In high school, after my friend read Catch 22, a postmodern book on American literature, and kept talking about it almost as often as I would complain, I decided to save a little of the dignity of American literature.
"You should say, there's not much to see in American literature other than Hemingway," I said.
Buddy, "Plus Melville"
Me, "Plus Tennessee Williams"
Friends, "AGREED AND PERIOD"
It just so happens that these writers all appeared in this leisure seeker.
I can relate to all the insignificant details scattered throughout the film.
Hemingway's writing style is minimalist. He almost never describes the inner changes of the protagonist. He likes to end a story with a few but powerful strokes.
Melville's Moby Dick, MOBY DICK, I learned that the strange title of the book was the name of Moby Dick after I got the original book after I went to college.
In the KW hotel, the waiter and the old man were chatting about the whale skeleton in The Old Man and the Sea. That skeleton is like the memory of the people discussed in the movie. Even if the memory of the past is gone, their existence is like the skeleton of a whale standing alone on the beach, which is respectable in itself.
There is also the famous table in the former residence of kw. The tour guide will tell you that Hemingway only works every morning, his famous standing writing method, he sharpens the pencil while thinking about the plot, and he likes to use the pencil to revise the manuscript first.
The old lady said to his suicide, "I never understand."
Hemingway is said to have been severely afflicted by illness in his later years, and he often told his last wife about his pain.
His wife scoffed, "Shouldn't you endure like the tough guys you wrote about?"
Hemingway sneered, "It means I can bear it. When I can't bear it, you will know when it is."
Then, we all knew that day.
Life is either suicide or homicide.
Rousseau criticized doctors in "Emile", saying that they can only encourage people's fear of death, but do not help death itself. In the end, the old grandfather and the old lady escaped from the hospital together, and this sentence came to my mind.
At the beginning of the film, when the two chose West Lock Island, and the unloaded shotgun, the fear of death in their hearts should have dissipated.
There are many cats in the former residence of West Lock Island. Did Hemingway like cats? I am not sure. Did you know?
