Wretched and arrogant middle-class white man

All the costumes are self-portraits, Woody Allen doesn't even bother to dress up, and all his movies feature himself as the protagonist.

I hate his arrogance and arrogance, and I hate him even more after watching this movie. He is the male protagonist. When the protagonist satirizes the public and the female protagonist, what he said was Woody Allen's innermost thoughts. He was a self-proclaimed genius, full of contempt and contempt for the world, and thought that other human beings were pulling him down. level, pushing mankind to its demise, and the particularly kind he is willing to lower his body and listen to the words of stupid and slow-thinking people, human beings, kneel down and be grateful

Before the male and female protagonists get married, the male protagonist watched the female protagonist and said something very similar to himself, and then sighed about the magic of life, that completely unrelated people can meet. His eyes showed a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, seeing that this low-IQ and mindless idiot actually learned his theory very well, and looked like a child who could teach him. Their combination is not inexplicable at all, but a wife's development. When an ignorant girl with no self-identity is made into what the old man wants, it is time to pick. Reminds me of Gao Xiaosong proudly saying that my wife's worldview and the music he likes to listen to are all cultivated by me.

There are indeed some changes in the male protagonist in the film. The characters in the film say that the girl is the driving force of his life and he needs her very much. The male protagonist himself also said that he would not know what to do if he left the female protagonist, but I don’t think the male protagonist is Changed for the sake of the heroine, this is clearly the giant leaning down to mingle with the mortals. After the male and female protagonists get married, there is very little description of their relationship. The male protagonist accompanies the female protagonist to buy vegetables, ride bicycles, and eat the meals she makes. While enjoying the free service, the male protagonist looks at pets look at each other.

I don't quite understand what Woody Allen is trying to say, arrogant as he is, although a happy ending is arranged at the end, everyone finds a happy ending, but I don't think he is spreading love and beauty, bed photos A fairy tale ending. I think he shrugged his shoulders and said after mocking a large number of ordinary and incompetent people in the world, it doesn't matter, this world is such a shit, just live whatever you want, anyway, you low-level and mentally handicapped animals can't change anything, it's better Just in time for fun.

The film doesn't have any unreasonable parts except for venting, swiping his arms around the conservatives' mouths. The nature is suppressed, so it is necessary to release it. If it is not satisfied, it will let itself go crazy, but the struggle in the hearts of the characters is not described at all. In the eyes of the director, the struggle of the beliefs and desires of conservatives is asking for hardships. Stupidity caused their suffering and was not worthy of sympathy at all. I feel that I have gradually understood the reason why people say liberals are hypocritical: take their own perceptions as the truth, although they do not hate dissidents like conservatives, they do not treat them as human beings at all, but wake up from the inside Despise and pity them. Be strict with the law and treat yourself leniently

This kind of wretched man who holds his own privileges tightly and thinks he can look down on all beings, I don't know when he will be abandoned by Hollywood. It's hard because people behind the scenes in Hollywood are like that too, but fortunately Weinstein is down, things are always changing

    Love is a single thought, which can be blamed irresponsibly on the overreaction of hormones. It is difficult to last and always deliberately cares about right or wrong. Age, gender and time are all obstacles. But don’t forget, love is always cherished. Excessive inclusivity, while questioning that there are lovers on the left and right, "she" becomes "he", you can also indulge in the joy of suicide attempt and meet true love tonight.

Whatever Works quotes

  • John: [as he kneels down to pray] Lord I've sinned, please forgive me!

    Boris Yellnikoff: Why do all the religious psychotics wind up praying at my doorstep?

  • Boris Yellnikoff: [to audience] Why would you want to hear my story? Do we know each other? Do we like each other? Let me tell you right off, ok... I'm not a like-able guy. Charm has never been a priority with me. And just so you know, this is not the feel good movie of the year. So if you're one of those idiots who needs to feel good, go get yourself a foot massage.

    Boy on Street: Mommy, that man's talking to himself.

    Boy's Mother: Come on, Justin.

    Boris Yellnikoff: [to audience] What the hell does it all mean anyhow? Nothing. Zero. Zilch. Nothing comes to anything. And yet, there's no shortage of idiots to babble. Not me. I have a vision. I'm discussing you. Your friends. Your coworkers. Your newspapers. The TV. Everybody's happy to talk. Full of misinformation. Morality, science, religion, politics, sports, love, your portfolio, your children, health. Christ, if I have to eat nine servings of fruits and vegetables a day to live, I don't wanna live. I hate goddamn fruits and vegetables. And your omega 3's, and the treadmill, and the cardiogram, and the mammogram, and the pelvic sonogram, and oh my god the-the-the colonoscopy, and with it all the day still comes where they put you in a box, and its on to the next generation of idiots, who'll also tell you all about life and define for you what's appropriate. My father committed suicide because the morning newspapers depressed him. And could you blame him? With the horror, and corruption, and ignorance, and poverty, and genocide, and AIDS, and global warming, and terrorism, and-and the family value morons, and the gun morons. "The horror," Kurtz said at the end of Heart of Darkness, "the horror." Lucky Kurtz didn't have the Times delivered in the jungle. Ugh... then he'd see some horror. But what do you do? You read about some massacre in Darfur or some school bus gets blown up, and you go "Oh my God, the horror," and then you turn the page and finish your eggs from the free range chickens. Because what can you do. It's overwhelming! I tried to commit suicide myself. Obviously, it didn't work out. But why do you even want to hear about all this? Christ, you got your own problems. I'm sure your all obsessed with any number of sad little hopes and dreams. Your predictably unsatisfying love lives, your failed business ventures. "Oh, if only I'd bought that stock! If only I-if only I purchased THAT house years ago! If only I'd made a move on THAT woman." If this, if that. You know what? Gimmie a break with your could have's and should have's. Like my mother used to say, "If my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a trolley car." My mother didn't have wheels. She had varicose veins. Still, the woman gave birth to a brilliant mind. I was considered for a Nobel Prize in physics... I didn't get it. But, you know, its all politics. It's like every other phony honor. Incidentally, don't think I'm-I'm bitter because of some personal setback. By the standards of a mindless, barbaric civilization, I've been pretty lucky. I was married to a beautiful woman who had family money. For years we lived on Beekman Place. I taught at Columbia. String theory.
