This is an era of dreams, but also an era of making dreams accessible.
On the road to chasing dreams, the emergence of a real Bó Lè is particularly important.
But Maxima often exists, while Bole does not often have.
For example, you may have heard of Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Thomas Wolfe and others who are famous in the world of literature, but you don't necessarily know who discovered them.
Max Perkins
The genius of Bó Lè was Max Perkins, a symbolic figure who played a very important role in the development of American literature and even European and American literature.
Classic masterpieces in literary history such as "The Great Gatsby", "The Sun Also Rises", and "Angels, Looking home" were all created by him.
The movie "Genius Catcher" we introduce today tells the "story of Bole and Maxima" between gold medal editor Max Perkins and talented writer Thomas Wolfe.
The film is based on Pulitzer Prize-winning writer A. Scott Berg's The Editor of Genius.
The book also won the National Book Award.
The film focuses on Wolfe's work, with perkins' help, on his two masterpieces, Angels, Homecoming, and Time and the River.
Thomas Wolfe
Perkins played an integral role in the creation of both books.
It can even be said that without Perkins' conscientious excavation and tuning, these two great works may not have existed.
Between editors and authors, there is often a relationship of love and killing. In this regard, Perkins and Wolff are no exception.
Wolff was a writer with great vitality, extremely talented and fierce, and often eager to capture all the information in his works, ignoring the needs of the reader.
When Perkins gave advice on modifications based on his professional judgment, the two often broke out into a fierce quarrel.
But in the end, the two will always reach a consensus, and they will slowly become an inseparable gold medal combination.
Perkins also gained the confidence of many outstanding writers with his keen judgment, love of literature and patience with his work.
Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Thomas Wolfe, and other geniuses he successfully tapped into made Perkins an outstanding position in the field of editing.
He has always been the one hiding behind successful writers.
As an editor, Perkins has always believed that books belong to authors, and that his job is to present the best work to readers.
He also always attributed the success of his works to the talent and efforts of the author.
After the success of Angels, Homesick, Perkins and Wolfe worked even closer together.
During the run-up to Wolff's Time and the River, they soaked together almost every day.
To ensure the success of his work, Perkins embraced the parts of Wolff's personality that were out of place with himself and worked hard to step into his life and understand his spiritual world.
Perkins, who has a conservative and stereotypical personality, is pulled by Wolff to listen to jazz. He shakes his knees to the music, feeling the rhythm of Wolff's work.
Perkins also went with Wolff to the place where he had lived when he first arrived in New York, listening to him share his inner feelings...
Two people spend more time together than they spend with each other's family.
The friendship between them also caused jealousy and dissatisfaction among the family members.
The two people's dedication and love for literature make each other's spirits perfectly fit, without the existence of any other impurities.
They are all incredibly pure people, which is a kind of feeling of mountain flowing water to find the sound.
In the Boyazi period and in Marx and Engels, we can also find traces of this feeling.
In the Easter eggs interspersed with various literary heroes in the film, Perkins can also see the good relationship between Perkins and other writers.
Whether it's with the prestigious Hemingway or fitzgerald, who became depressed after The Great Gatsby, Perkins maintains a good relationship with them and cares about the long-term development of the writers.
Perkins and Hemingway in the film
He fished with Hemingway and supported Fitzgerald financially and spiritually.
In the brief period of peace between the two world wars and the social context of the Great Depression, there was also a person like Perkins who pursued a pure spiritual world, which made him shine around him.
Perkins also became a witness to the shining literary era because of this purity.
The beautiful lines, the references to the original work, and the retro tones all allow us to follow the film back to the era of rapid cultural development.
In the film, you can see the other side of the great writers in the history of literature and the birth process of those immortal works through the perspective of an editor.
The outstanding performances of a number of Oscar-winning film queens ensure that "Genius Catcher" has a precise grasp of the characters.
As a biographical film, although the film adopts the form of a double male protagonist, it still respects the original book based on the character of Perkins.
Jude Lowe as Thomas Wolfe
Jude Lowe, who was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor, plays the role of Wolff, who uses a slightly exaggerated performance to accurately restore the slightly crazy process of a talented writer creating a work. Corresponding to this is the external cold and internal heat, noble and elegant Perkins.
Colin Feith as Maxwell Perkins
In reality, the calm and introverted Colin Firth may be the best spokesperson for perkins in this role.
Colin Firth, who was born in England, has an innate gentlemanly temperament and is affectionately called "Uncle Face" by shadow fans.
In the TV series Pride and Prejudice, he succeeded in portraying the well-behaved gentleman Darcy, making him an overnight household name.

In the film The King's Speech, he explains the process by which the young George VI overcame his stuttering demons to become a true king. With the exciting speech in the film, "Uncle Face" finally won the first Oscar for best actor in his life.

Colin Firth's slow and hot performance rhythm has allowed a number of gentleman-type characters to successfully imprint on the minds of the audience.

In the recently broadcast "BJ's Single Diary" and "Ace Agent: Secret Agent Academy", the lawyer and agent image played by Colin Firth shines brightly in the film, becoming one of the highlights of the film.

In "The Genius Catcher," how will Colin Firth interpret Perkins, an old-school gentleman with a subtle appearance and a rush of heart? Next week, the Movie Channel will also air a movie starring Uncle Face, can you guess which one?
