Paul Goodman Changed My Life - official US trailer

Opens October 19, 2011. Paul Goodman was once so ubiquitous in the American zeitgeist that he merited a cameo in Woody Allen's Annie Hall. Author of legendary bestseller Growing Up Absurd (1960), Goodman was also a poet, 1940s out queer (and family man), pacifist, visionary, co-founder of Gestalt therapy—and a moral compass for many in the burgeoning counterculture of the '60s.

Paul Goodman Changed My Life immerses you in an era of high intellect (that heady, cocktail-glass juncture that Mad Men has so effectively exploited) when New York was peaking culturally and artistically; when ideas, and the people who propounded them, seemed to punch in at a higher weight class than they do now. Using a treasure trove of archival multimedia—selections from Goodman's poetry (read by Garrison Keillor and Edmund White); quotes from Susan Sontag, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Noam Chomsky; plentiful footage of Goodman himself; plus interviews with his family, peers and activists—director/producer Jonathan Lee and producer/editor Kimberly Reed (Prodigal Sons) have woven together a rich portrait of an intellectual heavyweight whose ideas are long overdue for rediscovery.

Why do you care who he had sex with? I don't understand this hostility man. And it's fuckin', not fucken. Go watch Fox News, you illiterate, anti-Semitic homophobe

[bailinnumberguy]

He had a very active mind and was gifted w/ language. Goodman certainly made you think, although many of his ideas were total horse shit.

The time for Zionist control of Western countries is almost over. Gonna be lovely to see em go from the Hague to the Gallows. Afrika den Afrikanern. Asien den Asiaten. Moslemische Länder den Moslems. Die Türkei den Türken. Weisse Länder für j e d e r m a n n ! Es ibt Volkemord.

@stronghurst1 being gay is different from being a pedophile you moron. That and I don't have a son, but I do have a colds on the way and I'll love that child no matter what their sexual orientation. I hope you have a kid who turns out to be gay you homophobic idiot.

did he support the 1965 imm. reform act? If so I don't like him.

Goodman was one of the most interesting political writers of the twentieth century. I am sure that the people who are criticizing him here have never read any of his books.

Worst of the commenters, obviously, is lioctober, who is a racist and who spouts obscenities because he doesn't have anything worthwhile to say.
