Caught the last viewing in Baltimore last night. The theatre was empty aside from a girl who showed up 20mins in and used her phone in the back the whole time, and my gf who I dragged to go with me under the pretence of it being a cheesy sentimental movie about a goofy intellectual.

In all honesty I wasn't sure what to expect. I have read infinite jest and brief interviews with hideous men which I enjoyed, but I always sneered a little at my uni's David Foster Wallace Reading Society and the reverence he gets in literary circles in general, but Segel's sensitive, rambling, apologetic portrayal of DFW made the movie incredibly enjoyable. All the complaints I had about his style and language mannerisms were represented in a really earnest way, that he probably wouldn't have approved of but still seemed based on his own philosophy of controlling your awareness and thinking carefully of others.

When I was a kid I used to scare myself with mental images of a person's face in the worst state of distress you can imagine. That image of David dancing at the end of the movie, a wide earnest smile on his face as he twists and blissfully moves his oversized limbs in the paths of others, you can see how much earnest happiness he derived from the freedom that comes from not feeling alone. It made me think of how sad he must've been at the end of his life, like the suicide of a young child.

No, DFW was not a compulsive liar, addict, insecure rake, who stalked women and lied about sleeping with them. He wasn't a fake. He never read Pynchon. He wasn't a bunch of things that add up to antisocial personality disorder.

I know this because everyone that knew him is a liar. A-and This Is Water? And uh... Um... Well This Is Water isn't just Cognitive Behavior Therapy summarized and then not cited... that would be pretty shitty... help me out here:

It disappointed me a little to see DFW as a more 'normal' (at least in the sense that he wasn't a huge nerd) person than how the memes portray him. He also seemed like kind of a dick a lot of the time tbh.

>> No.7102287

>>7100604

It's worth it

>>7102175

I think Wallace's normality fluctuated a lot with the severity and treatment of his illness, based on what Franzen said if the interview was conducted closer to his death it definitely would've been different.

But, in a way, I'm glad they didn't. Instead they showed him in a relatively happier time of his life, after the publication of Infinite Jest, when his yearning innocence to keep trying still had the upperhand. That aspect of his personality is what made his books interesting to me.
