@mr-snailman of course! a year ago after finishing TLG i suddenly bought all 5 volumes of Chandler's works and now I've got unread only Playback and other pre Marlowes short stories. actually because of my memory wanna reread Farewell my lovely and The big sleep (caught myself on this while thinking where tf was that scene with Marlowe and cat (that was the The finger man)) and also i missed Annie :(

#and i need to get a chance to Playback #and also need to get a chance to film adaptations #at least such as lady in the lake and marlowe 1969 #(1969 have extremely more chances because of bruce lee in cast)

finished 'trouble is my business' and damn how i love my beaten kitten marlowe

#still thank fortune for accidentally finding 'the long goodbye' book in grandma's shelf #never knew a fictional man can give such serotonin #and only now realized how philosophic was TLG among others Chandler's realist noir fiction

@mr-snailman (I'm sorry for answering like that, tumblr not allows me to reply)

but, yes, that's was the point! but i guess even not he rejected it, but the choice was made for him by others, which often was mentioned in the book. also regarding the last chapters, I even had the idea that Marlowe’s refusal was not even as categorical as it might have seemed to us, it was like an incentive to defend own opinion

ok, made a research and Chandler is doing well with symbolism so it can be valid (but it's still with broken english, language barrier and unsubstantiated silly midnight theories)

I had a thought that Terry's changed appearance is a symbol of his choice to which stratum of society to belong. And in La dolce vita and in The long goodbye the main idea is a critique of "high society" with it constant wavering from misuse of power for the sake of personal goals to absolute senseless inaction: "It's no real fun but the rich don't know that. They never had any. They never want anything very hard except maybe somebody else's wife and that's a pretty pale desire compared with the way a plumber's wife wants new curtains for the living room".

and with these thoughts of understanding injustice Philip was giving him chances, he saw a potential in him to be that ideal man, who live with right principles of justice, but i guess Terry have spent too much time among those people and his last meeting with Philip is a exact confirmation of it. and like a Marcello in the ending Terry can't hear the voice of morality.

I was brought to this idea of his change by the constant feeling of pathos given by him throughout their entire dialogue - in words, in appearance

but that's really symbolic layer and not the exact reason of rejection (but even this moment gave to people many other reasons, more valuable. even wiki says that it was because of "inconvenience caused" but can it be so clear?)

impulsive thought: ending of The long goodbye and meaning of ending of La dolce vita is the same fucking thing

#in every the long goodbye fic all people gave different reasons of that denial but what if #chandler as i understand ardent critic of society so
