 The People vs. Larry Flynt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The People vs. Larry Flynt is a 1996 film directed by Miloš Forman about the rise and legal problems of pornographic magazine editor Larry Flynt.
Larry Flynt had a cameo appearance, playing the ruling judge in the scene depicting his first trial.
One of the issues addressed in the film is,"...ask yourself the question, what is more obscene: sex or war?" In the movie, Woody Harrelson, as Flynt, explains that murder is illegal, but if you take a picture of it you may get your name in Time Magazine or maybe win a Pulitzer Prize.

 Larry Flynt: California Hustle - Paul Walfield - MensNewsDaily.com·
Larry also doesn’t seem to understand that if you portray yourself as a champion of free speech and call for the death of people who speak their mind in opposition to your views, you are someone who cannot be trusted.
Larry Flynt, publisher and soon to be candidate for governor of California wants everyone to know that he is a champion of free speech.
Larry says that he planned the event long before he decided to run for governor and it is just a coincidence that his political career and his prayer for Bill O’Reilly’s death came out at about the same time.

 Metroactive Movies The People vs. Larry Flynt
At the trial, Flynt put on a better display than could be seen in his magazines, stating among other things that a committee including David Lee Roth, Ted Nugent and Congressman Larry McDonald had helped him write the parody, and that he, Flynt, had witnessed affidavits that Falwell had indeed slept with his own mother.
Flynt is surrounded by a team of beat-looking apostles (particularly the one and only Crispin Glover, wonderfully evocative of some of the more hopeless cases of the era, as a strangled-voiced, one-eyed pothead).
Flynt is shot and left paralyzed, and small-minded moral crusaders close in for the kill.

 The People vs. Larry Flynt
"The People vs. Larry Flynt" is a film that can comfortably accommodate both Justice Antonin Scalia's comments on satire and libel and the loony, trashy extravagance of the Flynts living high on the hog.
Larry is influenced by her just long enough to have an epiphany ("Where'd you learn that damn word?" Althea asks suspiciously) and devote Hustler disastrously to religious porn.
The real Flynt plays a judge in one scene, sitting near Harrelson just long enough to remind the audience that a beaming, attractive Larry Flynt is very much a movie invention.

 Review: The People vs. Larry Flynt
With varying degrees of success, The People vs. Larry Flynt presents a character study of its main subject, a look at how he raised an empire from a small group of strip bars, and the sometimes-tender, sometimes- turbulent love story between Flynt and his wife, Althea (Courtney Love).
The most moving aspect of the film is undoubtedly the relationship between Larry and Althea, and the scenes of these two together contain elements of eroticism and genuine romance.
Of course, if that's all Larry Flynt was -- a textbook examination of First Amendment rights -- this would be a rather dry experience.

 The People Vs. Larry Flynt
Larry Flynt (Harrelson), the scurrilous publisher of Hustler magazine, is painted here as an ironic American hero -- a scumbag forced into political awareness by his legal battles.
Both movies look at their disreputable subjects with rose-colored hindsight: Ed Wood was a nice guy who loved making movies (not a talentless hack), and Larry Flynt was a freedom fighter (not a sleazeball).
We know what happened: Flynt, by then paralyzed from the waist down by a sniper's bullet, won his case and made it safe for the press to lampoon public figures.

 The People vs. Larry Flynt
More than any other movie I've seen in recent years, The People vs. Larry Flynt reveals the auteur theory to be -- at least in some cases -- a reprehensible lie.
Even more impressive are Edward Norton, in (yawn) yet another first-rate performance, as Flynt's idealistic young attorney; and Woody Harrelson's younger brother Brett, who, as Larry Flynt's younger brother Jimmy, is so believably amused and exhausted by Larry's shenanigans that I sometimes wished the movie were about him.
Forman's leaden direction saps much of the brash energy from Alexander & Karaszewski's script, but his work with actors is extraordinary; some of the movie's best scenes were largely improvised by Harrelson and Courtney Love, both of whom richly deserve their Golden Globe nominations (just kidding, they're both terrific).
