When you write, you become a real writer
The Beat Generation, the only one I have read recently is Kerouac's "On the Road", which happened to be read during the Spring Festival last year. The translation was very poor. It was translated by a local scholar who could not even figure out the car brand Yes, when it comes to the important jazz part, it's even more confusing. A little earlier, I read Ginsberg's poems when I was in middle school. At that time, I was very young, and I thought I knew little about the meaning of it. It was just...

Abandoning the typical three-part drama, what is shown is a journey, a messy life.
The photography is exquisite and steady. From the poster to most of the shots in the film, it seems to be a warm afternoon with warm sunshine, which makes the protagonist calm even in the predicament, and finds a continuation in each voice-over that seems to be out of place. Motivation for life.
The male protagonist spoke slowly and leisurely. When faced with being fired, his seat was occupied, his...

It didn't matter that the actor was Matt Dillon. The reason for the admission was that the director Bent Hamer was the one who filmed the Widowmaker's Kitchen. After seeing the Widowmaker's Kitchen, I knew the director's sense of humor, and at the same time brought out his insights.
The story is adapted from Charles Bukowski's semi-autobiography of the same name, about Herny Chinaski, a self-proclaimed homemaker. He kept writing and sending it to his favorite magazines, though he...

The resonance here is full of tragic grief.
"My drunken soul is sadder than all the dead Christmas trees in this world." That's a pretty literary name. The story told in "The Miscellaneous Generalist" is nothing but the bumpy life of an ordinary person who maintains a rebellious normality. He said that he is a writer, addicted to alcohol, estrus, doing odd jobs, being dismissed, getting sick, persistent, mediocre, and keeping a distance from the rich and loving. His aura is very similar to Hank in "California Infatuation". He is also a...

Henry Chinaski: All I want to do is get my check and get drunk.

Henry Chinaski: [voiceover] If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs, and maybe your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery, isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance. Of how much you really want to do it. And you'll do it, despite rejection in the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods. And the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.
Pickle Factory boss: Writer huh? Are you sure?
Henry Chinaski: No, I'm not. I'm halfway through a novel.
Pickle Factory boss: What's it about?
Henry Chinaski: Everything.
Pickle Factory boss: It's about... cancer?
Henry Chinaski: Yes.
Pickle Factory boss: How about my wife?
Henry Chinaski: She's in there too.
