杰瑞发布于2023-05-21

  影片改编自真人真事,讲述了畅销书《无尽的玩笑》作者大卫·福斯特·华莱士(杰森·席格尔 饰)和《滚石》杂志记者(杰西·艾森伯格 饰)一同踏上新书全国宣传之旅过程中发生的故事。

DAVID:
Mostly 'cause I was scared I would do something stupid. I had a friend from high school who tried to kill himself by sitting in a garage with the car runnin'. And what it turned out was, he didn't die, but it really f***ed up his brain.
38.
And I knew, that if anybody was fated to f*** up a suicide attempt, it was me.
LIPSKY:
So there you are still in your twenties...
DAVID:
My late twenties.
LIPSKY:
Your late twenties, somewhat in pain about your desire to become a sort of successful literary person.
DAVID:
I think probably the not very sophisticated diagnosis is that I was depressed. 'Cause by this time, my ego's all invested in the writing.
It's the only thing that I've gotten, you know, food pellets from the universe for. So I felt really
trapped:
Like, “Uh-oh, my five years is up. I've gotta move on, but I don't want to move on.” I was really stuck.
And drinking was part of that. But it wasn't that I was stuck because I drank. It was like, I really sort of felt like my life was over at twenty- eight. And that felt really bad, and I didn't wanna feel it. So I would do all kinds of things: I mean, I would drink real heavy, I would like f*** strangers. Oh, God --Or, then, for two weeks I wouldn't drink, and I'd run ten miles every morning, in a desperate, like very American, “I will fix this somehow, by taking radical action” sort of thing.
LIPSKY:
And here you are, promoting this acclaimed book. Not bad.
DAVID:
David. This [the interview] is nice.
This is not real.
They look at one another.
39.
58 INT. AIRPORT/ARRIVALS - MINNEAPOLIS - 1996 - DAY 58 The guys walk toward baggage claim.
DAVID:
An escort’s supposed to pick me up and, you know, escort me to the reading. Of course, when I hear “escort,” I imagine like full geisha with hairpins who will take you to the bookstore, then back to the hotel, walk on your back and f*** your eyeballs out.
Lipsky is laughing.
LIPSKY:
I think that’s her.
DAVID:
Ah. Just as I pictured.
At the end of a long corridor stands a solidly-built, perky, forty-ish woman, PATTY, holding a sign: “MR. WALLACE.”
PATTY:
Mr. Wallace! I recognized you from your photograph! I’m Patty Gundersson!
Welcome to Minneapolis!
DAVID:
Thank you, Patty.
LIPSKY:
Hi, I’m David Lipsky.
