The magnificent and bright ancient city of Rome is spread out in the romantic and cheerful music under the film lens, and four stories about desire are staged in different corners at the same time... Witty, absurd, magical, and realistic under the lens, talent, love, fame, lust The true face of the story is presented... The four stories are relatively independent and somewhat echoing. A middle-aged man with a talent for opera put the real scenes of life on the stage, stretched his voice in the shower, sang and sighed, and gave full play to his talent; a pair of young lovers wearing forbidden colors brought theatrical performance into the show. In life, passionately immersed in the role of forbidden love, he expresses provocation and repression heartily. The people on the stage are living, and the people in life are performing, who is living and who is performing? Seizing the truth in hypocritical life and seeing the hypocrisy in real life clearly, we seem to have discovered something, but Woody Allen is not a preacher of "correct" values ​​after all. In the words of his memory), seeing all this clearly may be "with age comes wisdom" or with age comes exhaustion. The increase of age brings wisdom and exhaustion. Then what is dry up, the desire for love is dry up. Sober people are just the result of high fever people taking antipyretics and strangling white blood cells such as hormones and surrendering. . . . Hehe, age often plays the role of a love killer. The lovely Woody Allen never gives you more than one answer. When you see through the essence of love like a wise man, you are a wise man, and also a wise man whose blood has been drained.

Fame is like lust, the more you are caught off guard, the more powerful it is. In the other two stories, the name of the middle-aged uncle fell from the sky, from being at a loss, enjoying the beauty, to being overwhelmed, and Huang Liang became delirious after a dream. The young couple struggled separately and then chose to sink. This sinking not only satisfied their physical needs, but also greatly improved their spirits. Men are no longer submissive and recognize their position in the world, while women are not ashamed, but more charming. . . . . . Haha, it can be seen that fame is something that takes away people's spirit, and ordinary people are controlled by it and end up suffering unbearably. And lust, for ordinary people, is a good thing, giving life enthusiasm and fighting spirit
