Movie review

The movie "Rebell in the Rye", this literary and artistic film made me have an interest in the original work that I have never had before. I was told before that "The Catcher in the Rye" is not suitable for you to read. The book says too much. "Chaos", swear words are endless. Because of the tight academic pressure, I naturally gave up this book. It is until today that I saw such a documentary film about the author Salinger that made me intend to bring back to my reading schedule a book that has been missed for many years. For reading, I will never spend much time. Briefly talk about your feelings. In the film, someone repeatedly emphasized to the author that you are talented. This is not only an encouragement to the author's creation, but also an encouragement to the trauma he suffered after entering the war and hope that he can return to the writing state as soon as possible. The author encountered a bottleneck in his creation, and it was the trauma of the war that shaped the book. The author's rebellion and the inner loss of people after the war brought about a jump in sales. The shot that impressed me in the film was that the ice surface was hit again and again, making a crackling sound, which often made people feel anxious. Perhaps this symbolized the young man with a red hunting cap, yes. Ignorance, hypocritical disgust, yet willing to sink into it and unable to extricate themselves, produce pleasure, but also want to escape this reality, hope to disappear forever in people's vision of division and fragmentation. The swear words uttered under this tangled psychological emotion can naturally be accepted by us. It doesn't matter if it sounds nice or not. "Confusion, emptiness" seems to have become synonymous with that era. Where do we go and what is the meaning of life? ? The war has forced them to ask themselves these questions that can penetrate their hearts over and over again. They need to peel back their scars, disinfect and clean up toxins. Although this can help us understand them better, there are also It may bruise them again, causing their souls to tremble.

Rebel in the Rye quotes

  • Whit Burnett: I got an eye. I can spot talent coming a mile away. Saroyan, Cheever, Caldwell, I discovered them all. Of course, it would be nice if somebody discovered me.

    Jerry Salinger: Hey, come on, you've been published.

    Whit Burnett: I not only discovered them, I shaped them, I challenged them.

    [Pointing at his flat]

    Whit Burnett: This is me.

    [On the stairs]

    Whit Burnett: You should continue to write about Holden, but not as a short story.

    Jerry Salinger: Well, hang on, wait, wait, wait, wait. What do you mean?

    Whit Burnett: I think Holden Caulfield is a novel.

    Jerry Salinger: No, no, I couldn't write a whole novel. I'm a dash man, not a miler.

    Whit Burnett: You only say that because you're lazy. Holden Caulfield deserves an entire book all on his own.

    Jerry Salinger: A novel's a lot of words.

    Whit Burnett: It's just more words. Imagine the book that you would want to read and then go write it.

  • Jerry Salinger: Anyway, how's everything at the home front with you? You are good with Martha chewing your ear?

    Whit Burnett: Everything at my home is fine...

    Jerry Salinger: Yeah?

    Whit Burnett: Because what you'll learn about having wife is that occasionally she just needs to yell to feel better.

    [Jerry laughing]

    Whit Burnett: Oh, and by the way, I'm awfully sorry about the New Yorker.

    Jerry Salinger: How'd you know about that?

    Whit Burnett: Oh please. They canned the Caulfield story because you wouldn't take any of their notes. You know, you cannot be a pain in the ass until you're a success.
