If youth is the peak of life
So old age is an abyss
— Simposka
The age of the three handsome men and beauties is added up, and it is not even equal to the old man's age.
How would an old Woody Allen feel when he sees these juicy young lives?
Woody Allen said in an interview: Honestly, who wants to watch older people fall in love? I don't have the illusion of "I'm still the same as I was decades ago!" I may still be wearing the same corduroy pants and the same glasses, but I've changed a lot. Like right now, you might think I'm sitting in front of you with weird ideas brewing in my head, but I don't. I just don't understand your question clearly! I'm telling you, getting old isn't good at all. You don't get wiser, you just get deaf and blind, have a bad heart, and can't catch pretty girls anymore! So, who wants to watch an older man go after Scarlett Johansson? It would be very different if Leonardo pursued him, believe me, it will be much better!
The young playboy looks forward to a romantic weekend with his little girlfriend, but everything takes an unexpected turn. I drifted away from my current girlfriend, and I met my new girlfriend too late.
It's not so much Woody Allen's critique of the hollow, frivolous life of the middle class as his fascination with uncertainty. Life is like a net. No matter where you squirm, you have your own path. The more you struggle, the tighter the net becomes. Just like the chaotic love in "You will meet a tall dark stranger" has its own suitable or inappropriate end.
Looking back on the years gone by, even the most profound wise person will love the superficial happiness. Youth is to be squandered, and it is best to spend it in a beautiful love.
