This is a movie about genius among geniuses. So his name is Geniuses.
Days are like a gray wall, so we started looking for color. Time swayed from side to side, and we started looking for rhythm. The self in the phone selfie is so mediocre, so we start looking for genius.
After 15 years, the screenwriter Mr. John Logan finally completed the script in the gap between "Hugo", "007, the sky fell" and other blockbusters, and found him who was reluctant to think about it in the theater. Good friends, the front office of the corrupt country, made this "crazy" movie.
Why do you say "crazy"? Because geniuses are not crazy and cannot become demons, how can they command the rivers and lakes! Please raise the unruly sword!
So we saw a young man with a problem with his head. In the heavy rain, he didn't hold his umbrella, looking at the logo of a publishing company.
This is where the story begins.
Before watching this movie, my concept of book editing was to have a heart-to-heart with the author, help the author to follow the general direction of the construction of socialist civilization, correct the typos, arrange the publication of the book and the author's sales tour, and help the author. The author counts the money, and then spends the money for the author.
After watching the movie, I felt that I was too superficial and conducted a profound self-analysis, how could I think of the sacred work of the engineer of human civilization so much for reference only!
Look at Max and his writers, their beautiful faces, oh no, they are full of art! Their call to the times!
Yes, you see the famous editor Max Perkins (Colin Firth) who is worrying about the country and the people and his hat. Believe me, this hat is very important, the role is only one scene less than the male lead Colin Firth, and it has succeeded more than the male lead Jude Law!
Although Mr. Colin is always misunderstood as a facial paralysis, in this movie, there is a 99% chance that you will misunderstand him the same way. But I, who are as careful as tofu, discovered the essence of 1% through 99% of the appearance, and saw that his heart was like a computer CPU, running at the first speed beyond the universe and escaped the gravity of the earth. Standing on a commanding height, the The rare language of Hemingway, who is wild and uninhibited and loves freedom, will be the sentence that Fitzgerald, who climbed the ladder from the next door, had a great time pondering after losing his inspiration, and Thomas, who speaks fast (by Jude Law, the male protagonist of this article) Chasing the reincarnation chatter, breaking it apart with love and patience, crunching it for analysis, and then in the moment they gasp, back to the surface of the earth, in his sexy baritone, methodical and well-documented propose his amendments.
Only beautiful men can conquer beautiful men! Still a handsome man with invisible hair!
No wonder Thomas says out loud in public, "Max, I love you! I love you the most!"
Yes, at this point, if you haven't seen the film in its entirety, you may be thinking about it. But, I'm going to tell you that this is a serious film about a serious man-to-man relationship.
Lewis (Max's wife) said that Max always wanted a son, and God gave him 4 daughters, so he took Thomas Wolfe as his son.
Thomas Wolfe said that the last time he saw his father was on the train, and his life seemed to be just to get back to his father. After meeting Max, he regarded him as a father.
"I am rich in literary geniuses in the world, and it is nothing unusual to think about, but I just add some bricks and remove some tiles, and my whole body is probably only a few points that can really weigh a pound. If you want, take it."
So, a genius , met another genius. Give each other, and owe each other.
During the publication of his second book, Time and Rivers, Thomas thanked Max for his help with his work, and Max feared that his own revisions would ruin Thomas's work. This is an unsolved problem, but it is very disturbing.
The director said that they do not exist who achieves who, their relationship is mutual achievement.
Love each other, hurt each other. Two men's work around the clock hurts the woman around them.
The number of Max's daughters that came out was a bit surprising, and there were two very good women in the whole film.
One is Max's wife, a woman who gave up her career for her family. Gentle, virtuous, can be called the role model of the times.
One is Thomas' lover, a woman who abandoned her family for her own pursuit, not only her beloved theater career, but also Thomas. I especially love this scene, a beautiful, confident, graceful woman going retrograde among men, full of strength and hope, so beautiful.
In the 1920s, many people were struggling in the quagmire, and Thomas shouted with their own strength, "Let the past stay in the past, it's time to go in a new direction.
" The residual warmth is lingering, and it will not be forgotten for a long time. So I went to the library, borrowed "Angel, Looking at Hometown", turned to the first page, it started like this:
a stone, a leaf, a door that can't be found; say a stone, a leaf, a door. Say all the forgotten faces.
Naked, alone, we were banished. We were bored in the womb and did not know the face of our mother; from the prison of her flesh and blood, we came to this indescribable and inexpressible prison in the world.
Who among us really knows his brother? Has anyone explored the heart of its father? Who hasn't been locked up in prison for a lifetime? Who is not always a stranger, always alone?
what! Lost and deserted, lost in the sweltering labyrinth, lost in the brilliance of the stars, on this noisy, grey cinder-ground! Silent to remember, we go after the great, forgotten language, a door that cannot be found. Where is it? when?
Hey, the lost, the condolences, the return of the soul!
