Old man & French lady --> fiction by Clay but may be truth
2. Rory & Dora --> fiction
3. Clay & Danielle --> truth
The French girl's story, another is Rory and Dora's story, and one is Clay's own story. Clay was releasing his new book, one of his fans, Danielle, and after some flirting to gather writing material, Clay agreed to tell her the ending. The first two stories are both written in a movie novel of the same name, "The Words", and the truth can only be guessed by the audience. The last one is the real story we see.
The movie started at the press conference of Clay's new book. It can be seen that Clay is a greasy middle-aged man who has experienced a lot of things. He is relatively mature and stable. It can be judged from the press conference that he can handle things in life smoothly. , It can be seen that it is a man who has a story. The opening sentence is important: the old man watched in the rain, and his every move could ruin it all. That's probably what it meant, I don't remember exactly, but it doesn't really matter. Then I saw a montage of Roay and the old man, who was reading Rory's book. The narrator also said a sentence: The old man is waiting. Seeing this, I seem to have guessed the end. Isn't that a guy who copied books. Then I thought, this guy, do you want to touch your conscience when you copy books, so you are not afraid of being struck by lightning? Is this movie about morality? Fortunately, this movie doesn't judge morality too much, it just touches the point, which is also a good part of this movie.
The next movie is a long story about Rory and Dora. Rory is a man with a dream who wants to be a writer, but what he writes can't be published at all, and he is so poor that he asks his father for rent. But he still doesn't give up, doesn't give up, and insists on dying for his dream. Later, he got married and went to Paris to play with his wife, and then the plot was so bloody, his wife bought a bag for him, and there was a book in it. If this plot is placed in a martial arts movie, this book should be some kind of boring martial arts secrets. After he read this book, he realized that he was a scum who couldn't even reach bronze. This book was the diamond rank that he had been ranked for for many years, but he had not yet reached it. Later, he couldn't control it so much, so he copied it directly, just like he wanted to open it, he knocked the book into the computer. His wife burst into tears when she saw it accidentally. They looked at each other. He saw how happy his wife was. He loved his wife. With her wife's encouragement, he decided to publish the book. This place has laid a foreshadowing for the future. This man who shied the responsibility to his wife said that it was published because of the way his wife looked at him, which is really shameless.
The next episode was also expected, the book was published, he became famous, and the old man found him. The old man began to tell his story, a play within a play. When the director was shooting the old man's story, the shots he used seemed to be a little different. It is estimated that it was a wave of detail processing, in order to highlight the sense of age. The old man's story is very simple. He retired from the army and met a French girl, then fell in love and got married and had a child. Then the child died of illness. The wife couldn't bear the pain and went back to her parents' home. During this time, the old man started to create, and he was very inspired all of a sudden. Reminds me of the time when the project was in a hurry, working overtime until the early morning every day, and writing the code of a project in two weeks. Then I gave the book to my wife in the countryside to read. His wife smiled after reading it, as if she had found the confidence to live again and came back to her. To know that this is a movie, the whole thing has to come out. His wife lost his book. If you go to a print shop to make a copy in your life and keep a manuscript, it will be nothing. That's right, he didn't forgive his wife. The old man also said when he talked to Rory later that he likes writing more than love and writing, and he did abandon his wife.
My positioning of this film is a romance film, and the central idea is what the old man said to Rory when Rory went to the manor to find the old man. The old man said that in fact, when he left her wife, he could no longer write any good novels. All his inspirations were given to him by his wife. The old man had gone through vicissitudes to understand that love was what he really needed. In fact, at this time, what the old man really wanted to say to Rory was that he hoped that Rory would sincerely apologize and face his real life. At first glance, through this sentence:
We all make our choices, The hard part is living with them.
The implication is: boy, choice is easy, but persistence is difficult, you have to think about it, if you insist on a No matter how wrong you are, you must suffer.
From the dialogue, it can be seen that the old man is very regretful. At the beginning, there was a sincere feeling in front of him that he did not cherish. Now that I think about it, don’t worry about regretting it. If I gave him a chance to come back last time, he would not Will he choose to write, or choose the really important family and love, because after losing love, he can't write anything of value, and these things will always be the pillar of his spirit. Yes, this is a movie about love.
Later, Rory did not repent and concealed the matter. When the old man died, the manuscript was buried together, but Rory could not accept moral condemnation in his heart, and he was still a conscientious person. Rory couldn't help but tell the truth later, but the publishing house wasn't happy. When things got like this, he put the blame on his wife. Dora was disappointed and left him later. But in the last scene of the movie, he and Dora apologized, so they probably got together. But understand that this is a novel, he said it himself:
You have to choose between life and fiction, the two are very close, but they're never the actually touch
Life and novels are very close, but they will never overlap. To put it bluntly, Rory and Dora are both made up by you, just to use this novel to gain inner comfort. Clay is the real you, Rory and Dora apologized, but Clay did not apologize to his wife, and continued to live with a mask.
Clay separated from his wife, but he did not disclose it to the public. He still wore a wedding ring, indicating that he still loves her deeply and for the peace of his conscience, so he decided to write a book "The words" to the world. , a thousand words are in this book. At the end, there was a scene where Clay kissed Danielle. At that time, I thought it was going to be a passionate scene, and then suddenly Danielle was pushed away. At first, I thought he was not good, or something was wrong. Look carefully later, because Clay questioned Danielle, gave Danielle the scene he was in, let Danielle think, and turned Danielle into a second her, and the smart Danielle told the truth of the whole thing, To Danielle was like seeing himself, at this time he couldn't face his false self.
At the end Danielle asks him, what do you really want? Then the picture switches to the picture of Rory apologizing to Dora. This is an open ending. To be honest, it is not very clear. Different people feel different. I feel that the director wants to express a lot. Sometimes I feel that this film is talking about choices, sometimes I feel that this film is talking about morality, and sometimes I feel that it is about expressing literature. Life and novels are very close, but they will never overlap. But I think it should be love in the end. It can be seen from the last picture that the real Clay still wants to apologize to his wife, tell the truth, and show his infinite love for his wife. Clay, like the old man, chose literature between literature and love, but after they had experienced many things, they looked back and realized that the most important thing was love.
