Woody Allen is 83 years old this year.
People who like him can smile knowingly as long as they look at the characters in his paintings and think about them in front of the camera: those terms about literature, art and music are constantly flashing in the protagonist’s rapid speech, and the protagonist is always so talented and pretentious and a bit weird. A little clever and a little bit wretched, watching him sarcastically satirize the upper class, satirize vanity, satirize the poems and also satirize Wen Qing (also in the language that only Wen Qing can understand!), everyone laughed secretly. People turned their backs on their backs to indulge in this wonderful world that only belongs to Woody Allen.
Classics include "Manhattan" and "Annie Hall". In recent years, the well-known city series include "Midnight Paris" and "Midnight Barcelona". When you think Woody Allen is old and has no new terriers, his movies have changed. Cheng is a love story with no surprises once a year, but unexpectedly, he suddenly offered a "Rainy Day in New York", which is still a romantic killer far beyond expectations.
The reasons that make me look forward to this movie, in addition to "It's Woody Allen's film!" There is also the film's hero, Timothée Chalamet, who is unforgettable in "Please call me by your name" (Chinese circle Fans are given the nickname "sweet tea"). To be honest, it’s too sweet too cute to play Woody Allen's actor with Sweet Tea. In "Manhattan", Woody Allen himself plays a triumphant and somewhat inferior man, a clever, fragile, and insignificant man. When he was old, all the male protagonists were selected to act in his own way (Jesse Eisenberg in "Coffee Commune" fits this kind of temperament), "Rely on talent Win with a sense of humor", it is angry and funny.
In the film, Tiancha has shrunk his neck, shoulders and frowned as much as possible to play the poor image. However, the conditions are so good that there is no dead angle at 360 degrees. Even the audience can't bear to see him unlucky and injured, but it is also very cute. Fortunately, his personality is a little weird but full of charm: the rich second-generation son, the folk gambling saint, grows up immersed in an excellent cultural environment, full of poems and songs, but tired of the falsehood of the school and the upper class, trying to create and find Going back to the retro romance that does not belong to this era, the song "Everything Happens to Me", in which he complains about how unlucky he is, was also refreshed and sung by him.
The rich second generation has a deep love for school newspapers, and looks very ideal and innocent, but they can't resist the temptation of flashy circles, and they don't understand the fun of her boyfriend's weird ideas. On a rainy day in New York, the two people who were supposed to be dating together had different encounters. Here, the school newspaper girl nervously rubs her hands and smiles timidly, embarrassed and unbearable, while the brother Xiangzi wanders around, avoids, understands and reconciles, yes. While celebrities' lives are full of irony, it also makes "untimely romance" even more rare and precious. This intense dramatic tension generated in a short period of time also makes the viewing process interesting.
Because the past films are always full of extramarital affairs, mischief, and selfish abacus, I always think that Woody Allen is a person who yearns for romance but ridicules romance-romance may have happened for a moment, but human nature will always Conquer romance. In his most unforgettable "Coffee Commune" in recent years, at the end, the two of them are caught in the noisy environment of "Manhattan". Happy Ending like the ending of an idol drama in the movie: People who can understand your jokes and understand your fantasy appear in front of you miraculously at the magical moment you think. This is a superstition of the right time and place, and it is also the one that can hit people's hearts most. That kind of tacit love.
Frankly speaking, although I personally like this ending very much, I think about the "Manhattan" 40 years ago (the 40th anniversary rescreening just released not long ago), Woody Allen conveyed a completely different concept in it: No matter in the audience In the eyes of the hero and heroine, no matter how tacitly agree, there may be many reasons why two people become lovers, such as complementary personalities, unwillingness, and selfishness... These factors surpass love in many cases. There are only a few moments that can be remembered. One of them is the two people chatting all night under the bridge in the rain in the poster. Sorry? Pity. However, it is the least romantic opportunism of mankind to make a decision to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages after weighing oneself clearly.
What made Woody Allen finally decide to give up conspiracy theories and the usual regrets in this new film. We don’t know. I only know that I can finally witness the birth of a miracle in the flowing jazz and retro pictures. It is really the most happy thing this year.
