The gradual progress of the film relies on Sophie's hypnosis of Stanley, and the biggest suspense stems from the gradual swing of the audience's psychology. Woody Allen is smart, the audience may not be easy to lie, but the audience will follow Stanley to believe-this is a wonderful feeling. When Stanley finally woke up from the big dream, the audience was also smashed by their own "different thoughts" and discovered the hidden "Sophie" in the peaceful world. Stanley and Sophie, one rationality, one sensibility, one materialism and one idealism, are two distinct worldviews, but they seem to coexist in everyone's heart, but one is dominant and the other is recessive-people rarely admit this. But Woody Allen led the audience to follow Stanley to identify. For example, after Stanley was convinced that there were souls and superpowers in the world, he suddenly felt relieved-the world has become better. The departed relatives still exist, and there is a mysterious power. He rejoices to defect to another belief, like returning to the innocent time of childhood. This belief is pathetic and ridiculous. But don't laugh at anyone, there is a kind of misty warmth and relaxation in "belief", no longer worry about the world, let tomorrow come casually. This kind of "belief", like a kind of existence that never breaks out and never completely extinguishes the fire, is the pain of human beings when they are fragile, and it is also the most obsessed salvation in times of pain. The film does not contain any investment barriers, and the atmosphere is not too cold. It can even be understood as an Anglo-American "hybrid" comedy. It is good to think deeply or to smile slightly.
