The page for the film was pruned, and this page is about the poem—not a James Franco vanity project.

The poem is featured in the film, ''Film/Howl2010''. The film has three major sections interspersed through the film: Creator/JamesFranco as Ginsberg talking about his life and how he created the poem with some scenes of him reading it for a beatnik audience, a dramatization of the obscenity trial and an animated illustration of a reading of the poem for the film audience.

-->''I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked...''
Creator/AllenGinsberg's epic poem, his ode to Creator/TheBeatGeneration and the most lauded poem from that school.
''Howl'' was written in 1955, and first published in 1956 as part of the collection ''Howl and Other Poems.'' The original publisher was actually arrested for publishing it, as it was originally ruled as "obscene."
The poem is structured in three parts and a "footnote" which resembles the second part.
The poem is featured in the film, ''Film/Howl2010''. The film has three major sections interspersed through the film: Creator/JamesFranco as Ginsberg talking about his life and how he created the poem with some scenes of him reading it for a beatnik audience, a dramatization of the obscenity trial and an animated illustration of a reading of the poem for the film audience.
