to speak of William Burroughs who was retrieved and taken away by his own father, had to tell the tth a way or another, and to let everyone, and Lucien Carr first of all, know the tth: Lucien Carr was love wh David Kammerer, which ma him a homosexual too. Que cheap for the life of a man, even a homosexual! It is easy and is also far-fetched as if dg addictn, gay sex and killg a gay partner were the same thg, as if gay orientatn led necsarily to anal sex shown on the screen, a syrge your arm and a knife the cht of your lover, the three at the same time and close and nse succsn.
