"And like all lovers, I am a poet."

Helloo people! After being buried in my books for about a month, I have resurfaced albeit momentarily, although the days of freedom are not far behind. The only reason I am writing this post is because I cannot stop watching the Kill Your Darlings trailer and I'm wasting time on it anyways so it kind of makes sense.

I am really excited for this movie. Earlier it was mostly because of my undying love for Daniel Radcliffe, then for the cool and talented cast of up-and-coming actors, but after watching the trailer, my interest has properly been piqued because the film looks fun and interesting and dark. I think it is a really good trailer that does not give much away and gives a proper little taste of the kind of film Kill Your Darlings may be. Of course I am a little apprehensive after last year's On the Road (which wasn't bad but just disappointing), but I am going to hope for the best.


Things I loved in the trailer-

DanRad and his curly hair.
I don't think I've ever been more attracted to him which is weird because I've wanted to marry the guy since I was 9. Also, I think he's going to kill it as Ginsberg so yaay!


The rest of the cast.
Doesn't Dane DeHaan look particularly shiny? I love this cast.


Dan and Dane.
I'm like puking rainbows looking at them. So cute.


This shot.
I see a future banner.


And all of these.
I think the settings and costumes look gorgeous.



Watch the trailer here.

“I don't think there is any truth. There are only points of view. ”~ Allen Ginsberg



Ginsberg was pretty awesome. Very soon we will be shown two different versions of him in two very diverse films played by two British actors, both who hold unique places in my heart.





First we have Tom Sturridge, who will be playing Jack Kerouac's version of Ginsberg, Carlo Marx, in the upcoming film adaptation of On the Road. He was the reason I got into this film and the book and consequently Ginsberg himself.
I know the film will mainly focus on other characters, but I loved mad and amazing Carlo in the book. I do hope Sturridge does him justice.









Then we have Daniel Radcliffe playing the poet in Kill Your Darlings, which will focus on a murder and the birth of the Beat Generation. 
Radcliffe is my favourite person in the world and this is going to be a very interesting project. He seems to be going all the way for this. He has brown eyes even, which is insane!





I don't know if I have really presented their cases, but I do have a poll! Yaayy! Choose your British Ginsberg, people of the blogosphere and beyond.
