The last two weeks of movies have been amazing. A dog's mission, a genius catcher. Every movie can't help but cry. I placed two orders on Amazon and arrived on Sunday. I still can't help but want to watch the original movies: A Dog's Purpose and Max Perkins. "Genius Catcher", one of the favorites of 2017, the male god Jude Law, Collin, the goddess Nita. The background is the United States in the 20th century, but the whole film has a strong British style. Literary lines, actor's acting skills, no, they have surpassed acting skills, and there is no acting skills. The most touched, is based on a true story, between the two protagonists, the emotion, that kind of emotion... relationship amour affection fair

This is a writer who is underappreciated. After being discovered by an editor, the sincere feelings of the two people started the story. It is full of thinking collisions, personality contradictions and their own emotional lives. The Thomas portrayed in the whole film is a hysterical image. He writes with great force, when he loves, with great force when he hurts, even his sexual desire is clearly written on his face for everyone who passes by. Check. On the contrary, the editor Max is extremely restrained, sticks to his principles, tries his best to be a good father, a good husband, and even reflects himself on the workaholic Thomas. The whole film does not have too complicated plots, but especially the lines are beautiful, and there is no soundtrack for a long time at the beginning. From this, it can be seen that if a genius does not have the right opportunity and has passed the entrance, he will often become a lunatic.

In the end, what is a genius, what is a madman, is it like a left-handed genius, a right-handed madman, or a short-circuited genius turned into a madman, and an overclocked madman later became a genius. In terms of causality and quantum theory commonly used in mathematics, geniuses and lunatics are both low-probability events. Perhaps, just like Schrödinger's cat, before you open the box, he is a genius. After opening it, he becomes a lunatic. Crazy people exist at the same time, the key point is under what conditions you observe it.

The theories of genius and lunatic are too cryptic. Thomas Wolf, who is known as a genius in the history of modern American literature, was originally a quirky and eccentric character. , what kind of adventure the two people had, and how they glanced at each other inadvertently in the crowd, and the spark of thinking ignited a bonfire in the loneliness of the sea of ​​people, let us Under the cold starry sky, I once again felt that charming light of friendship.

By describing the crazy life of the American literary genius Wolf, several acting masters told us once again that there is only one catcher between the hell and heaven of genius. Wolf is talented, but has a rough fate. He does not have many works, but he has engraved a peerless talent and an unusual character. He has a lot of similarities with the Chinese female writer Xiao Hong, and he and the editor Max are like Xiao Hong and Xiao Jun. The stories of each other illuminate each other's talents and lives. The difference is that the two American literary geeks are both men and cannot write the stories of lovers, but they have left a rare partner legend in the history of literature.

The title of the film may be a little misleading, thinking that it is a story that Bole knows a thousand miles. After all, the reputation of the book editor Max has not spread far, and when it comes to the great writer Thomas Wolf, many young literary people will feel like thunder, in the sense of ordinary people. For example, 99% of the success of the writer belongs to himself, the editor is just doing a smooth thing, and another common saying is that behind every successful man, there is a A woman who gives silently. The film reverses gender prejudice. Behind every successful writer, there is a great editor who works silently.

The interesting part of the film is also here. The success of Wolf was almost brought about by Max alone. The two people met, cooperated and finally formed an inseparable gold medal combination. , has long gone beyond the general partnership. Because of their obsession with each other's talents, the relationship between the two has gone beyond the so-called lover, friend, father and son, master and apprentice, and brother. Erin, instead, became an obstacle for the two of them to move forward hand in hand.

Therefore, "Genius Catcher" is not about an inspirational story about the mutual success of the editor and the writer, but two geniuses who discovered each other, fulfilled each other, and fascinated each other, but in the end it was difficult to integrate into reality. The mutual admiration erupted from their eyes, just as the investors saw the daily limit, and the women saw the discounted limited edition, especially the Max created by the actor Colin. Xin got a huge wave in his heart, and the performance was convincing.

The famous writers Max unearthed are not only Wolf, including Hemingway and Fitzgerald, the author of The Great Gatsby, who are all supported by him to become a literary superstar, and in his opinion, Wolf is a piece that needs to be polished with care. Puyu, under his unremitting help and guidance, the two of them worked together day and night to launch immortal masterpieces like "Look homeward, angel". Max and Wolf are both geniuses, and they are each other's catchers. It is not so much that Max found a potential Wolf, but Thomas found a literary partner who can support his lifelong talents. In Tom's creation and life, Max has played an important role. The important roles that are missing, such as the discussion of creation and the revision of manuscripts, such as Max's meticulous work as a nanny, housekeeper, and finance, prevent the crazy Tom from derailing from the rules of reality prematurely.

The film interprets the unspeakable interdependence of two people in their lives. Their legend and privacy are spectacles, and several Oscar-level performance masters make the story splendid, which includes all the collisions between genius and the world. , including wild, flamboyant, neurotic, sensitive, full of yearning for dreams and publicity of individuality. A match made in heaven like Tom and Max working together with their lives, if you really think about it, it makes people feel full of emotion. Maybe we've all been geniuses at one time, but we just didn't meet the destined Genius Catcher.
