A river that saves angels

Hemingway, Thomas Wolfe, Fitzgerald, "Angel, Look Hometown", "The Great Gatsby", "Farewell to Arms"... These glittering names in the history of American literature are inseparable from Maxwell Perkins. Bole's kindness of knowing and meeting actually opened up such a great era. In the slight intoxication of jazz, wine and tobacco, in the incense of typewriter ink, rising out...

There are many details in the film that touch the heart. Perkins' favorite music is related to the river, Thomas dedicated "Time and River" to Perkins. Everyone says that a father's love is like a mountain. But the trickle is equally heartwarming. This endless river is like Perkins' friendship with Thomas.

There is also time that flows more and more, and we miss the era that passed by. It belongs to the taste of Guerlain Mitsokou in 1919, chypre, golden and sad. To respect that era, use Perkins' favorite martini. He is a soul saviour and a true angel.

I happened to be reading "The Feast of the Flow" recently, and the book Hemingway and Fitzgerald is also very interesting...

    In fact, biographical films can be made wonderfully. After all, many powerful people have a magnificent life. But this film aims at the writer's creative process. How many writers' creative process is not boring? Not many viewers want to see how you modify bad sentences and wording in the theater!

    Maxima often has it, but Bole does not often have it! A story of mutual achievement between writers and editors! The male protagonist is too scumbag, and he has no sense of responsibility and responsibility! And the movie is too literary! Just like film critics hate animated sci-fi, I also hate this kind of literary film! A writer's life is better than a documentary! After all, movies are meant to have impact, and such a dull movie is not as real as a book!
