  Dane DeHaan. This kid has a bright future, if he keeps making good choices. I didn't think anything could make me want to see The Amazing Spider Man 2, but now I am looking forward to it due to DeHaan's presence.

  Anywho, he is not the only star of the movie. A rendition of the origins of Beat Era, this has a who's who of literary names: Allen Ginsberg (who takes the centre stage here with a tremendous performance from Daniel Radcliffe, who is turning out to be quite good) and the ever reliable Ben Foster (William S. Burroughs) and Jack Huston (Jack Kerouac).

  An anti-establishment, no holds barred, opposite of Dead Poets Society look at poetry, and literature. How it effects people who write it, how it influences them, etc. I love literature but I have not nearly read enough to grasp the full extent of the impact of these rebels, but I do see what it meant for them. Breaking barriers, through words, the only way they know how to, and in that way they started a revolution.
