Why, Francis?
I watched this movie because I was interested in F. Scott Fitzgerald, and I liked it. It was nothing amazing, but it made sense for a while... But there was one thing that was really confusing and I know I'm going to post this and then someone will answer it and I'll feel like an idiot, but I'll ask anyways. Francis seemed to really respect Fitzgerald through the whole movie and she promised on her mother's life that she wouldn't tell anyone about the book he was writing. When people asked her, she even refused to tell them anything about it. Although historically I knew she would have had to give the book to a publishing company for The Last Tycoon to exist today, I didn't get why she gave it away at all. I know it was good and all and she wanted the world to see it or whatever, but I just thought she respected his wishes more than that. Why would she give it away if it wasn't even finished and it was a first draft? He probably wouldn't have wanted it published in that condition. Maybe I'm just reading too much into this...yeah probably, it's late.
