摘要
In the 1950s,McCarthyism,characterized by anti-Communist and anti-foreign policy,was rampant throughout the United States of America.The public recitation of the poem“Howl”marks the beginning of the Beats’rebellion against McCarthyism.As a successful poetry-movie,the film Howl bridged the gap between vision and hearing through a series of diversified presentation forms,such as documentary reenactments,archival photos,and the reconstruction of court trial scenes,thus breaking the boundary between poetry and film.As a kind of displaying the authorship of Ginsberg,the close-up pictures of typewriters repeatedly appear in the film to vividly interpret the Beat writers’style of spontaneous composition.
