Romance and Heartbreak

Larue 2022-04-19 09:01:42

Every time I watch Woody Allen in the afternoon, I always feel groggy and want to fall asleep at the beginning, but stick to it, I unconsciously look up at these characters with a smile, and my heart is broken for their emotions. Especially the dialogue with tracy at the end is sweet and heartbreaking, like the shadow cast by light through a cracked amber cup, you can only cover your mouth and enjoy the beauty of this delicate story. It's hard for me to say what form Woody Allen's magic comes from, what elements make it up, what is the central structure of the plot and characters, all I can say is, I get it, I know what you're trying to say, there's nothing I can do but my Heart is filled. This is the most romantic and sentimental movie I've seen this year: maybe you know what this romance means, Woody Allen never says it and just lets it flow out of the movie.
