Love the incompetent

I woke up too early, I just found a movie "Genius Catcher", I just read its translation, I felt like a boring and profound movie, it seemed to be very famous, and then I searched and found that I remembered it wrongly, that one is called "Genius Catcher" Good Will Hunting".

One of the male protagonists of the movie is the author of "Angels, Looking Back at Hometown". He asked me what the name meant when I heard it. I said, people become angels when they die, and they want to go home. (When it comes to this, I think I may not remember a lot of things, but when I touch a certain memory point, I can describe a lot, but I can even memorize dialogues. After a long time, I forgot the authenticity of those things. , there are some things that I don't even know if they are dreams or what. I also forget the authenticity of the content of those things, because every time I think about it, I am polishing it over and over again, and in the end it is not an objective existence, but becomes a what I created.)

This author is portrayed as a brilliant lunatic with an infinite passion for writing, only watching movies, I don't think someone like him can achieve himself, arrogant, selfish, he can love 10,000 people in the book, said a Millions of love words, but in reality, you can't learn to love someone.

When he talks a lot, he is always afraid of saying the wrong thing, and then he talks a lot more. As a result, the more and more wrong he says, he seems to be in a hurry. He must be afraid of being alone. When a lonely person finds a soulmate, the first feeling is that he will never do it again. Lost, I feel the same.

Unfortunately, the more you try to catch it, the more you lose it.

His wife is, and so is he.

    The counterattack of the man behind the masterpiece of marrying a man. Except for Jude Law's tilted head, it can't be regarded as corrupt. The team is full of powerful actors, Jude Law is a little too hard, and I like Fitzgerald played by Guy Pierce the most.

    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.

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.
