Writer (boy) upbringing

The writer met editor Max at the most self-denying moment, was recognized as a best-selling author, earned? improved his life. With the success of the second book, it began to swell, pretentious, and even ignoring the pain of others, becoming complacent. Never really cared about other people, only one thing: writing. I don't know if all writers need such an ego. Another writer who pays more attention to life and responsibility is exhausted of inspiration, and it is difficult to write 1,000 words a day. The writer male protagonist paid too much attention to reputation and was afraid of being rejected by others. After being rejected by Max, he left and returned to the female protagonist. The heroine is right here, the writer and the hero have never been alone, never really understand what is important, and only know what is important when he finally lies in the hospital bed at the last moment of his life.

The best time is when the two of them sympathize with each other to discuss literature and chat and laugh together, but it is a pity that they cannot solve the "problem" very well when conflicts arise. I don't know if there is any protagonist who is solving the "problem". Very good at method.

    Very vulgar adaptation, mediocre camera language, exaggerated performance (don't talk about drama), a true story, but can't feel the authenticity of any character. Even though the need for popularization can be understood, what attracts and respects me in this industry is definitely not the power relations and growth education extracted from this film, but precisely the opposite of them.

    I really want to be like them. Like the old times, the best-selling book is literature, and it can sell 10,000 copies a month. Can you promise yourself to write 500 words a day? Qiu Hua's acting skills are really exaggerated. "Swing Gently" is my dad's favorite song, I cried like a dog when I heard it. While watching the end of the film, I wiped my tears with my arms, but fortunately I was wearing long sleeves. @太古UA

Genius quotes

  • Thomas Wolfe: Who better to talk to? The man who created something immortal. More and more I trouble myself with that. "The legacy." Will anyone care about Thomas Wolfe in 100 years? Ten years? When I was young, I asked myself that question every day.

    F. Scott Fitzgerald: I used to trouble myself like that every day. Now I ask myself, "Can I write one good sentence."

    Thomas Wolfe: [Max reading Tom's deathbed letter] Dear Max, I've got a hunch, and I wanted to write these words to you. I've made a long voyage and been to a strange country, and I've seen the dark man very close. And I don't think I was too much afraid of him. But I want most desperately to live. I want to see you again. For there is such an impossible anguish and regret for all I can never say to you, for all the work I have to do. I feel as if a great window has been opened on life. And if I come through this, I hope to God I am a better man and can live up to you. But most of all, I wanted to tell you, no matter what happens, I shall always feel about you the way I did that November day when you met me at the boat and we went on top of the building and all the strangeness and the glory and the power of life were below. Yours always, Tom.
