What you give, what you get, lose you for you

There is a lot of blank space in the story. Who is Clay? What is his relationship with Rory? Who is Daniella? What is the purpose of the rest of the story she is eager to understand? How is Rory and Dora's marriage? How is Rory's career going? And what kind of feelings did the old man finally let go with?
Of course, Clay's Rory is mostly about himself, but the real story will never be the same as the novel. He may have done something humiliating in other ways, but it won't be in writing. It should only be an emotional similarity. Otherwise, such an obvious metaphor is no different from surrendering to a crime. This is not something that the vicissitudes of life Clay will do.
From the beginning of the conversation with Daniella, he praised her for her cleverness, and Clay's knowledge of the world can be easily noticed. She is very different from those ignorant girls who blindly worship and have no sense of existence unless they are dedicated. Therefore, the conversation between the two is very much like Tai Chi pushing hands, testing, avoiding, hiding the needle in the cotton, and ending when the point is reached.
Of course, the identity of Daniella is not identified at the end of the film. I speculate that this may be a literary graduate student with a very high sense of subject matter. He saw a real part of Clay's book, and she knew that the emotional journey in the book must be genuine. So she tried to use all kinds of stimuli to penetrate into Clay's heart and get the real emotion of his writing this book. She knew that if she succeeded, it would be the best chance to achieve prosperity. A fictional novel can get such a reputation. Isn't that the unspeakable secret of a popular writer in the novel world a bigger selling point?
Then talk about the story in the book. Rory went crazy with friends at the restaurant after reading the manuscript. This is something that has failed countless times and never happened. Why? Because he recognized the reality of himself. He found a height that he could never reach. This is more than a blow to how many times he tried and failed, because it completely denied him the possibility.
In fact, Rory is struggling in his heart. He wants to take it for himself, but his sense of morality has become the last threshold, just like the last sense of balance standing on a cliff, just a slight push. Then Dora reached out.
Of course it wasn't Dora's fault, she didn't know it, and no matter how unsuccessful Rory was, she was his solid backing. So when she saw such an excellent work laying in Rory's computer. One hundred and two percent should encourage him to try.
The fault is still Rory, but if you have loved someone deeply, if you want to give her a rich life but can't, if you think she is worthy of the world but choose to live in a shabby house with you and can't bear it, what will you do? Do. I want the people I love to be proud of me, it's more important than being proud of itself.
The old man's request and Rory's idea determined the direction of the story to be a suspenseful crime film or an emotional inspirational film. The old man didn't ask for benefits, but Rory desperately wanted to atone. Although this is unlikely in reality. The old man's lack of interest in benefits stems from the fact that he is already in his twilight years, and the second is that he regrets his original decision. He did not forgive himself, so he thinks that such a self is not qualified to blame or forgive others.
And Rory's uneasy heart made him and Dora drift away. We have seen many examples of this kind of people who work hard for someone to succeed, but lose someone after they succeed. You gain, you lose.
Read the story within the story. Handsome men and beautiful women, chance encounters, exotic customs, reluctance to part, looking for love a thousand miles away, getting married and having children. Everything is perfect love in a storybook. Until the pain of losing a child, the life changes that could not be overcome caused the family to fall apart. He spent his whole life writing the article and finally saved his family, but it collapsed again because of the loss of the manuscript. It is strikingly similar to the development of Rory and Dora, the article written to save you, actually lost you because of the article. What exactly do you want in the end?
The last encounter at the station, Celia already had another family, the platform waved, and all the past was gone.
Clay finally pushed Daniella away, borrowed Rory's mouth, and said to the three women on behalf of the three men, "Sorry."

As usual, look at the STARmeter ranking at the end. The most popular is 13, with Olivia Wilde at 58. Then there's Zoe Saldana at No. 201 and Bradley Cooper at No. 283. Also in the 1000s was Oscar winner Jeremy Irons, who played the old man, at 996.
