I just finished watching Howl, a DVD about Ginsberg's poem and the court case to decide whether it was obscene or literature. The movie shifted between the court case, a young Ginsberg reading his poem to a group, animation over the reading of the poem, and an interview with Ginsberg. I wasn't always thrilled with the animation but I was definitely captivated by the end of the movie, especially after the trial was done and the movie ended on Ginsberg finishing off his poem from “Holy! Holy! Holy!” I feel very lighthearted after seeing that. I definitely recommend it.
