Such a beautiful little film about Allen Ginsberg during the 1950s and his famous poem that created controversy over its supposed "obscenity" and how it made a mark on freedom of speech with artistic values and other various forms of literature and poetry that become new, artistic, and inspirational.

I really loved the animations that were playing along with James Franco's read along to Howl. So well done and great color use.

James Franco is not such an average/terrible actor after all (after I saw him in Oz). His performance as Allen Ginsberg is so real, profound, and well done that it makes me hope for a great career for James Franco.

Howl, I give you an 80%.
