Love, it's a hypocritical and practical thing

Actually, I didn't expect much from this movie.
Jesse and Kristen are still too young as actors and Woody Allen as a playwright is nearing dusk. I really feel that this combination is not very good.
But after watching it, I have an indescribable feeling, as if the three views were torn apart and then put together by mistake.
I think Woody Allen's filming of such a movie is probably similar to Jin Yong's writing of The Lu Ding Ji in his later years. The reality after tearing apart the idealism is often the most ridiculous.
In the movie, Vony, as always, wears the attire of a young literary woman that Woody Allen loves. She is beautiful and moving, and she behaves beautifully and refined in Hollywood where people want to benefit. Hugh also revealed a bit of grievance. In front of the young man who felt out of place and inferiority for the first time, he talked about his disdain for wealthy life and his yearning for ordinary life, but he was not interested in the young man's enthusiastic pursuit and the offer of returning to New York to marry and have children without ambition. While secretly trying to get the elderly and rich lover to leave his wife to give her a name, he threw himself into the ardent embrace of the young man every time he was frustrated to seek warmth.
Does Vony really dislike the clamor of Hollywood's high society? I don't think so. At first, she kept her dignity with her mouth because she couldn't get it. After she got it, she was duplicitous because she wanted to keep herself different. to justify. She is very hypocritical, but her hypocrisy is actually less important under her charm, because the two men who were played around by her may not be able to see through this, but they are still convinced by her, or maybe it is Her duplicity created her charm.
As Wilde said, love begins with self-deception and finally deceives others. This is the so-called romance.
The so-called love in this movie can be read word by word from what each character has said, but it is just a one-man show performed by everyone in a tacit understanding.
Everyone tries to deceive themselves in love, using all kinds of words to cover up what they love the most.

    Not too much effort to narrate, nor too deep feelings. relatively flat.

    It was a cinnabar mole that was drunk by Jin Mizhi, and her beautiful soul was embedded in her chest in the tavern years ago; it was a piece of white moonlight in the sensual dogs and horses, and the light in Central Park after years was like a sunset shrouding the rest years. The United States is so big, and the two people will always just meet for the first time; love is so ridiculous, stop and go derailment is still silent. You see, this happy couple in front of people, who knows if there is another love in their hearts, day and night.
