The film is based on a true story
Writer and editor meet in a hurry
He has contributed two good books - "Angel, Looking at Hometown" and "Time and River"
Writer says he thanked Max for being with him through the most painful days of his life
He dedicated his second book to his editor
The editor said he was always uneasy himself
Does he really look like a good book?
Or just changed what it was meant to convey
"It looks good, okay?"
late 1920s
The unknown Thomas Wolfe (Jude Law) came to New York with a literary dream
And his lengthy autobiographical novel
Fitzgerald, Hemingway and other writers have been discovered
Literary editor Max Perkins (Colin Firth) fancy
Perkins slashes length of article for Wolff
They fought together for countless days
Stop together on countless streets to revise manuscripts
The book was a huge success when it was finally published
Wolff also instantly became a rising star in the literary world
And this book is his famous novel "Angel, Looking at Hometown" that has been passed down to later generations.
Perkins and Wolfe worked more closely after this
Thomas decides to start writing his second novel
Under the uninterrupted creation of his writings
A novel with more than 5,000 manuscript pages and gorgeous words has taken shape
He said to Max "look good, okay?"
Because it's his work
He hopes that besides himself, more people who really understand this book will study it carefully
But even if the text is gorgeous and emotional
But it also makes people criticize it for being too long and not concise.
So Thomas and Max got caught up in endless editing work
But Thomas couldn't easily give up every word he wrote of his love
At first they cooperated with each other
The expression of love at first sight at the beginning
Thomas agrees with Max's idea
How to highlight its stunning astonishment in the middle of a crowd of gorgeous expressions
Only become concise, only unadorned
However, the longer the work goes on
The easier it is to make people tired and nervous
they start arguing
Even in the process of modification Thomas is constantly improving
In response to the description of the captain's life in the book, he hastily wrote another 50 pages
This made Max very angry. He criticized Thomas for refining his language.
I was ridiculed by Thomas. Fortunately, Thomas Tai's text editor was not him.
The latter book "War and Peace" should only have a description of war
But when the book was actually published
They are completely united on the same front
Letter from Max to Thomas who was traveling in France at the time
Here comes the news that the new book has received great acclaim
They look forward to meeting again and having a good conversation
"That man discovered you"
This friendship should not be discarded at will
After the new book was well received
Max gets emotional from time to time
One day, when he was drunk, he came to Max's house
rhetoric made fun of once-popular author Scott
Regardless of his sick wife and his current predicament
He had a big fight with Max
In fact, Thomas is a very thoughtful and caring writer.
He once lamented when he saw long lines of relief lining the streets
"My book My Trajectory of Life doesn't help these poor people
what happened to our country"
It's just that people tend to become frivolous and selfish when things are going well
Later when Max approached Scott again to apologize to him
Scott's words woke him up
He should really apologize to Max
The only man who saw his talent and believed in him when everyone rejected him
This partner who has accompanied him countless times through the tormented days of revising his works
The friend who gave him countless advice and inspiration
It is a pity that he will not personally thank and apologize again.
A sudden illness took away the young writer of great talent
Max once said that "writers like Thomas
I may only meet one in my life"
It shows that he attaches great importance to Thomas
The fact that Thomas died made it difficult for Max to accept
Silent choking at the phone booth
The solemn look on Thomas' last letter
He respects Thomas as a writer more than a friend
Thomas may be a genius
He is the Bole who captured the amazing talent of genius
when time is limited
Where else can we focus our efforts ?
Since Max and Thomas discussed and met all day
Their closeness arouses the jealousy of Wolff's girlfriend (Nicole Kidman).
This unwarranted prejudice has caused her and Thomas to quarrel countless times
She complained that Thomas was busy writing novels and only interacted with Max
Thomas criticized her for not understanding
Obviously his novel is at a critical moment of crisis
In fact, it's just a simple time allocation problem
We naturally focus our time on things we think are more important
It's Ms. Wolfe's love too lowly
It was Thomas who was too focused on himself
None of them are correct examples
Max, who understands all this, sympathizes with Ms. Wolf's experience
to reflect more deeply
He apologises to wife after missing holiday with daughters
They quarreled about it before they set off.
There are times you can never make up for
We call these times "accompanying"
It may be to accompany the work partner to complete the amazing work
It may be to accompany his wife to continue and preserve the love between them
It may be to accompany children to witness their growth every moment
I just hope you can tell the difference
No regrets after many years
At the end of the article, I want to tell everyone that Guangxiu also opened his own public account
