Robert Towne is an old man born in LA in 34 years. He has a strong literary and artistic accent. The subject matter of this film is the most suitable. He has lived in LA all his life, and his knowledge of the city permeates every corner of the movie, whether it is the seasons or the wind, rain and evening of the day, the air or the gravel, he has a delicate feeling. The story was originally adapted from a novel, and it revolves around the life of a writer in the 1930s. The literary nature of the entire book is still sufficient, and the dialogue is meaningful, which is quite rare in American films. On the contrary, the director's part has dragged on a bit. If you can get past some minor issues, you should have a better reputation.
The writer played by Colin Farrell published a book and came to LA Xun Meng with a draft of 150 yuan. He could spend a year in a small hotel for 150 dollars. At the beginning, he was even rich and waited every day. Inspiration, looking at the palm trees outside the window, blowing the dry wind from the depths of the desert, in a daze. After penniless, I quickly published a short story for another 175. You can also go to the bar to order whiskey and smoke a cigar, and fight with the waitress played by Selma Hayek (the first time he met, he fell in love with her wearing sandals. ’S feet), meeting book fans, wandering around, smoking cigarettes, fake pain, thinking, and dealing with the widowed old man next door (played by Donald Sutherland, the big name in "Big Name"), almost finished talking to the publisher about writing The plan requires a deposit of 250, which is enough to rent a house by the sea, raise a dog, fall in love, write, be depressed...
Damn! It’s great in the 1930s, it’s great to be a writer~~
Look, I’ve begun to shamefully yearn for this kind of life...
