The irony of the thief

Woody Allen’s "Amateur Thief" has the title of "Thief", but I don’t think the content focuses on the thief, and the protagonist has changed from the beginning to someone who was not thinking about robbing the bank and became the chairman of the biscuit chain. , The final bankruptcy ending makes the whole film even more dramatic. Although the film carries the narcotic power of "the poor have poor life, and the poor have poor blessings", it also brings comfort to the ordinary little people in life. The exaggeration and unintelligence of the hero in the film make an unmotivated and stubborn little person jump on paper, and the wife's blind pursuit of artistic elegance after getting rich is also a satire of some "rich people" in reality. The final bankruptcy even shows that the accidental "rich overnight", not good at business, is also a mess. It also warns us to do things down-to-earth.
