Directed by Michael Grandage, the film depicts the friendship between the great American writer Thomas Wolfe and his book editor Max Perkins.
In the late 1920s, the obscure Thomas Wolfe ( Jude Law ) came to New York with a literary dream, and his lengthy autobiographical novels were first discovered by the literary editor Max Perkin, who had discovered Fitzgerald, Hemingway and other writers. Colin Firth took a fancy to it. Perkins cut down the length of Wolff's articles drastically, and finally the book was a great success when it was published, and Wolfe also became a new star in the literary world . ".
After this, Perkins and Wolfe work more closely together, but their closeness arouses the jealousy of Wolfe's girlfriend ( Nicole Mary Kidman ).

On the one hand is to discover his own Bole, and the other is his girlfriend who has been with him for many years, how will he choose.

    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!

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.
