Chapter 104 all stories are love stories

Why are some writers whose lives are filmed over and over again, while others are never filmed?I'm afraid the reason is very simple, it all depends on whether they can get a decent love history - the so-called life of a celebrity is usually equal to a love history. The story of Anais Ning and Henry Miller and Henry's wife Joan was filmed as "Henry and Joan", and their affair was crowded and shocking enough.Dylan Thomas with two women and submachine guns made "The Edge of Love"; Sylvia Plath and Ted lived as poorly as they could—"Bitter Fame" has a chill from start to finish. The depressing smell of inferior soap in the swishing kitchen does not prevent "Beauty in a Bottle" from still regarding marriage and love as the top priority of their lives.Even the old-fashioned TS Eliot has a biopic like "Heartbroken Days Outside the Pen", and even Capote has become the protagonist of "Notorious" at the same time-there is no love in it, but the shadow of lust is ready to move.

If the love history is not rich enough, create a section—of course, this rule is only applicable to writers who have lived longer. "Shakespeare in Love" confidently arranged a muse for Shakespeare; Sade was in love with each other in the madhouse, but "The Quill" also sent him a laundress in time to comfort the body and mind while passing the manuscript; as for Jane Austen, "vividly busy" as she married off her heroines one by one, let that love affair, which took up only six pages in her biography, in "Becoming Jane Austen" The members of the Jane Austen Fan Club probably don't have much opinion on making the story more active, more busy, and bringing the hero closer to Mr. Darcy.

So we hardly see Leo Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky on screen, they are too sedate, too close to us, and have lived too long—compared to always dying young poets, and with the workload of novels, it is rare for them to find time to create shocking love.Not to mention Charles Lamb, whose sister had a psychotic episode and stabbed her mother to death, forcing him to stay unmarried and take care of her sister, lest she be sent to an insane asylum.This kind of story is probably only interested in B-movie directors in the 1970s, as well as Herman Melville, Whitman, Hemingway, DH Lawrence, their life stories, the honest part is too honest, ambiguous The place is too ambiguous, and the movie needs to be bright.

All stories have to be love stories, and brightly colored ones at that.Even the sinking of the Titanic, or the Pearl Harbor incident, had to rely on a love triangle to sort out the context and draw the skeleton.Karen Blixon's "Out of Africa" ​​is obviously a collection of essays, and when it is adapted into a movie, it has to become a life-and-death love story.The only way for the antelopes and egrets on the African continent to show up outside of "Animal World" is to pass by just as the heroes and heroines are kissing. A story, to qualify to exist, has to be a love story.The most serious literary magazines also hope that the author’s novels can have some erotic descriptions; the best-selling documentary magazines, whether it is a hero story or a story of donating a kidney or bone marrow, the editor will always ask to "add a emotional line to it."The original desire is still the driving force of everything. Behind the most magnificent people and things, human desires still need to be used as the foundation.

Therefore, Xu Zhimo's full identity is Lu Xiaoman's lover, not the poet who wrote "Yunyou".The famous female lawyer in our small town has never been able to enter the memory of the residents of the small town together with the major cases she took over, but she was talked about because she fell in love with a young man twenty years younger than her.Throughout our lives, we are bound to a love story.A love story is our whole life.Without decent love, it seems that there is no life, and even loses the qualification to be talked about.
