"Deconstructing Lover" portrays a ridiculous and slightly sad protagonist, Harry. In terms of career, Harry (Woody Allen) is a successful writer who is good at making life artistic. But in life, Harry lives a fragmented, chaotic and disorderly life. He refuses adult self-modification, refuses to bow to Bovariism, obsessed with sex and alcohol", "familiar with family, marriage, school and "The Bible" is all contempt." During his marriage, he has repeatedly derailed, has an affair with his sister-in-law, and is ambiguous with fans... But all these unbearable privacy have been written into his own novels, turning others' pain into "own" "Gold", so the hurtful prototypes around Harry broke with them one by one, and Harry became completely alone.
In fact, the anxiety of the reclusive personality, the uncontrollable desire, and the accusations of bad language have been torturing Harry. He turned to psychologists, drugs, alcohol... for help, but the only thing that kept him from being defeated was his constant flow. s work. However, Harry finally encountered the greatest gloom in his life: his creative inspiration seemed to abandon him, and he had to face the condemnation of being controlled by the moral society while facing the test of the exhaustion of his personal imagination. The boundary between real and fiction, the interspersed performance of life and fiction, presents an unreserved, self-deconstructed life loser and art devotee. Perhaps Harry was also confused and aggrieved: everyone called for truth and transparency, but when a person really frankly met, he had to face criticisms of "dishonest, rude, and unbearable".
When Harry was on the verge of collapse, he received an invitation from his alma mater to accept the honorary award ceremony, but he could not find a companion. In desperation, an escort composed of paid prostitutes, boring friends, and son abducted from his ex-wife set off. However, Harry finally failed to wear the Medal of Honor in front of his son. The last vanity of a father and a writer in reality was shattered by the rules and order of reality. Harry was arrested for abducting his son and passing with prostitutes who had possession of drugs, and it was his rival who released him on bail. Whether it was a realistic gentleness or a moral gesture, it was at least a sign of reconciliation. Having experienced the consequences of a self-destructive life, Harry also began to reflect on the care and abandonment, gains and losses in life: Since real life is regarded as the sacrifice of artistic creation, is it not a luxury to be affirmed in the real world?
Finally, Harry ushered in a moment of "well-deserved" honor. In Harry's own world, all the characters he created attended his honorary ceremony in Stebbins Hall. Harry said excitedly: "I love you, really. You gave me the happiest moment in my life, you even saved my life, and now you have taught me many things, and I am sincerely grateful to you. "So Harry, who is on the verge of a defocusing crisis in the film, is finally deconstructing his own "life, works, autobiographical elements, the fantasy released through fictional works, and the persistence of not being paranoid to death but holding a fantasy life". Harry finally found the element to re-paste the self-fragment: if you still can’t see me, put on corrective glasses! Wow, really just. Obviously, in the praise of art and life, he still chose art.
"This is me, in fact, I don't plan to change my face at all." This is Harry's to the protagonist in the novel, and Woody Allen's to "Structural Lovers". Woody Allen uses movies as a means to get rid of all demons that hinder individuals from finding long-term happiness and sea lanes. Because he understands that life is meaningless, love is fleeting, and his inner choice is never logical. He explored the essence of reality from the shooting of the film, and his instinct continued to urge him to awaken through deconstruction and reflection. "If Woody Allen doesn't like people commenting on his personal life, he himself chooses to use the camera to open his own territory in order to control the entrance and exit, the truth and the illusion..."
