The film "Wonderful Pens and Flowers" borrows writer Hammond to promote his new book "The Words" at a reading meeting, and eloquently describes the protagonist of the book, Roy, who has been a writer for many years and has failed to achieve a dream, picked up a perfect novel by chance and made it his own He became famous in one fell swoop, and then met the real master of the novel, whether Roy can make up for his mistakes in the face of his mistakes, and will he be like the master of the novel, leaving a life full of regrets and irreparable regrets because of this novel...
The film tells the lives of three writers, Hammond, Roy, and the owner of the lost novel, in an interlude. Similar writing and emotional experiences will allow us to discover that Hardman's Roy is his own portrayal. And whether the owner of the lost novel, the only unnamed character in the film, is a real existence in Hardman's life or a fictional product of his pen has also become the biggest unsolved case in the film.
People often make the wrong choice when they haven't figured it out: the author's impatient behavior in the face of a frustrated wife; Roy's behavior of taking someone else's work as his own. People often push down the wrong dominoes before they have learned to stop losses: the novel's owner walks away in the face of the mistake of returning to his lover's lost novel; Roy is indifferent in the face of his wife's begging him to start the relationship between the two...with abandonment Those who are still around, face what they have lost, and when they become clear, they find that they have nothing.
And reality is cruel. A mistake made in a moment may take a lifetime to bear: the consequences of the mistake itself, the consequences of the mistake caused by the mistake, and endless remorse and self-blame... Maybe never forgiveness, maybe never have a chance to say sorry...
The inspiration and materials of the novel come from reality. This novel resonates with readers, expressing emotions such as "Yes, life is like this" and "Isn't this the life of so-and-so". At the same time, novels can maximize the subjective initiative, let the will dominate the plot, and let the plot surpass reality. Those novels with themes of rebirth, time-travel, transformation, etc. are exactly the deep desires and impulses of people who are shackled by reality. Break through the endless, impossible, and impossible plots, and achieve the dreamy color of the novel, the curious experience, and the power to soothe people's hearts.
So I prefer to believe that the owner of the lost novel was invented by Hardman, to give Roy and himself an opportunity to apologize that cannot be realized in reality. The author of the novel on the train met Celia on the platform and waved his hands slightly; the author of the novel gave Roy's mistakes and forgiveness; Roy hugged his wife Dora from behind and said sorry...
Not only writers, but each of us is writing our own novels with an invisible pen. For countless nights, the longing and reverie we lingered in our minds, the regrets and ifs entangled in our hearts, these are the characters of this novel in the parallel space. It's just, "At dawn, we have to choose between real life and fiction." Those choices we make in reality must be faced, accepted and endured in reality. From now on, facing the choice to write the best plot, become the best protagonist in my own writing, until
The End.
