      Genius--Genius is Peerless Masterpiece

      The friendship of two men and the director of a corrupt country, such a combination makes people's first reaction: this will be a work that is full of love. However, the director told the audience with practical actions that this is really just a film about friendship. This is a biographical film starring the talented writer Wolff and his editor Perkins, perhaps the reason for the first direct. The ups...

      Genius--A Classic Work Worth Admiring

      "Genius Catcher" is a biographical film about a legendary American publishing wizard, Maxwell Perkins, who helped genius writer Thomas Wolf edit and publish "Angels, Hopes of the Future." They transformed "Township," "Time and River," and other immortal masterpieces into the stories of great writers. Long before he discovered Wolfe, Perkins had edited and...

      Talented Catcher: Another Farewell My Concubine

      The friendship between Max Perkins and Wolff runs through the entire story, and they both hover between the two life states of frustration and poetry! Colin Firth's Perkins is usually a boring man who loves his wife and five lovely daughters, but they are not the focus of his life. He doesn't go on family trips, doesn't support his wife's theatrical career, and still wants a son... His life has been dedicated to Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and Wolff, some of the later famous writers, especially...

      The title of this film should be changed to "The Boy's Collection"

      The title of the film should be changed to: Jude Law teaches you how to flirt with men

      Jude Law has also acted in a lot of love movies, Wilde's stunning Bosie. In the footprints, there is a beautiful and sexy boy who was almost taken care of by sugar daddy, the genius Ripley was loved to the point of being killed by the male protagonist, and Dumbledore, who played a beautiful love with Depp in the recent Divine Beast 2. This man, damn it, I suggest that all the girls come to watch and...

      The biography of the literary giant is a bit boring, but maybe it will be different if you combine the book and the movie

      Tom: I have no friends in my life except you (referring to Perkins)

      I may only meet one writer like Tom in my life, but you may not meet your daughters in the next life. Two extreme men who write books, not same-sex love, but Perkins has no son, treat Tom as his son , Tom is addicted to books, takes his works as seriously as himself, treats Perkins as a confidant, (to his wife is just a good helper who helped him write a book, when his wife puts the relationship between them When his...

      Wolff's degree between mania and mania, Jude Law can grasp it, and even a little boyish at times, facing the sea at the last moment calm hope he can keep it. The half-life that Wolff and Max knew each other well and was scattered in a straight-forward manner. His flying talent is not the subject of the film, but Max's "talent" in managing friendship. But the script is really Logan's old problem. The wording is elegant, but it lacks a full plot to cut in and flesh out the...

      Two old drama bones, one put and one put away. There are many touching points: the ecstasy of the manuscript being accepted, the entanglement and pain of editing the manuscript, the conflict between the writer's self and his family... I think those who have been publishing editors and authors may be touched by...

      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...

    Movie plot

    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...

    Movie quotes

    • Maxwell Evarts Perkins: Imagine you're a reader. You're wandering through a bookstore and lots of books, and you see a book titled "Trimalchio in West Egg" and you see one titled The "Great Gatsby."Which are you going to pick up?

      Thomas Wolfe: Gatsby!

      Maxwell Evarts Perkins: That's why Scott changed his original title. He knew it needed a bit more meat.

    • Maxwell Evarts Perkins: To be a novelist, you have to select. You have to shape and sculpt.

      Thomas Wolfe: Why?

      Maxwell Evarts Perkins: Because we've been working for two years and the book's only 100 pages shorter!

    • Thomas Wolfe: So I've disappointed you yet again.

      Maxwell Evarts Perkins: Yes, very much.

      Thomas Wolfe: Well, I'm sorry I'm not decent enough for your fine dinner parties and your fine friends. But before you drag me out to the woodshed, I think you ought to look at who's giving the lesson. Am I supposed to grow up like you?

      Maxwell Evarts Perkins: No, Tom, but you're supposed to grow up.
