  • Beat Generation Short Movie. Pull My Daisy (1959) is a short film that typifies the Beat Generation. Directed by Robert Frank and Alfred Leslie, Daisy was adapted by Jack Kerouac from the third act of his play, Beat Generation; Kerouac also provided improvised narration. It starred poets Allen Ginsberg, Peter Orlovsky and Gregory Corso, artists Larry Rivers (Milo) and Alice Neel (bishop's mother), musician David Amram, actors Richard Bellamy (Bishop) and Delphine Seyrig (Milo's wife), dancer[1] Sally Gross (bishop's sister), and Pablo Frank, Robert Frank's then-young son.
    Based on an incident in the life of Beat icon Neal Cassady and his wife, the painter Carolyn, the film tells the story of a railway brakeman whose wife invites a respected bishop over for dinner. However, the brakeman's bohemian friends crash the party, with comic results.

    I met Ginsberg about 40 years ago, was still quite a gifted radical poet & silver tounged public speaker with a bit of a wicked wonderous twinkle in his eyes that was most endearing.

      Ginsberg was a disgusting pedophile and a member of NAMBLA who showed his support for NAMBLA in a 1994 documentary called Chicken Hawk: Men Who Love Boys.

    Took me a long time to fully appreciate Jack. Seemed like he was very artistically ambitious, ie... creating a new poetic vision of consensus consciousness, referencing everything from traditional to fringe religion, ancient and experimental literature, Jazz vocabulary, outsider philosophy and hipster argot. He was also very self conscious and critical and his mission was fuelled by youthful exuberance which had faded by the time he was even published let alone recognised. Then came the sauce and the haunted decay and apocalyptic self doubt. He was also imperfect as are us all except me of course who plays it safe on every finger of every hand.

      The Beats and later on the Hippies, were really quite desperate to present their frustration and dissatisfaction with conformity as deeply profound and significant - like it was the obvious way to be.
      They take over a social situation where a guest has been invited - then behave rudely, making the guest feel uncomfortable to the point that he leaves.
      Regardless of your societal point of view, that's just rude behavior, borne of drinking all day. That's it.
      Were they creative? Yes, of course.

      Of the famous Beat Poets, only Ferlinghetti served in combat, and that in the Navy. Kerouac and Ginsberg, for example, served in the Merchant Marine toward the end of WWII. Burroughs enlisted but was declared unfit. Kurt Vonnegut, who was a contemporary, did serve in the war... and his work is substantially different in mentality from that of the Beats

      As a Buddhist, I can tell you that the Beat Generation, with the exception of Allen Ginsberg, really didn't understand Buddhism in any significant way. I don't think anyone in the West did until the late 60s at earliest, after many westerners had a chance to study with actual monks in actual Buddhist lineages

      Agreed. An artist has to be strict and deliberate in his work, but of course the piece itself should create the illusion of spontanity, whimsy and ease of creation, of a naturall process. The ease of nature mirrored in art if you will. He himself should be his greatest critic. If you start believing that anything you do is gold and a masterpiece you're lost. I'm not promoting humbleness here but rather extraordinary expectations and comparison to the great masters remmembered in history. Even Geothe felt Shaekspeare was above him.

      @@0live0wire0 If you're done pronouncing what all Artists Must Do, take a load off and ease back. Ginsberg worshipped at the feet of Blake and Whitman, he loved to constantly talk about the masters, as he considered them, that he learned from. I'm not a fan of these guys particularly--Burroughs is my guy--but I don't see how you can just harrumph and wave your dismissive hand like you're the king butterfly of all. These people, more than any poet since Byron or Wordsworth, made people want to read poetry and become poets. They spawned a million--probably literally that many, if not more--avid, passionate readers and would-be poets, some of them good, some of them great. They influenced the American vernacular, they influenced music--Kerouac and Ginsberg are in a line that leads to Patti Smith, who in turn leads to...and so on. Beyond one's own reaction to their work if one has actually read it, just for this, for the passion and fire that they brought to the entire field of poetry, they deserve better than your glib scorn.

      I'm here because I've been reading Nica's Dream: The Life and Legend of the Jazz Baroness by David Kastin and this movie was mentioned. Kastin explains Pull My Daisy as coming out of the Five Spot scene (where Monk did an extended gig) with David Amram arriving on the scene as a student. This was inspired by the Paris Theater premiere of Cassavete's film Shadows (where Mingus was approached to improvise to the film because Cassavetes was all about translating jazz improv to the screen and Mingus told Cassavetes he would need 6 months to write material LOL). Sahib Shihab did the dub on Larry Rivers sax playing and Anita Ellis was the singer. That's an Amram piece in the opening.

    I read Kerouac's books and other so-called "beat" novels in my adolescence, but could barely get through Desolation Angels in more recent years. All I can say about this non-movie full of disconnected words is, what the hell is it supposed to be?

      The Bouwerie. You know. The navel. The omphalos for reflexive sprezzatura broken sense that was supposed to liberate beautiful young men from da rulez. A greasy walk-up with bad lighting. A noplace to get to. And they got there, and it wasn't as good as they hoped.

      I did the same thing. A nice diversion from the great literary canon of standard works, but it never really moved beyond adolescence. Same thing with Ken Kesey. Just a reflection of privileged self-indulgence that most in society didn't enjoy.

    I attended a poetry reading, by Gregory Corso at Umass/ Boston, and even shared an elevator ride with him down to the lobby, afterwards, whereby he mischievously hit on a middle aged lady, just for fun.
    He really did have a magical way with words, in the reading. I can see why he became such an icon.
    But this film is so obnoxiously pretentious! Cringeworthy! Also happened to meet Robert Frank at an awards ceremony in NYC, towards the end of his life. Totally full of himself.
    Not a friendly guy at all, in person. Probably believes all the praise heaped upon him.
    That’s my two cents…

      @@hd-xc2lz Nope. Although enshrined in the Wikipedia entry on Baraka, this is incorrect. Always check the footnotes. In this case, the Wikipedia footnote takes you to a Gerald Early piece called "The Case of Leroi Jones/Amiri Baraka." In that piece, it is Early who characterizes both Taylor and Baraka as uncharitable. Taylor never said this about Baraka, but he did say Baraka didn't understand his music.
