"Genius" - maybe there is another you in this world

2017-03-13 Bear Cotton and Candy I


finally have time with you, not to miss every movie we want to watch. This movie is also one that I can't help but want to watch when I see the cast (face). Old rules, tape the background of the story -

"Genius Catcher" is adapted from the biography "Genius Editor", and its English name only has the word Genius. I think it is far more appropriate than the Chinese translation, because the Chinese name seems to speak of a person, and it really cannot express the relationship between the characters hidden in this movie. The editor and the talented writers he discovered, in the story of Xing (xiang) Xing (ai) Xiang (xiang) cherishing (sha), the word "capture" is really thin. In my eyes, what an editor encounters and achieves is another person in this world that he wants to be.

Director - Nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay for "Hugo" and directed two "007" films. He's a very good theater director, which explains why this film has more of a dramatic conflict than other biographies.
(Not handsome, no pictures)

Leading actor! ! ! Uncle Colin, as long as he wears a three-piece suit, who cares about the plot!

I think the word "gentleman" is tailor-made for him. "Ace Agent" we all remember. I can't wait to think that Uncle Colin will also appear in the second part.

starring! ! ! Jude Law, there is a sea of ​​stars in his eyes!


The combination of the two of them is no less than the entanglement that the question of who is handsome between Fa Shark and Yimei brings me.
Acting is also textbook general

. No, how can the textbook describe such vivid and appropriate acting skills.

The heroine Nicole Kidman——the actress deserves her reputation~

There are probably two kinds of geniuses in this world. The first is Wolf, played by Jude Law, who has a dream in his heart and nothing else. There is nothing more important to him than writing, and inspiration is like a gushing faucet, unrestrained, and sprayed on the paper.

And this kind of genius is often ill-fated and not appreciated. Almost all the publishers in New York have rejected his heavy manuscripts, but he has not been able to erase his arrogance. So he met the genius editor, Max played by Uncle Colin.

In an instant, do you believe that there is such a feeling, not love, let alone friendship, that is when you suddenly discover that there is a corner in the world, there is a guy who understands what you are expressing without any obstacle. You have never met, but you seem to have known each other for years. So good, so good.

So the writer spends almost all his time, together with the editor, polishing the text and polishing the life. The arrogant and arrogant articles have been repeatedly scrutinized and considered, and the unnecessary decorations have been cut off, and they have become an invincible bestseller. He became a genius in everyone's eyes.

He continued to write and spend his days drinking and drinking. The love that was achieved by passion was also left aside by him. In the second book, I wrote a whole room of manuscripts, paragraph after paragraph, and together with the editor, they cut and formed. He spent nine months with the editor and neglected his wife for nine months. The book came out, and then went to Europe to wander. Insecurity may be the prerogative of genius.

This is the most wonderful moment of the whole film, and perhaps the most wonderful moment of the writer's life - he returns from a wander, the editor picks him up at the station, and they walk together in America, in his city, his home. That might be what heaven looks like in his mind.

Maybe after that...he started to lose himself. He didn't know if the credit was due to himself or the editor who helped him sort things out and even comfort his wife, and they had a fight.

Some people may think he's swollen and arrogant, or because he was provoked by other publishers, but I think he just suddenly can't find himself, like a soldier who has fought back to back for a long time, suspecting that he has nothing to contribute to this victory. I can understand him, but it doesn't matter. Max must understand him.


Unlike our talented writers. Editor Max's life has been so forbearance and peace. When the writer took him to listen to noisy jazz, when the writer was impatient, when the writer was helpless, he was like a river, calmly restrained, and often reflected. His dedication is like a hat that has been unwilling to take off, ready to go at any time, ready to be needed at any time.

He said he may have met a writer like Wolfe in his life. But Wolff was so simple as a writer in his eyes, it was the other self he wanted to be in his heart, arrogant and unscrupulous.

For this reason, he ranked his five flower-like daughters and a suitable wife after his work, which was probably the most impudent decision in his forbearance life.

Max, in history, was the first to be called a "writer-editor". Besides Wolfe, he also discovered Fitzgerald (author of The Great Gatsby) and Hemingway. They are all appropriately interspersed in the film. The director was really restrained, and he used Fitzgerald's mouth to tell Wolff that "you are not like me".

Yes, how can it be the same, I found you, like finding another myself on a distant planet, so I regard you as a more important existence than my family, do my best to fulfill your dreams, and always worry about not covering your light.

By the end of the game, it's totally in. But I just want to write here. I hope to leave a little suspense to the friends who are planning to see it in case. But these are not very important, because this case is really too bad...

This time I wrote a simple story for this movie using the characters as clues Recording and feeling, without paying attention to rhythm, picture and other issues, because it is really difficult to write interesting and attractive things, cry.

The last suggestion, friends who like fast-paced and strong conflicts can avoid it, and friends who are passionate about words and have a preference for appearance, please don't hesitate. This is a more biographical and literary film, I like it very much, I hope this information will be useful to you.

I hope I can meet another self wandering around on some planet too. Good night. good sleep.
