'Howl' Trailer HD

[tzoyia1]

Don Draper knew Ginsberg?

[KristVladic]

Fag's, nerd's, commie's...Boring, sexless, stupid, exalted spivs.

[perthornalexandros]

amazing movie

[Juan36793]

all the icons of beatniks generation in one movie. Epic

[n4pgamer]

Unbelievably bad movie!

[allanjfotos]

One for the artist claiming back their ground! Sort of thing that makes me want to be even more of an activist .. Inspiring and grabs you by the balls

[deadtoy]

I watched it last night and fell in love. It's very inspirational and James Franco surprised me!

[mjtisc1]

I can't believe they didn't cast David Cross as Allen Ginsberg!

[JohnGaltProductions]

I'm just here for Donald Draper.

[DJLiterature]

not another way underrated movie from imdb!!!

[skate3745]

Awesome movie!!

[TakeTheRicochet]

1:17

[twodeadpoets]

This a freaking awesome movie and James Franco should have gotten an Oscar for a role most actors would never have touched which he does without flinching or fear. I never thought much of him until I saw this movie and have found HUGE amounts of respect for him as a result!

[Hugehugo912]

I loved this movie. Got the Dvd straight away afterwards as well as the book.

[JudgeNature]

Open Another tab and type Jay-z 99 problems then make the video of jay-z to 0:00 and this video to 3 then start them together and all lived happy for ever after

[Scriptease123]

I loved this movie. I've never really understood poetry, but this film made me want to read it. It even made me want to write it.

[LanaBanana130]

Franco does a good Ginsberg impression.

[oObadphishOo]

you gotta love franco

[enterme]

I don't know the meanings of half of the poems he said, and I don't know why I cried at holy shit. It just likes a bomb and cleans all the dust.

[kjah4201]

moloch!

[ChryssaLime]

Not even nominated from the academy for this movie?

[sunnysummerheaven]

@ChryssaLime did you watch this? is it any good? james franco looks so attractive in this movie.

[ChryssaLime]

@sunnysummerheaven Yes I've seen the film. He was ABSOLUTELY A M A Z I N G! Probably one of his best roles ever.

[angelkingsun]

lol i remember i went to the films to see little red riding hood, but then i somehow wasnt in the film little red riding hood...It was this one xD yar i watched the film and it was great. I watched it on fillmsi.co.cc again later :o

[Scriptease123]

You can watch Howl on Hulu for FREE until the end of August, 2011. Don't miss it.

[RickWheeler9001]

I read the poem after seeing the trailer, gritty stuff man.

[heitogsaftig]

can someone hack and destroy sitemoovis.co.cc ?! It's drivin' me NUTS!

[heitogsaftig]

I'm not sure if the story grabs me, but the cinematography looks amazing!

[TheGrimSleeper]

This looks pretty cool, very different

[MrDrunkengun]

why the hell r there so many spam comments under every second film, just trying to get some foolish guys to go to their strange webpages

[preloading]

What's this music ?!

[soysurreal]

I still impressed I just saw the movie is amazing how they portrait the poet and the poem and the fact of being a poet ....love the illustrations also and the argument that made them win the case ....this movie has an artistic simplicity.

[MsRachy1993]

i love james franco...and anything he says(;

[athenagoddess91]

John Ham surprised me in this movie

[goodtwitch]

I loved Franco's performance; it never felt phony to me for one second, unlike that awful beard that looked like something from a joke shop. The animation sometimes didn't seem to mesh with the poem, but it worked well enough to not be distracting, sort of like background music. Overall a fantastic movie, deep and rich in meaning.

[sexytubes]

Such a mockery, they made Kerouac look like a tool and Ginsberg was an out of shape, bald scrubby kind of guy. The fact that James Franco's beard was so perfectly groomed sickened me and I couldn't even bare look at him. "I started writing poetrrrrry," yeah way to make him sound like a retard. LOL

[iWhisPerYouSleep]

Get a life sexytubes lol.

[SEAchefMojii]

Hipsters get their jumpstart by watching this movie.

[Heartthisprincess216]

James Franco, sexy either way black and white or colour pwoargh!

[mopeyg]

one of my fav poems by far... and the movie is great as well.

[12235117657598502586]

It's the handsome hero prince from 'Your Highness'

[lancerampa]

Ohk now dis movie is too good.... an so is allen ginsbergs poem if any1 has read it??

[shuddupd3mon]

Where's the wolf?

[sergio9259]

-Have you ever imagine a movie all around just a poem? -Yes, many times, but this is the best one

[tonorwaymylove]

"what is the beat generation?" "there is no beat generation. just a bunch of guys trying to get published." i laughed out loud when i heard that.

[rossobass420]

Watch trailer stoned = mind blown.

[VTimesTwo]

So many hipsters in one movie.

[raggedelastic]

@VTimesTwo It was something called the 50s, and who you may define as 'hipster' were those of the beat generation. Is it so hard to appreciate an artist for his art- that is poetry if you noticed, and not for his supposed 'hipster-ness'?

[WhimsicalQuandary]

@VTimesTwo

Everyone was a hipster in the 50's

[selty]

@VTimesTwo Comparing the likes of Ginsberg, Burroughs, Kerouac and Clellon Holmes to a bunch of wannabe beatnicks who think wearing stupid plaid clothing and fedoras to try to be radical is just... not right.

[dudesweet85]

If ANYONE knows what the song in this trailer is, please share, it's killing me!

[heitogsaftig]

@dudesweet85 Word!

[mrbriscoe2001]

.. a movie with a brain..how did it get through the marketing department at the studios..?

[C4lm4]

@mrbriscoe2001 I bet it's a mistake. Better for us though.

[mrbriscoe2001]

@C4lm4 I came out of watching "The King's speech" the other day;a researcher asked me "What would it take for me to watch the upcoming "Transformers 3"; I said a gun

[hughesfan100]

Ho,hum,,,,,,,zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....­...

[fg2hj]

Feels like this film is independently honest.

[Racermjc1]

1:02 everything looks official with leaves around it.

[Jareth1981]

Looks shit. This is like begging for an oscar

[kikomiko1]

A movie about poetry. How exciting.

[MusicismemyselfandI]

James Franco is such a great actor. I want to see this, and then marry him <3 <3

[amewsed]

I WANT. 

[thefiddler46]

This guy looks like the teacher from Agents Of Secret Stuff :O

[POSSUMFORCE]

ray ban ray ban ray ban

[arodardoardo]

how have i not heard of this movie!

[123Shames]

I wonder why I did not see this trailer on tv? It actually looked very interesting and I`m maybe 100% going to watch it... maybe!

:)

[lampshady7]

@microworks1 I recommend this also, but not to see with your family lol! It was awkward watching with my mom even after reading the poem out loud with her years ago

[xjames118]

As I said, I like poetry, and I understand your point about art being inherently free-form. But it is pretentious. Any art requires the artist to imagine the sensibilities of the audience -- not produce something which automatically requires them to fall in with convoluted verbiage. To imagine your audience has the same emotional short hand as you is incredibly bad form. Rapport has to be painfully worked at. Certainly, I bear this in mind when I'm recording my martyrdom video.

[xjames118]

No. I like poetry, but don't let anyone pretend it isn't pretentious. Either write song lyrics or short stories. Yeats is pretty interesting. So is Larkin. But there's no reason you can't put the most emotional concepts into plain language, and still have it sound compelling. In summary: meh.

[DeadbyDawnP]

@xjames118

If it wasn't for Poetry, we wouldn't have song lyrics or short stories.

[xjames118]

@DeadbyDawnP I suppose that may be true, but I still say poetry is conceited, and we should have outgrown it by now. And I am the sole arbiter of artistic merit, so sorry about that.

[toloveinthird]

@xjames118 poetry is a medium that uses language as a tool, like paint or clay. what you're saying is equivelant to someone saying "there's no reason you can't put a clay pot on a canvas" or "a sculpt a painting."

there's nothing pretentious about poetry and there's A MILLION different types of poets and poetry, just as there is a million different types of any art form. if you think it's "meh" maybe you're not reading the right stuff.

[LiquoriceBootlaces]

Anyone have any idea what the song is?

[boredtodelusion]

lol @ his beard

[periclesfilm]

auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! 

[periclesfilm]

Que genial! película, la estoy viendo en partes y por momentos y no quiero que se acabe.

[midprod]

love mary louise and way to go for being the hottest 48 yr old chick alive and for being one of the only women that can do movies after you have gone on to television great hot actress and nancy botwin rox

[cachacacinemaclube]

Parece uma boa merda. Seems like a good shit.

[nanfolio]

james franco's name was typed with bigger fonts than allen ginsberg's...

[BillyBarnacle]

one of the worst films i have ever had the disfortune of seeing. HOWL is the biggest piece of shit I've seen in a long time. An absolute affront to the indelible mark of the great Allen Ginsberg. Walked out after 50mins

[monkey1o8]

Now... a coment that isn't spam, this actually looks pretty cool

[faeliane]

What's with all the spam... -_-'

[anticannobis]

francos beard looks so glued on

[AkameNoHanrei]

howl what,,, <_<

[ask412]

There's no beat generation. Just a bunch of guys wanting to get published.

Truth a last.

[JordanAshleyG]

James Franco just rocks everything that he does. Even General Hospital.

[yoshiman12232]

DON DRAPER! i mean JAMES FRANCO! i mean ALLAN GINSBERG!

definitely watching this tonight. and thanks alot to the spammer. not a single useful comment for feedback.

[ocmc32]

looks like a good film, decent cast and director

MOVIE WATCHERUS

[amielanquist41]

he,i watched this movie 5 times in webmovietube..thank u

[jcpelly]

Oh sweet lord :D I just ohhhh...

[thaisepf]

BRILLIANT! all about poetry and music! lol

[bookwormpianist]

in the footnote of Howl, who is the last name Cassidy he mentions? I am interested in more beat poets I am a HUGE fan of Ginsberg, Burroughs, di Prima, Kerouac, Hughes, Angelou, among others. Can anyone recommend any other similar poets?

[ocmc32]

@bookwormpianist do you mean to ask 'who is cassidy'?

if so, the man you are looking for is NEAL CASSADY

he's the bloke who inspired many beat writers, and features as the central character to many literary works.

find out more about him by reading 'on the road' by jack kerouac, or 'the first third' by neal cassady, or a selection of letters from neal cassady.

im going to take down a few of the names you mentioned mate, never heard of hughes and di Prima before, cheers

[treid100182]

Hollywood masturbation at it's finest...

...if The writings of Ginsberg can teach one anything, it would be that, one should not pay ridiculously high prices for movie tickets when they can just read the fucking poem...be themselves and imagine their own idea of that time period in America.

Cool FRANCO, you read "On the Road" cause Johnny Depp told you to...and now you latched on to Ginsberg - destroying the legacy - to prove some weird pseudo-originality amongst your Hollywood picadors.

[friend5001]

Please, what's the name of the song at the end of the movie? Not the last one (the end credits one), i'm talking about the song just before, so sweet. Maybe it's some kind of lullaby? Please help, can't find it.

[TeodorusJazz]

thumbs up if you watch this trailer again and again,..

[Gonko100]

Ginnesberg was a terrible reader, but his stuff fucking rocks my socks off every once in a while.

[DrGruselglatz7524]

what's the songs name played from 1:00 ?

[VitoPossilipo]

I love this movie!

[xxrowtrave23xx]

James Franco and John Hamm, Hot!!

[Ayabie911]

James Franco, you did the god of poetry justice. Thankyou.

[sabymoon]

I was listening to HOWL and Kaddish read by Ginsburg in a dorm room, and Kaddish had just finished CAW CAW CAW Lord Lord Lord and I walked out in the hall all wrapped in emotion and they said Kennedy had been shot and killed. Kennedy? Bobby! I felt a howl of despair. Another assassination. What kind of a world is this?

[gasnra09]

An amazing film! 

[sphinxart]

Damn! I missed half this trailer while was watching paint peel off the walls.

[sphinxart]

Damn! I missed half this trailer while was patching paint peel off the walls.

[neonpeace88]

<3 james franco

[rytrospyk1]

Jon Hamm and James Franco? I'm in.

[paulox1984]

looooksss shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

[CamilleSA]

this better live up to the utter brilliance that is Howl....or they are well and truly fucked...Hell nothing can live up to it other than the poem itself.

[ESP80S]

@CamilleSA ...personally and i almost apologize for involving myself, only i think howl resembles the soothing sound of an elevator tune (therefore an elevator of the hilton kind)

[CamilleSA]

@ESP80S in all honesty, I think it was the sheer momentum of the poem that I truly loved. It is what it is at a specific time etc..I am not sure if there really was a point in making this film.. I guess they have political issues to discuss. I felt the same way when I 1st read howl...it grew on me.

[ESP80S]

@CamilleSA one doesn't mean to be opinionated. i should give howl a second go. although this film i won't wanna see in a rush/hurry... seems very much flat (as opposed to fizzy) heres to too much information: i'm english, love the thought of living in new york with a certain kinda dog... walkies around central park etc. crazy about eighties as well, will leave it there!

[CamilleSA]

I just re-read Howl this weekend, I think I may die of excitement...The film better hold up to it's half.

[jericholyv]

I agree with IndianaDylan! GREAT!!!

[damnedcarrot]

yay. lets celebrate a pedo jew...

[horrorjunkie92]

@damnedcarrot What's wrong with being a Jew?

[bragladish]

this was the biggest piece of shit ever fucking made. What the fuck was that shitty animation, reading of the poem (in multiple scenes) and lame assed lame trial? If Kerouac or Ginsberg was alive they'd kick the fucking door in and choke these fuckers dead! This was an absolute embarrassment to who these people were... this kind of shit is the exact reason Kerouac drank himself to death... fuck you!

[Catapultandclingfilm]

in my opinion....this film looks bollucks

[bugpwdrdust]

wow i didnt know don draper was ginsbergs attorney back in the day

[PapagenoJuan]

There is no beat generatio, but a bunch of kids trying to change the world :))

[sanjulius]

Saul Silver

wuhu nice movie

[TheHannahBurger]

I think David Cross would have been perfect in this role. He's already so much like Ginsberg and he looks exactly like him. It's eerie. Still looking forward to seeing it. 

[mazurchris]

@TheHannahBurger didn't he play ginsberg in the bob dylan movie "i'm not there"?

[freemoviezdl]

nice movie

[iloveartimus]

Love the end statement. So true.

[YOUROCK80S]

More than any other film I've seen which elects to tell stories about gay men, "Howl" very clearly articulates the isolation and stigmatization felt by a group of human beings who, even today, are told that they are something just short of being real, equal men. True, things have gotten better: in the time the poem

[LawlietandLight]

I can't wait to watch this.

[thestupidrhapsody]

so correct me if i'm wrong, is ginsberg gay? thanks.

[shuikyou]

@thestupidrhapsody yes he was. It was a big part of his poetry.

[nanarosemay]

O MI FREAKING GOD!!!! i started crying just watching this trailor! im absolutely IN love with the beat generation! (thanks herbert huncke) o city lights books, u make mi <3 wanna explode.

[IndianaDylan]

this is how you compose a film trailer

[lovelydiva06]

i love james franco, he's such a good actor and very cute and handsome as well, he's so diverse in the type of roles he chooses to play and i like that and i wanna see this movie

[iloveartimus]

@lovelydiva06 agreed :D

[fansoffilm]

nice!

[TheNamesNicole1012]

I can't wait to see this!

BUT I think you forgot to mention Aaron Tveit in the "Starring" section :p

[lamedar]

kassem g? o..o

[patjah]

Never liked Ginsberg. On paper his poetry is just a bag of words, and he delivered his work like a whiny bitch. At least Franco sounds like a man when he recites.

[BeechwoodSilasLang]

@patjah um, fuck you?

[CelestialWoodway]

@BeechwoodSilasLang Couldn't have said it better to the Super Troll.

[shubhangster]

If the academy had any sense, they would give Franco the Best Actor Award right now. Great movie and amazing portrayal. Pity the Trans-clown-amorphs and Tweenlight generation won't appreciate it

[danielrdrown]

What is going on with the distribution of this film??? It was suppose to play in Ann Arbor Michigan next week but has been cancelled.. It's not even playing anywhere in the entire state of Ohio. I've pre-ordered the dvd but would love to see it first in a theater setting.

[LON009]

Jeje, Jeff Daniels again.

[lunaticlupin]

WOHHOOO! i want to see this, but no theater plays it around here.

[gabekenny]

interessante.. acabei de baixar esse filme, daqui um pouco to indo assistir! ;D

[Zabuza28]

James franco is in alot of movies now. Im glad. Hes great

[NICC234]

Quite an enjoyable movie.

[zion559]

reminds me of dick tracy

[kennyg03]

this was a pretty cool film 

[getclutch72]

Oscar Nomination For Franco.
