"Kill Your Darlings", the Beat Generation, & Lucien Carr: historical context, analysis, & commentary

Описание: In this fan video (which involves commentary/analysis on the movie "Kill Your Darlings"), I start with a powerpoint on historical context for the formation of the Beat Generation (including some tidbits about Lucien Carr and the other Beats), and then show key movie scenes with commentary while explaining the references.

I've also posted audio recordings where I cross-reference the chapters covering Lucien/David/the murder, from three books (an autobiography by Edie Parker and two semi-autobiographies by Kerouac) that mention the topic, which the movie may have pulled details from.

FYI: I put some of my own subjective interpretation/commentary on it. THIS IS A FAN VIDEO, and isn't meant as an academic source itself; rather, it's a home project on a topic I found interesting thus took a deeper dive into (not to mention some of the Beat sources out there are at times subjective or vague with conflicting info). Hopefully it can help explain some of the references missed by the movie though, and be enjoyable and informative for those interested! ^__^

More references: -"And the Hippos Were Boiled in their Tanks" (another semi-autobiographical novel written by William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac that focuses more on Lucien Carr. This is the main book to read on it, especially if you want a more detailed account of Lucien, David, and the murder. Full audiobook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUiFh....
