Movies that young literary people should watch

It's a realism movie with a cool climax, where the negative energy outweighs the positive energy. That's why it fails to surpass those family redemption films with bright and powerful endings in terms of sensationalism. When I just finished watching it, I thought it was so-so, and the bland ending was not the ending I wanted.

However, after settling down, many feelings lingered and it was difficult to let go.


Every young writer has a dream of being a writer. This dream may have originated from a wonderful and self-fulfilling writing experience many years ago. At that time, he only felt happy to construct a world of his own, but he did not know that the road to becoming a writer was cloudy. , thorny. Whether it is a writer or an artist, he is the most unhappy profession in the world, because he will constantly feel a failure, his life is like a wicked woman, and his ideal is a beautiful-looking back killer.

In the film, writing is the belief of the elder Flynn. He lived a life of loneliness and failure, supported only by the belief that there were only three writers in America, Mark Twain, Salinger and me. He seems optimistic and confident, takes all the difficulties encountered in life as a writer, responds with dignity to the rejection of his friends, and educates his children in a righteous and stern manner even when he has fallen into a homeless. However, compared with the embarrassing life, his decent words and deeds seem so hypocritical and powerless.

No one is a fool, who doesn't want to live a happy life? If you can't do it", you can go down to Yangzhou by riding a crane. You can also choose a small bridge and flowing water, like flowers and beautiful family members. However, old Flynn abandoned his wife and son, like a runaway Gauguin or Tolstoy. Fraud, jail, drunk driving, eviction from landlord, homeless. The suffering of reality will be turned into the details of the masterpiece, which he takes as the mantra of the mantra. The son, who had inherited only his literary talent, was acutely aware that every night his father questioned his beliefs in anger and sorrow.

This can't help but remind me of a piece of news about this year's Akutagawa Prize winner Tanaka Shinya. After graduating from high school, he sat at home writing and never went out to work. He wrote for ten years and was unemployed for ten years. Although his mother was very supportive, But he had to drink strong alcohol every night to sleep. Squatting at home is still so tangled, not to mention homeless.

Life is absurd. If you don't give meaning to the process, the end point is death. But people are made of clay, and the external wind, sword, frost and sword will inevitably cause inner contradictions and struggles. Runaway writers have the temperament of an inner wanderer. There is nowhere for ordinary people to put their spirit and hope in their happiness, but choosing wandering means choosing thorns and bad luck.

I don't know how many guys have sacrificed their normal lives for literature or art, but there are only a few who end up on the top of the pyramid. Outside the wall, those who want to launch an attack on the road of literature should advise them to be cautious when entering the business, and those who are inside the wall should encourage each other, and where their hearts go well is heaven.

    A little fresh, a little heavy taste, plus a little independent piece of feel. It's too easy to do this kind of film.

  • Nick Flynn: I'll pay for the mirror... as soon as I get a job.
