2021.09.23 Revisiting mark at home isolation, I am sure it is still one of my Woody's top ten!

----------A very short dividing line---------

First of all, put the conclusion first. This is a humorous comedy that can make you relax and laugh. It is a very authentic Woody delicious dish.

Woody contributed his long-lost jokes in the movie, but Diane Keaton's rejoining was even more exciting. The tacit cooperation between the two reminded me of the first collaboration between the two in "Stupid Goose" that year.

One point of discussion that cannot be avoided is that this movie was shot in 1993, and it was the first work after Woody and Mia broke up. I think Woody did not continue to shoot ethical films with strong character and plot like the past ten years of working with Mia. Instead, he chose such a light comedy packaged in a suspenseful shell. In fact, you can see the old man. He has a thorough view of the impermanence of life, and if you live a lifetime, you probably have to face life and changes like this.

In fact, it is said that when Woody and Diane were shooting this film, the filming atmosphere of the whole film was also very relaxed and pleasant. Maybe both of them have recovered the feeling of a long absence, so we as audiences are also fortunate to be able to After many years, I continue to see such relaxed and happy two people continue to chatter on the big screen. I also firmly believe that the friendship between Woody and Diane is really forever hahaha.

Let me first talk about the theme behind the movie. In fact, although the shell is suspenseful, and even the title of the film contains terrible words such as "murder", the movie is actually Woody's set of descriptions and thoughts on the relationship between men and women. And Diane's return has greatly strengthened the charm of the movie, which is simply the best gift for Woody and Diane fans. Looking at the two people who bump into each other in the movie, I can't help wondering if Woody and Diane got together like in "Anne Hall", and then they will face a seven-year itch when they reach middle age. Love crisis. Diane hopes to find some fun and excitement in a dull marriage, and still maintain a woman's sensibility and agility, while Woody chooses to settle for the status quo and live a dull life steadily, highlighting the man's rationality and stability. During the period, both sides had the temptation to come from a better environment, but in the end, because of a suspenseful murder case, the two regained their confidence and touch in love and marriage. I think it also implies Woody’s belief in luck. He has no intention of inserting willows into the willows. In some relationships, your efforts may not yield results. However, under the stimulation of certain external events, the two sides may find a point of reconciliation again, and then reconnect. Back to a relaxed relationship.

What I want to talk about is the style of the movie. The movie is still very Woody, and it also incorporates a lot of Hitchcock-like performance. Even so, we can still see Woody, who has been talking for thousands of years, talks like Parkinson in the claustrophobic movie, and will keep complaining about Diane’s "Gossip Boyfriend" Woody. What's more interesting is that, We can also see that Diane is also like Woody No. 2, with no brains and annoying thoughts, incarnate into a excited and reckless little woman, just like a horn of horns, plunged into a murder case that had no evidence and was entirely based on imagination. All kinds of recklessness and accidents always make people laugh. When I was watching a movie, I kept thinking, this is obviously a suspenseful movie about murder, how come there are so many laughs! Their every move is as humorous as the couple who assassinated Napoleon in Love and Death. But to be honest, even if the old man didn't do anything on the screen, just stood there, dancing and talking about it for the last 100 minutes, I could laugh and applaud.

    I'm so moved that the hero and heroine didn't even cheat, and many of the lines made me laugh to death, especially the line in the elevator "claustrophobia and a corpse, it's really the first prize of mental illness", I laughed out loud in an instant, and I'm no longer afraid of elevators There are dead people on top.

    It was originally a murderous suspense and reasoning film, but it was turned into a nagging comedy by Woody Allen. Isn't the heroine afraid that curiosity will kill the cat? In reality, when I meet someone who might hide far away, I am so curious about what the police do.
