The last sentence of the film is a point of reference. From the perspective of the script, it belongs to exposure. empathy.
As a literary (senior) girl who likes to observe people and has a great interest in characterization and novels, the reason why there are not many novel studies, in addition to being lazy, is more important, as shown in the plot of the movie: What I am interested in are the people and things around me that I have personally experienced, and I will create fiction based on them as the basis, but there must be many characteristics that can be traced. Then, when these people see their fictional works and feel uncomfortable, How to do?
Of course I can defend myself with the concept of Pamuk's "The Innocent and Sentimental Novelist", and I will use the fictional nature of the novel as a strong protective color for myself: yes, yes, it has its origins in reality, even Its raw materials come from real life, but after these raw materials are processed, cut, reconstructed, collaged, and reintegrated, they become a new, fictional, imaginative product. All those who think that what happens in the novel is the author's own personal experience, that the feelings of the protagonist described in the novel are what the author really thinks, and even that the narrator of the novel is the author himself - all those who hold this view, I You can tell them very calmly and confidently that you are naive readers, not skilled enough, or even not knowledgeable enough about novels. Because, of course, none of this is true.
Of course, I can also use my grandmother, Eileen Chang, to embolden myself. Eileen Chang belongs to the kind of novelist (Maugham is also, after all, he is a British Eileen Chang), when she writes novels, she does not recognize six relatives, people block murderers and Buddhas block murderers, and there is such a cold-blooded and cruel pursuit of truth and beauty, I just wrote such an amazing world. ——But the consequence is that many of her relatives and friends are very dissatisfied with this, and some even cut off contact with her. Jiang Xiaoyun also wrote when she was young. Later, she retired from the literary world for 30 years, and only picked up the pen when she retired. The direct reason is that she lost a friend because of writing when she was young. It's the same kind of thing, based on someone close to you, and the people around you are very dissatisfied with this fictional product born out of yourself.
Like Tracy said in the movie, she tried to defend realist writers, what I wrote was my life, what I saw and heard, what I observed about people around me, they became my inspiration, I took Use your own life materials to be worthy of anyone. ——But it would be nice if human emotions and ethics were as simple as that. Even Miss Austen has to face the trouble that people in life know that you are the author, and they will take precautions against you.
What people really care about is the attitude behind these shaping. Even if you tell him 10,000 times that I am not writing about you, he may have the same educational background or even the same mantra as you, but the weak, selfish and childish person I want to write about was created by me, he is not You - but the other party will ask, why, facing me, do you think of such a bad character because of me? Are there many moments in life where you really think I have such a possible development direction?
The director treats Brooke, of course, is basically Tracy's attitude towards Brooke, which is kind. Seeing all the rhetoric in you, the lack of success and failure, the endless number of ideas but none of them can be implemented, the self-centeredness that rarely considers the feelings of others, the complacency, and so on, the shortcomings are too numerous to list, but those eyes of observation. , full of love and pity. What is love? True love is built on solid understanding, seeing all your flaws, but also seeing all your charms. These flaws may not be the so-called "good flaws," "double-edged swords," or "make or break" so-called traits, but they won't obscure your shining moments. Brooke in the film is so flamboyant, but her enthusiasm, dashing, energetic, and unbeatable qualities are still moving. As mentioned at the beginning, her body is full of romance and failure.

Not only the articles hate Mingda, but the protagonists of literary and artistic works are also not very friendly to successful people. It has long since passed the aesthetics of Cinderella, Cinderella, and Cinderella, who have worked hard all the way to fight the shit luck and strive to counterattack the upper diaosi. Instead, the aesthetics fail, the aesthetics fail, and the aesthetics fail repeatedly (perhaps there are also repeated failures, but the order is very important, the main win or lose). Yates, Carver, that's all. The same is true of drunken folk songs and Wei and Jin demeanor. After a good hand is broken, it will fall into the future.
As Yiwei said, "Real romance always carries some profound irrationality. But it also seems to be a juvenile spirit, symbolizing all kinds of great courage and enthusiasm in the face of the unknowable. The hazy poetry of understanding." This passage, I think, is a perfect portrayal of Brooke's image.

I really like the relationship between the two heroines that this film portrays. In previous films, two women have been described as either love (or erotic friendship), or sisterhood/friendship, or one is the role model of the other, but this film's entry point is very good, like a The biographer and the people she needed to follow—and she wasn't going to write a biography, but a novel. Their relationship has both the side of the female companion in daily life and the side of observation/observation, and all those who have dreams of writers and anthropologists should have a sense of empathy for the observer's position. And this perspective determines the subtlety of the relationship between the two. There are feelings at the life level, but the spiritual level is more complicated: on the one hand, Tracy is attracted by Brooke, and even her rich shortcomings make people have a sense of depth; and On the other hand, Tracy has to keep the observer's calm and objective vision, and such vision requires at least a psychological distance. There's a wonderful tension between the desire to be close and the need to keep distance, resulting in this very innovative relationship.
