In the rotten world, few movies depict the friendship between men, and this film did not disappoint. There is no big scene in the whole movie, the only time is probably when the two of them are leaning against each other and standing on the roof overlooking the city. Colin Firth's restrained and restrained performance points to a calm, sharp and professional editorial image, while Jude Law's slightly exaggerated performance is completely in line with my imagination, a rough, enthusiastic, and a talented writer of his own way. The shots of the movie are always switching between characters, giving a lot of facial close-ups, eyes, expressions, and even body language, all of which are so dramatic, even when Colin Firth's slightly raised mouth corners sit in the bar and play with the music. The lightly shaking legs made it clear that his heart was not as well-behaved as the surface, but also had an unruly side. This is the pleasure of watching world-class performances, which cannot be replaced by the looks of today's little fresh meat. The friendship between writers and editors is established in the side-by-side battle of scrutinizing every word and thinking every night, wrestling with words, and ultimately winning of literature. We can't go back to that golden age, but editing is not a job to fix typos and bad sentences.
