The biography of the literary giant is a bit boring, but maybe it will be different if you combine the book and the movie

Tom: I have no friends in my life except you (referring to Perkins)

I may only meet one writer like Tom in my life, but you may not meet your daughters in the next life. Two extreme men who write books, not same-sex love, but Perkins has no son, treat Tom as his son , Tom is addicted to books, takes his works as seriously as himself, treats Perkins as a confidant, (to his wife is just a good helper who helped him write a book, when his wife puts the relationship between them When his love is heavier than his books, he feels that his wife is inferior to his own works) They communicate through books, Perkins loves his wife and daughter equally, and between work, and his wife Both my daughter and I understand this old stubbornness, but Tom's wife abandoned her family, career, work, for Tom, but Tom did this to her. Seeing life from a window, no amount of gorgeous words can understand the true meaning of life. As a gold editor, Perkins forged friendships with writers such as Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Wolff in the era of the Great Depression in the United States.

I haven't read the original book, "Angel, Looking to My Hometown", I will read it when I have time.

    A mediocre piece. Although the cast is good, eh! Or read a book.

    The acting skills of the actors are amazing, so the show will not be too boring, otherwise, it will focus on the content of the plot and put people to sleep in minutes.

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.
