I have never seen Woody Allen's films before, but they are still famous as the god of literary films. I finally saw it today. At first glance, I felt a sense of familiarity. The modern soundtrack to suit the scene, the beautifully textured pictures, and the rambling lines. Isn't this the American Wong Kar-wai?
Christine's shape in it is really indescribable, and it feels like a country girl, which is completely out of line with that era. However, the shrewdness and ambition in her eyes could not be concealed. The image of the male protagonist is ok, he does not violate the harmony, he is a young man who is cynical in his heart, but still sunny, friendly and innocent on the surface.
America in the 1930s was the era of Shirley Temple, the era of Chaplin, the era of the Chicago typewriter, and the era of the Great Depression. However, as a major director of literary youth, of course he will not pay attention to the poor, so although the male protagonist is a young man who has just arrived in New York with little experience, he is also a New Yorker who is not very worried about money.
At the beginning of the film, I always felt that this was the story of a female sea king and a pick-up man, and the subsequent development has indeed proved that in front of bread, love is a fart, and only when you reach the level of the rich can you talk about pure Love, of course, you have to sign a prenuptial agreement before talking about it. In fact, Bobby and Veronica are like Gatsby and Daisy in "The Great Gatsby", except that Bobby is more sober than Gatsby after all, and understands that it is hard to get over the water.
In addition to those romantic relationships, I also saw Woody Allen's ridicule of the Jewish community. Of course there are rich capitalists, such as Uncle Phil and Buffett, and of course there are cynical intellectuals, such as the male protagonist's brother-in-law and Kafka , There are also violent elements, such as the male protagonist's brother and Prime Minister Sharon, and those ordinary people who are very ordinary, such as the male protagonist's father.
If you think of the male protagonist as a young version of Woody Allen, he will always love New York, the paradise of writers and artists, not the superficial Hollywood, so even if Oscar favors him, he would rather To play the clarinet, not to accept the award, but it is this maverick that makes countless young literary and artistic people kneel at his feet. If the director becomes a writer and turns his films into words, his popularity will never lose to Murakami Murakami. Of course, Woody Allen wasn't so cynical either, or he wouldn't have been such a successful and prolific director, just as the male protagonist would have gone from a literary youth to a successful nightclub owner.
There are some things in life that you will never get.
