Larry Flynt, Great American
I went into this one fully expecting to like the heck out of it, and I wasn’t disappointed. No one had to convince me the message was a valid one, but I still thought I’d drop a line to say that I thought it was a very well done movie. It shows how a right that is supposedly near and dear to us all is often skewed in favor of mollycoddling lots of hypocrites who has the ridiculous audacity to think they have the right and the obligation to tell the rest of the world what to think of as moral or immoral. I loved the scene where Woody Harrelson, who does an absolutely bang-up job, gives a speech about how explicit depictions of death, murder, and war are considered appropriate while sex is considered filthy. “Sex or war” indeed. The more of Harrelson I see, the more my respect for his work grows. I must also mention Courtney Love, who is terrific as Althea. Great movie, I thought. Most of the people who don’t like it are probably also the very ones it portrays as being the “bad guys”-the religious right, of course. Larry Flynt may not be admirable in the type of lifestyle he and Althea lived, and his magazine is, to my mind, entirely repugnant. But if Larry and Althea truly had the sort of relationship portrayed they loved each other beyond all reason, and what he did makes him a great patriot. How many people would do what he did in defense of such an idealistic belief? Not all people who do great things for great reasons are great people.
The rise and fall of a (sex)god
“The People vs. Larry Flynt” is already 8 years old, and the subject it talks about is even older, but it still hasn’t lost anything of it’s relevance. This isn’t a movie about Larry Flynt, the porn king. It’s more a movie about the right to say what you want to say, without having to think of every person’s opinion first.You may not like the man or what he stands for, but at least he has the guts to stand up for what he believes in. He defends his right to speak freely and doesn’t mind kicking against the shins of the ultra conservative Christians. In a way today’s America needs more people like him instead of acting like a bunch of sheep being brought to the slaughterhouse by their government…
The acting in the movie is very good, but especially Woody Harrelson as Larry Flynt and Edward Norton as his lawyer were excellent. Courtney Love isn’t really an actress, but still did a good job (not that hard to do when you play a role that you are quite familiar with in your own life.)
All in all this is a very enjoyable movie that will be loved by some and hated by many. Personally I liked it and I give it a 7.5/10
