"Hemingway and Gailhorn": The hard man's literary talk is silent

The TV movie produced by HBO, which lasts two and a half hours, is directed by Philip Kaufman, the director of Quill, and starred by British mature men Cliff Owen and Nicole Kidman. Trying to reinterpret and restore Hemingway’s magnificent life. First, start with the memory of his third wife Gailhorn 30 years later, from the encounter between the two to the Spanish Civil War, Cuba, Finland, Germany, and the United Kingdom. China’s meeting with Chairman Jiang and Zhou Enlai’s secret meeting have always revolved around the love story of the two people's reluctance, until the divorce and breakup, the old Hemingway committed suicide, and the recollection of Gailhorn’s recollection interview ended.

If this is all about Hemingway, it is indeed a bit far-fetched and unconvincing. Hemingway's male mighty side alone was ambiguous, perhaps because of the limited budget, there was no Hemingway bullfighting, and there were no scenes of injuries in the battlefield. He only used two fishing games to perfuse the matter, except for the quarrel with Russian officers. The big quarrel with Gailhorn and bed intercourse are far from the image of a literary tough guy. In order to express the supremacy of the United States, the director used other low-level methods to do everything. Gailhorn rescued the children who bombed the streets in Spain like a virgin, and quarreled with the chairman of the Chiang Kai-shek for nothing. The disgusting denture meeting, the Chinese streets where cholera spreads, and the tap water that made his hands sore, at last did not slander Zhou Enlai too much, but the image made people speechless.

Of course, the director said nothing about the close exchanges between Hemingway and Castro, the national treasure-class national hero. Hemingway was recruited as a KGB spy in 1941, and he didn’t have a word to say. The FBI agents kept the old age under the 24-hour surveillance of FBI agents. Hemingway's anxiety led to a psychological breakdown, and the secret passage of suicide with a gun was an understatement. It is seamless to cover up all the unspeakable deeds of Hemingway in front of the American people. In fact, this is nothing. No one is willing to discredit the face of his country’s national treasures. However, such a strongly inclined way of expression, People still can't help but complain. If you want to make an epic love story, you should take good shots. The black and white and color pictures are intertwined with each other. All kinds of recorded fragments echo together, and the texture is strong and the shuttle is appropriate. Isn't it good? No, this is the American way of doing things? When complimenting yourself, you will feel uncomfortable if you don't sarcastically say a few words about others?
