Demarco 2022-06-27 12:10:03

The friendship between Max Perkins and Wolff runs through the entire story, and they both hover between the two life states of frustration and poetry! Colin Firth's Perkins is usually a boring man who loves his wife and five lovely daughters, but they are not the focus of his life. He doesn't go on family trips, doesn't support his wife's theatrical career, and still wants a son... His life has been dedicated to Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and Wolff, some of the later famous writers, especially the literary world they constructed. This is a person who can't create the world but can help you perfect it.

    The biographical debut of American author Thomas Wolfe from fame to untimely death, the work benefits from the work and personal relationships of two male protagonists with different styles, but Colin Firth's precise and restrained way of acting Even more impressive than Jude Law's tiresome over-the-top rendition. But the film, which is too traditional in both narrative and aesthetics, is underwhelmed by its stereotypical interpretation of literary genius and its flat portrayal of supporting characters.

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.

    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.
