Let's talk about it first, it is indeed a neat movie, the photography and color tone are very good, the cast and the appearance of the actors are also worthy of the time and ticket price. Probably because I was looking forward to the "text editing" aspect of this film, and the film does show how editing cuts down on writers to make them successful. My expectations have been met, so I still think this movie is good. Another reason may be that I don't know much about literature, so I don't have any preconceptions about what the film presents, so the acceptance level is quite high. Including the editor starting to read the writer's work, the process of editing and redacting, and the cameos of Fitzgerald and Hemingway, both feel fresh and find some familiarity through the American literary gossip that has been gained from the film over the years. (I know American literature from watching movies.)
Actually, I have nothing to say about performances. It is difficult for me to find such a thing as "poor acting" by foreigners. For me, extremely bad performances only exist on the Spring Festival Gala stage or Lin Zhiling. The TV series played by my sister (but I think sister Zhiling is very good, but really stop acting). The already crazy character is actually difficult to handle, and he has to speak with a southern American accent. Has Cass considered McConaughey Black? But with your toes, you can figure out how he played this role. In addition, this is the second time Jude Law and Nicole have acted as a couple, the last time was "Cold Mountain". I think Nicole's character is not bad, and the editor's wife is also very good.
Not bad, it's actually a plot. But this may not be possible, after all, it is a real person, and the style is this realistic style, and the space that can be used may not be easy to operate. Of course, that doesn't excuse the cliché of the plot. If you can focus more on the "editing" aspect (not this role), and be more concise about the family and emotions of the two male protagonists, it may make the movie more distinctive. In addition, it is said that it is the director's screen debut, so in fact, it can be regarded as a complete completion of the task. It's just that some emotions can be stronger and are not released. As a result, I made a warm literary film, and the plot was very step-by-step. If I knew about the writer or watched the film for the story, I would be disappointed.
After all, including the recent Clank Wolf 3, my biggest impression is.
Oh, how much I love the rain...
