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 literary world they constructed. This is a person who can't create the world but can help you perfect it.
