Jude Law and Guy Pearce Look Nothing Like Wolfe and Fitzgerald .....


Thomas Wolfe was plain faced, obese, and suffered from hemorrhoids. He died at 37.

Jude Law is handsome, thin, and 43. He looks nothing like Thomas Wolfe.

Scott Fitzgerald was a delicate featured, almost pretty man. Guy Pearce is a strong featured, raw boned man with horse teeth. He looks nothing like Fitzgerald did.

I disagree. I've read and studied Wolfe extensively and I was surprised after watching clips from the film (admittedly I might feel different after watching the whole movie), at how much Law captured the essence of this amazingly complex writer.

This is all moot…the players are brilliant as well as the script…Love it all.
