Question about Radcliffe/DeHaan relationship in KYD

Thanks for your response. And thanks for posting that link. I don't want to read the script before I see the movie so I'll read it afterwards.

I get the impression that young Ginsberg developed a crush on all the Beats at some point. Here are pics of him running to hug Jack Kerouac. I wonder what this scene is all about?

I have not read a lot of biographies about the Beats, but the short one I read written by James Grauerholz for And The Hippos Were Boiled In Their Tanks, who is the bibliographer and literary executor of the estate of William S. Burroughs, did mention Lucien Carr's "youthful bisexuality" and why it's not well documented. Because Burroughs, Kerouac and Ginsberg simply refrained from talking about it in previous biographies about them. Grauerholz mentioned Carr and Ginsberg having several sexual encounters in 1944 (same year as the murder), so did Kammerer and Ginsberg. Apparently these were mentioned in Ginsberg's earlier journals (The Book of Martyrdom and Artifice) which were published in 2006, a year after Carr died. Also Carr told Burroughs that he never had sexual relationship with Kammerer, Burroughs believed Carr because he knew if anything between them happened, Kammerer would have told Burroughs.

Basically Graueholz explained the reason why he promised Lucien Carr why Kerouac and Burroughs' Hippos was not going to be publish in Carr's lifetime. It started when Ginsberg begged Burroughs to pacify Carr when Ginsberg mentioned his sexual relationship with Carr in New York Magazine interview, Ginsberg was unsure if he mention this in the interview. At that time Carr was already working at UPI and no one knows about his younger years or the murder, and Ginsberg wanted to "soothe Lucien's savage breast". Burroughs' copyright lawyer filed a defamation of character and copyright infringement law suit against New York magazine. Graueholz translated this as "unauthorized, endorsement-type of one' name or likeness" of Hippos.

Personally, my interpretation of it is, how can they publish Hippos when Kerouac and Burroughs intentionally represented Carr and Kammerer with pseudonyms in the book, then Burroughs filing defamation of character law suit to protect their friend Carr.

From the script I read, they did play on the Carr, Kammerer, Ginsberg triangle and I don't see any risk of character assassination on Carr or Kammerer's part if you base it from Grauerholz' story.

Didn't Ginsberg himself claim he had a sexual relationship with Carr in his journals? There certainly seems to have been some kind of affair between them even if they never went all the way.
