Listening to Woody Allen's Storytelling in Paris

Paris in the play is a treasure, and the old man is also a god. Although his mouth is full of black humor, he can't seem to say no, but it also guides the characters as if they have found their correct and mysterious track. That's right, this chatty, arrogant, paranoid, kind, and fantastic old man is like Woody Allen behind the camera and behind the black-framed mirror, the epitome of him 30 years ago. But this time, he didn't jump out and continue to direct and act, in his own words: "Larry has his own very unique connotation, and I don't know how to express his characteristics. He is sarcastic, mocking, sarcastic. A little neurotic, and a little sour feeling of a little intellectual. In short, this quality is what I need most, and it is also in line with the needs of the film. His sense of humor and understanding are very good. I can't do it, I'm more dependent on fantasies than he is. Some people say I'm crazy, and that's absolutely true. I might put the film in a pot as a plant, and I might make my coffee with cold water, Larry's not. So I used him as the protagonist." I can't resist black humor and some ridicule, agreeing with their rebelliousness and correctness; the other half of myself is worried that they will bias my values, but the world is so big, As long as it doesn't hurt, as BORIS said, anything is fine.

    After reading it, I decided to give it five stars. The ending is so absurd and funny! And that kind of warm and touching episodes of old movies in the 1970s and 1980s are swollen! With such an absurd ending with a sense of the times: gay couple, three way, old husband and young wife. so funny! Woody Allen was so obsessed with Scarlett Johanson that the film was released after S got married. Eighty-two old men and twenty-eight women, whatever works!

    The funniest film I've seen in 200a, Woody Allen continues to show off his rich vocabulary and his meanness and fun in rambled dialogue
