Interview with Henry Miller Screener

[MrCaioliz]

Je ne peux pas parle françe

[mindstormsabrewin]

Imagine a modern american woman doing this for her husband in order to save his soul. It would never happen. Today's woman wants to put chains around him and chop his nuts off and treat him like a boy that needs to be controlled. As long as he's paying the bills he's allowed to exist. As long as he doesn't get any ideas about being free on any level. I wish I could go back in time to when it wasn't a crime to be a man that desires freedom. Today we are all slaves to every institution and custom.

For some reason I love the way he sounds when he speaks French

[ricktennyson10]

who is this gay bitch? this is gay as hell

[HigherPlanes]

@ricktennyson10 Didn't you make a similar comment about Henry Miller in a different video? What are you, some kind of gay troll?

I tried to read BlackSpring when I was in my twenties. I couldn't "get it" at the time. I think I may have to try again. I really like Henry Miller the man.

[jab3785]

@GeneLattanzi I find that 'Black Spring' has some of his best and some of his worst writing. 'The Tailor Shop' about the colorful people in his father shop is a masterpiece. 'The Fourteenth Ward' about his early childhood and 'A Saturday Afternoon' are also excellent. There's one or two others that are pretty good unfortunately most of the stories toward the last half of the book don't do anything for me.

[goback3spaces]

Tried to read TROPIC OF CANCER once. Couldn't get through it. The thing seemed awfully juvenile to me. It was all just fuck this and fuck that, the word fuck repeated endlessly, and that's all I remember. The book read as if it'd been written by an anguished fourteen year old.

[nogololo]

@goback3spaces

the morals of society have left you crippled!

this man squeezed the earth to make the mountains a little higher and you mean to tell me that

all you can focus on is how many times he said FUCK while doing it?

give it another go!

[goback3spaces]

@nogololo Must I? I'm into Charles Bukowski these days. Have you read him? Wonderful stuff!

[JaxNico]

After reading several Henry Miller books (I'm currently reading one now) I've often wondered what his voice sounded like. I'm absolutely ecstatic to hear that it's just as I imagined it to be. I honestly feel like it was destiny that led me to his books because otherwise I'd be so lost in my own conclusions of the world and feel utterly alone in said conclusions. Thanks to whoever posted this!

[akaprana]

Fantastic thanks. I would love to see the entire interview.

[nivbot]

This is the best Henry Miller video ever! To see him speaking French is awesome to say the least.

MY HERO

[Asparagusville]

STRANGE WORLD OF CONVERSION = Performance + tested & buttered bread, nothing's going to touch upon the slippery & oiled partings. Lord no! Oh Lord, yes! Gimme amen, gimme sanction, gimme toast & cheese. It's the calling of French oral surgeons to help those with ornamental tongue jewelry live to acquire add'l piercings.

[WAX3RD]

the best from brooklyn

[HalieusOPsuche]

henry miller ....was simply a pervert communist.

what the 'left wing' fools call "Liberty" is simply perversion of the highest order.

[ChooseRed]

@HalieusOPsuche in a sense I couldn't agree with you more.

that's why someone like you is allowed to write something like that: because there is something perverse about liberty...

and don't forget, don't type the words "henry miller" again on google/ youtube.

if you listen to him too much you might get the "communism"! gesundheit!

[jimbobklyn1963]

@HalieusOPsuche

wow.

[Natokowsky]

pervert! communist! just joking kids..

[LittleMegha]

I like his american accented french.

[PATYPUS3]

I guess that it is Brooklyn-French.

"on the meridian of time there is no injustice, only the poetry of motion creating the illusion of truth and drama." henry miller

[essjane]

Such a charming man.

[steelyman08]

Bless him. He saved my bacon when I was 20 and going completely nuts. I'm fine with being loopy now (thanks to the likes of him), but back then it was a bloody nightmare!

[wasteland70]

He saved me at 24. Bless him is right.

[mindstormsabrewin]

@steelyman08 Amen! "Different" people are made to feel inferior yet it's the "different" ones that create progress, that create changes. It's the artists, writers, and musicians that truly help humanity. In America people are being herded along and coerced into compliance with ways of life that are not true to their natures. THAT is why many sensitives are in such torment. There is no safe place for them here unless someone else is making money from them. This must change soon.

[steelyman08]

@mindstormsabrewin

Absolutely! There are oodles of successful "artists", but original, truth-seeking individuals? It's almost impossible to find them these days. If Miller packed his bags 80 odd years ago, just imagine how much worse it's become since then.

Thanks for your comment.

Take care.

[BevHillsKid]

@steelyman08

I know. I wonder what a Henry Miller would be like in America today. He would probably kill himself. He would have more outlets for his writing....more communities which would embrace him now then in the 1930's.....so I'm not sure if he would be happier of more miserable than 50-70 years ago.

[steelyman08]

@BevHillsKid

I think you're spot-on ~ he'd see through all of the trendy posing and go into hiding! He was a man whose words reflected his experience & his was a unique and virtually unheard of way of life for an American writer at that time (although there were plenty of literary posers hanging out in Paris at the time & quite comfortably at that!).

Today it's all about mimicking, parroting, & talking cleverly without having the least bit of experience to back it up with, etc.

Take care (-:

[Ioannakis]

One hundred and eighty dollars for an hour-long documentary? That's grotesque.

[m0n0p0lized]

oh i see, this is a company seeling dvds! now i understand what you mean. $180 is steep... and it's not even a documentary but an interview from either french or french-canadian television. if anyone can afford one of these they should make me a copy (and one for Ioannakis too). it'd be great to listen to him talk for an hour - but damned if i've so many australian dolars spare. a shame. a real shame.

[bonheurbrun]

@Ioannakis If I buy it I will definitely try to put it here or send it to whoever wants it. This seller is the worst creep ever.

[procommenter]

"At the bottom of every frozen heart is a drop or two of blood--just enough to feed the birds." -- (paraphrase) Henry Miller, 1891-1980

[procommenter]

"Atheists" are pretentious & contentious. Their conceit doesn't allow for research. Their knowledge of language, math, history, biology, physiology, immunology, and on & on is, at best, tenuous.

[procommenter]

The human intellect isn't expansive enough to fathom the workings & impetus of things metaphysical.

[procommenter]

Henry Valentine Miller 1891-1980, was described by Norman Mailer in his 1976 "Genius & Lust," as America's greatest living writer.
