It is indeed a well-established biopic. Although the supporting characters are slightly weak, they are still flesh and blood. The three women [count Zelda who only showed one side] are not the vassals of the men of that era, humble and pitiful. As far as the protagonist's emotions are concerned, it is really extreme opposition but there is a common node connecting the two, more like father and son than friendship and other descriptions. Many people say that the ending of the film makes people cry, but my tears were indeed when Max read Wolff's first draft, and the camera was given to Jude Law. There was only Uncle Lian's English accent in my ears, but I was drunk to death in Wolff's writings. Love at first sight. Words are a sharp scalpel, showing you beauty and ugliness, life and soul.

    When they were sitting on the top of the building and the ball was leaning on Colin's shoulder, he and he had already surpassed the so-called love defined by the world. Perhaps death is the most affectionate memory.

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.
