A plot of deep still water and conflict

The still water is deep, and at the same time there are relatively strong conflicts. It is a very good movie, with a bit of British drama feeling.

"Those who are willing to accompany you for the rest of their lives, why would you hurt him?" Wolf, a genius, is like a child who has not grown up, selfish, arrogant, he doesn't know what to do with enough time, he needs someone like Max Friends, masters, and co-editors, it is precisely because of Max that he became the leading actor.

As for the portrayal of Max in the movie, from the very beginning, everyone in the car is black and white and sleepy, but Max's face is full of light. When reading the manuscript, you can see that Max is the whole person. The real male lead of the film (of course, the title is also very obvious). Max, closer to life, he has a large family, several writer friends, and a work partner who only greets him when he is delivering letters or when someone is looking for him. He embraces people and emotions other than writing, so he understands better life, so he would fight over Scott and Wolff and blame him. Although Wolfe brought him excitement, such as swinging his body to the beat of jazz, he knew what responsibility was and what restraint was. He is talented. After his revision, Wolff's text is more important and secondary. I like his revision of Wolff's content very much, especially the blue-eyed paragraph. Such a Max is really admired and liked.

There is also a plot in the movie that surprised me, that is, Kidman came to Max after the first edition of "Angel" and said that Wolff's first book was written for her, and she didn't need her anymore. The two books were written for him, so Wolfe didn't need him anymore, and had to say goodbye to him. When I saw this, I felt that this woman who was frustrated in love and a little extreme was too arbitrary, but in the end, she was really right. Well, look, how well Kidman knew Wolfe, or how easily the genius Wolfe was like a child. So it's very distressing, why I can't figure it out and leave. genius world.

    Has this movie gone wrong? Is it writing Perkins or Wolfe or their friendship? But I really like it, although the story is unclear, but the language of the shots is still very good. The actor is so good. Uncle Colin's tears really hit the heart of the heart. He was originally a steady and introverted character, but he would stamp his feet and dance and smash the glass when he was emotional. The suffocating supernatural character gives five stars

    Maybe everyone is Caliban, we think he's weird, but we don't understand him! And he only needs someone who understands him to appear...

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."

  • [last lines]

    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.
