Kill Your Darlings is undeniably a dark academia movie, but it’s academic the way Taco Bell is Mexican food.

I’m talking plagiarism, skipping class, vandalizing classics, rejecting popular literature, and spending more time talking about writing something than actually writing it. It’s beautiful.

Woah....it´s been 10 years since this movie was released. "Kill Your Darlings" with Michael C. Hall as David Kammerer.

A movie about the beat poets Allen Ginsberg, Lucian Carr, William Burroughs and Jack Kerouac before they were famous.

Kill Your Darlings

Maybe I just have a different point of view compared to others, but I have seen a lot of comments about how horrible it is how the movie depicted David Kammerer as sympathetic and pitiful.

I seem to be one of the very few people who watched the movie and didn’t think him to be sympathetic and don’t quite understand why people came to the conclusion.

Let me explain my feelings towards the movie and characters (which are more or less based on true events) :

We know that David Kammerer stalked Lucien, in real life and in the movie. There’s really not a nice way to put it. Why doesn’t Lucien fight back and instead sometimes went with him? Because some people go back to their abusers, it’s not that hard to understand.

That doesn’t make it right. He fed David in his obsession and used him. We need to stop thinking about how we live NOW and think about how it was during that time. Think about how David treated Lucien during the movie. He always says how much he loves him and how he would do anything for him, breaks into his ROOM. If that isn’t manipulative as well, I don’t know what is. The stalking makes it even more horrible.We have an awareness nowadays about these kind of people.

The first thing we learn in today’s time is to NOT reply to stalkers or just persistent people, to just ignore them. ANY attention feeds their obsession. When a guy I rejected started to constantly write to me, he threatened to kill himself or to “come over to where I live”, I asked for an opinion of people. What did they tell me to do? Some told me to “reply to him and reject him again” while some said “Ignore!” 

To reply to such behaviour is the wrong thing to do. Lucien made a mistake but he didn’t know any better, in my opinion. As most people during that time, and even now.

David Kammerer tried to play with Lucien’s feeling and empathy and tried to chain him to himself. As most groomers do. That DOES make him pathetic and pitiful. But David made himself look like a victim when he is NOT. He’s pitiful but not a victim.

And the movie seems to play on the viewer’s feelings as well. Because even some of the viewers seemed to think the movie’s message is that David’s a poor guy.

Let me start on Allen Ginsberg now: He’s the narrator, especially at the end. People tend to “sympathize” to narrators and think that what they say is the correct opinion. Not sure how it was in real life, but Ginsberg seemed to have an obsession towards Lucien as well. The letter, the story he told was creepy and obsessive and wrong in my opinion. He may be the narrator but being the narrator of a story doesn’t make the character flawless. And many viewers need to be reminded of that. I read many books where the narrator is morally questionable. Which is why I don’t think of Ginsberg as a poor, lovesick guy who got manipulated by Lucien and couldn’t hurt a fly.

The murder is a whole other story. We don’t know if Lucien really murdered David for trying to rape him. Maybe he was just fed up and took the chance to kill him and knew he wouldn’t go to jail for defending his honor (as it was called during that time)

Maybe David DID try to rape him. We don’t know for sure. No one knows the truth.

My opinion stands that no one is completely innocent, but David Kammerer especially isn’t.

Thus said: I freaking LOVE the actors in this movie. Each and everyone of them was awesome.

We still have Christoph. : ) I'm leaning towards his character being Dr. Frankenstein.

Netflix will be a great platform for this!

First look at Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley (who can currently be seen in the delightful WICKED LITTLE LETTERS) as Frankenstein's monster and The Bride from Maggie Gyllenhaal's aptly titled THE BRIDE (slated for a October 3, 2025 release).

Bale's Monster is giving

What is it about?

"A lonely Frankenstein travels to 1930s Chicago to seek the aid of Dr. Euphronius in creating a companion for himself. The two reinvigorate a murdered young woman and the Bride is born. She is beyond what either of them intended, igniting a combustible romance, the attention of the police, and a wild and radical social movement."

The film also stars Gyllenhaal's odious husband Peter Sarsgard, Annette Bening and Penélope Cruz.

There is another Frankenstein film on the way with Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein project for Netflix.

del Toro with some of his cast: (either director David Cronenberg was there to hang or he is also in the film. If he is in the film it would be a nice tip of the hat to him as his Frankenstein project never got off the ground.),Goth, Jacob Elordi and David Bradley. Also in the film is Christoph Waltz, Felix Kammerer, Lars Mikkelsen, and Christian Convery.

Never forget.

SUONO DOMENICA | Dodici ore di musica di ricerca Domenica 21 aprile 2024, ore 12-24 Conservatorio di Musica “G. B. Martini”, Bologna

Una vera e propria maratona sonora, un viaggio lungo un giorno che se da un lato ha lo scopo di presentare il capillare lavoro della Scuola di Musica Elettronica, dall’altro si relaziona con la città e con realtà diverse del panorama italiano, spaziando dall’audiovisione, all’improvvisazione, dalla sound art alla composizione acusmatica, interrogando ospiti e musicisti anche extra-accademici sul significato dell’arte sonora di oggi. Il tutto esplorando gli spazi incontenibili del Conservatorio di Bologna, sottolineati da allestimenti e proposte in grado di dialogare con l’architettura e la tecnica. “Suono Domenica” non è quindi un festival o una vetrina: può essere visto più come una festa, o magari come un “orologio sonoro” che scandisce il tempo della giornata attraverso il fare musica e lo stare insieme.
