The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996)

Based on true incidents about Life of Larry Flynt who is now the CEO of Larry Flynt publications famously known for Porn based Hustler Magazine just like Playboy Magazine. A simple Moonshine selling kid owns a dance bar and later improvises it by managing to start a weekly newsletter of his own raises to became a millionaire using porn as a buisness. Sex was legal those days but illicit images on a magazine was illegal. So peoples eyes from nearby community turns towards him and they start a legal proceeding against Larry Flynt. From then on , Flynt takes on each trail in a weird way to prove his Right to information and Right to speak as per U.S First amendment law. Even his lower half of body goes into paralysis when there was a murder attempt on him leaving him like that. Irrespective of all that , he still charges against the legal proceeding , people to prove what he feels right to speak. Though i feel the message was okay being said that its based on true incidents , but when it comes to movie it was weirdly captured . His girlfriend and later wife was disgusting to watch in the movie and it was not too comfortable to see two drug addicts in the movie living their life in a weird way. When Flynt wins the final case , it was not even gave any impact to us nor the reason he has to behave like a maniac inside the courthouse doesn't make any sense.True detective fame Woody Harrelsen gave a very good performance at first half but later i felt like it faded out. Considering it based on real incidents , we can watch it one time for sure.
