The Right To Be Left Alone

Tue, 04/17/2007 - 8:51pm

Friday evening after seeing South of Ten & Radiant City I went home to have dinner, but two hours later I was at the Full Frame Festival again to see The Right To Be Left Alone.

This is a documentary about the life of Larry Flynt, a publisher of a pornographic magazine and a life-long activist for the freedom of speech. There is a fiction movie about Larry Flynt that I had never seen, and this documentary was interesting. The movie made a case that it is important that every generation learns and remembers how crucially important the right for free speech is.

Larry Flynt was scheduled to attend the movie (a world wide premiere) but couldn't make it for health reasons.

After seeing this film at Full Frame, I was amazed how much I learned about Larry Flynt and all the things he has done for the first amendment. I have never been into Hustler or focused on his life but he basically took a bullet for our freedom. I look at him in a completely new light and have so much respect for him. I hope this comes to more theaters soon.
