      What time is it

      Woody Allen is my favorite director, bar none. Every once in a while, I have to see what the old man is doing and when the new work will be released. I'm really worried that he will reduce production due to his advanced age, and I'm even more worried that he will be too brainy and die young (with his efficiency, his 70s can definitely be called young). In his film biography, female critics said that his films always brought awards to those actors, so the actors favored him very much. Starring...

      "Oracle" is also crazy

      1. The film has always had a chorus like the Greek gods running through it, and from time to time it pops up to sing a "Oracle", with exaggerated movements and a Broadway humor. There is a chanting: O Zeus, save us. A voice came from the air: Zeus is not at home, please leave a message if you have anything. Almost made me laugh. 2. The old man looked for the adoptive mother, and accidentally gave birth to a child with the adoptive mother~ In the end, both of them happily raised children for...

      waste time

      Those characters who imitate the gods of ancient Greece in weird costumes are completely unnecessary. If you want to express the inner monologue of the male protagonist, it is better to set up the role of a close friend of the male protagonist, and the two chat from time to time; if you want to show the development of the plot, it is better It is more natural to use narration directly. Interspersed with that ancient scene from time to time is not only blunt, but also very contrived, and this...

      humorous

      My favorite is that linda, haha, it's so funny, that voice, she always tells some bad jokes, thinks she's smart, and finds someone who is as smart as her, it's really interesting. And the group of Greeks, anyway, when you look at it, you feel that life is really a bit dramatic, although this kind of drama is not common, why do you want to go to the bottom of it? Curiosity killed the cat, thankfully this is a comedy. I didn't comment when I saw it, but now I don't have that feeling or emotion,...

      Woody Allen's obscenity

      Roger Albert said in his evaluation of "Midnight Paris" that "Woody must have died when he wrote this movie." This is a pertinent evaluation from Lafayette that basically applies to every movie of Woody Allen. If you think about it, if you can make a movie of your obscene stuff with confidence, there are still a lot of celebrities who go to guest appearances, and then they are applauded and acclaimed. The film critics still pull down to cover up close, only in the world. Woody Allen can do this...

      Although it is still a chatter, the Greek mythology in the form of a stage play is interspersed as a metaphor. It was the first time I saw a Woody Allen movie on the big screen, and it was quite satisfying, mainly because of its brisk rhythm and interesting story. The performances of several actors were very cute, although Mira Sorvino was very eye-catching. But the old man's performance in person was more interesting, and it made my face...

      After a tired and headache afternoon, the old Woody watched the rambled Jewish old man save the life of a careless prostitute. The Greek drama part is really hilarious, with serious cold humor, and it even sings Broadway at the end. The happy ending is a rare warmth and a touch of melancholy, just like the play said, "Life is so...

      In fact, four stars and five stars are not important. Each of his films is close to the standard. They are not perfect and stunning, but they do not disappoint. It is nothing more than personal...

      The Chinese translation of the title is disgusting: can't tell the difference between Aphrodite, the god of love, and aphrodisiac, and add a "non" in front of "strong" by being smart, it's a matter of IQ; too lazy to Google it or translate it intentionally to attract attention, it's character...

    Evaluation action

    From the story point of view, "Mighty Aphrodite" is indeed creative, and director Woody Allen's expression is also more creative. The most obvious is the appearance of choirs that mimic ancient Greek dramas in the film. These choirs dressed in black robes and masks always dance and sing between the passages of the film, commenting on the plot and characters, and their lines are both ancient and modern, and they are pretentious. The...
