Moonlight is everywhere in life

The story started plainly. The old-fashioned marriage crisis, the middle-aged husband's emotional migration, the young and beautiful affair, the abandoned wife. Facing Ian's ruthless showdown: "Yes, yes, I have fallen in love with someone", Louis was shocked, heartache, heartache, shocked, and she calmed down within a few minutes, at least superficially. The corners of her mouth twitched imperceptibly, and then smiled, very calmly: "You will fall in love with me again before tomorrow." My heart moved at that time, and the corners of my mouth rose slightly. How could it be possible? A person who changes his heart—the heart is different from the brain—will change back again, overnight. If life is so simple and manageable, its name would not be called life.

To be sure, the director is a person with an optimistic outlook on life, or a person who yearns for a better life. Louis wrote, directed and acted in a robbery case, trying to save her marriage that had reached the edge of the cliff from another more serious disaster. She knows human nature in her palms. In the face of the "possible death", the brain of a person who is in danger of life is on the stage again, and the chaotic heart begins to restart. Louis and Ian are tied up in that small bathroom, and their lives have become simpler. Ian said, you used to be too fond of expressing opinions and nagging. Louis can't wait to say, I won't talk about it in the future, don't talk about it. Ian immediately said to Louis gently, no, no, you have to. Louis deeply expressed to Ian that she really wanted to give birth to a child for him, and before that we knew they had quarreled endlessly. But what I am particularly worried about is whether they can stay in this hut away from the triviality and helplessness of life forever. What's more meaningful is that Louis designed a thoughtful and meticulous detail in order to retrieve Ian's long-lost desire for male conquest for her: the robber man has repeatedly coveted her beauty and figure. Louis caused the power to stop (this is just my guess, because the power outage is such a wonderful thing at this time), the moonlight outside the window penetrated into the dim hut, and Ian finally found Louis "you are so beautiful" again.

The ending was very romantic. When the camera switched again, with soft blond hair and a bright smile, little Ian was sleeping in a small crib. After escaping the dreamy hut, they returned to the real world unharmed. It seemed that nothing happened. What I suddenly understood at this time is that there is only one Woody Allen in Hollywood. Only the slender and sensitive old man can see the flaws in the peaceful and orderly life, and only he can tell the flow of vacancy and helplessness in the lively and fiery life in the most nonchalant, mocking tone, and only he can be like "Midnight Barcelona" and " The witty and sadness in "Saiwei Point" tells us that every criss-cross intersection may be covered with miraculous moonlight, but in the end life is driven on the established track and cannot be changed.

    The ending is bright, you never know if there are lies hidden behind the shadows in the moonlight

    Like an experimental drama. I especially admire the heroine...

Serious Moonlight quotes

  • Ian: You need someone, not me. Not me in particular. She needs me, in particular.

  • Todd: See, here's the difference between you and me, man. Whenever I get the urge to get married, I grab my balls and squeeze 'em until I can't feel my legs, and then it just passes.
