Ernest Hemingway was seen as one of the most influential writers of all time. He created great novels, won awards, and lived his life as extraordinary as possible. As a young boy Hemingway wanted to be as manly as possible due to his mother dressing him as a girl at a young age. He would go hunting with his dad and dress up like a cowboy. His inner boy was unleashed during this time. He would hunt, fish, shoot guns, and try to forgot about what his mother had put him through.
As Hemingway grew older, I believe he tried to hide his past through being daring and adventurous. The first thing he did was go to join the war. He lied about stories of his heroics and life saving efforts when he didn't really do much except get injured.
He also had many wives and a lot of relationships. He was not the most faithful man and always had other relationship besides his wife. It mad me angry every time he got a new wife in the documentary. He go from one, divorce, another, divorce, and keep going.
I think through his whole life he was trying to compensate for what he was treated like when he was little. I think through this his life went up and then on a downhill spiral after all the drinking and partying it was taking a toll on him physically and mentally and it all started with his mother.
