This film is adapted from Scott Berger's "The Genius Editor", which mainly tells the story between the genius editor Perkins and the genius writer Thomas Wolfe: the unknown Wolff ran into a wall with the manuscript of the novel. Perkins, who was entrusted by a friend to see the manuscript, broke the standard format of traditional novels and published "Angel, Looking at Hometown", thus making Wolff famous in the first battle.
With the deepening of cooperation, Wolff, who is illusory with the psychedelic eyes of the flashy world, also has a estrangement with Perkins, in addition to the jealousy of his girlfriend and the puzzlement of his family. , as well as the comments of the society, they have been tearing them apart. In addition, the intersection and evaluation of Hemingway, Fitzgerald and Wolff are also interspersed.
A writer child who has not grown up faces it with adoration, and an editor father who has left the society, if only a little is not protected, he will lose the purpose of life and the meaning of life. But life can't be just the other person, and there are also responsibilities that need to be borne by oneself - the child who is waiting to be fed, the wife who is waiting to come home late, the parents with gray hair. In the play, Fitzgerald said it well, "cherish those who are willing to share with you and walk with you." I hope you can find someone who can accompany you "to feel the warmth, glory, and power of life together." people.
A person without empathy, compassion, cannot grow into a successful writer. Immersed in the world of my own vain fantasy, I don't pay any feelings, I only regard myself as a passer-by in life. People who have not experienced the pain of growing up alone and have been protected all the time, once they are blinded by the exaggeration and grotesque of society, lose themselves and embark on the wrong path is inevitable.
Novels can be fictional, but "people have feelings, and feelings are not fictional." The connection between people is the maintenance product of each emotion. Without emotional dedication, the connection will inevitably be broken. How does a person choose to live his life, is he selfish and only caring for himself, or is he helping others? The benevolent see benevolence, the wise see wisdom!
