The People Vs Larry Flynt


A 1996 film, about the rise of pornographic magazine publisher and editor Larry Flynt, and his subsequent clash with the law. The film stars Woody Harrelson and is a partially idealised version of the controversial pornography publisher and how he became a defender of free speech for all people.

I am Inspired

I am amazed at the madness and chaos that goes on and how Larry Flynt deals with it, almost indifferently.

Trivia : Milos Forman (the director of the film)claims Courtney Love (the female lead in the film) showed up to their first meeting while under the influence of drugs. Just when he was going to dismiss her, he realized that Love was perfect for the role of Althea. Forman offered her the role on one condition: that Love would stay clean and undergo regular drug testing during filming. She complied. To this day, Love credits Forman with getting her off drugs which led to a career renaissance.
