"If you print anything I say today, print that." The People Vs. Larry Flynt is the latest film from director Milos Forman depicting the life and struggles of Hustler creator Larry Flynt. Starring Woody Harrelson as Flynt and Cortney Love as Flynt's wife, Althea Pleasure, the film all but portrays Flynt as the Patrick Henry of porn. Flynt is a First Amendment freedom fighter whose Supreme Court case decisions have stretched the limits of what is allowable in American society. "The question is, am I a smut peddler or a First Amendment crusader?" the real Flynt sums up. "I'd say a little bit of both. Some people will always perceive me as a scoundrel with no real iaste, a dirty old man in the back room cranking Mag icMaze VVSQNKHEBYAWTRO LJGEBYWLUR I PMNK IGDNBZXEVSDEQOM KKQ...EAVENWORTH)IH AGECCTAELRONYWA NWUSONTX I ACOLBY SHAWNEEAPAN I LAS ANLTJHMRHFOSECA SYXVTUSQWNCSIPN MAKEPOTKJ AA I H N F ECBZDOOWAELMY - XG ~.„ 'the 'Mimi words in the diagram.

Others are my ardent fans. Milos Forman (director of the film) calls me a devil with wings--maybe that's what I am. All I know is that the debate is never going to go away. Not in my lifetime, anyway." The only one to decide that question is you, the viewer. Anti porn feminists are furious about the film and what they perceive as the glamorization of a violent misgynist. Others say that if you take away the porn, you have a story about a boy born in a log cabin that creates a million-dollar empire, gets shot for what he believes, runs for President, and at the end of the day, gets vindicated by the Supreme Court. Many say that Flynt's publication is just a farce and should not be taken seriously. Others say that Flynt's pictures arc unforgivable in depicting violent sexual acts against women. Freedom of speech or bad taste? Is it an honest portrayal or a glorified dirty old man? As the first Amendment implies, you have the right to decide for yourself.
