In "Twin Melinda", I always remember that magic lamp: on the gray story side, Melinda picked up the magic lamp at a friend's house, and prayed secretly in her heart to make some beautiful changes in my life; On the Pink Story side, Meilinda's neighbor picked up the magic lamp in the store and secretly said, I like Meilinda very much, but I don't want to hurt my wife, what should I do?
The people under Woody Allen's camera are just as chatty and neurotic as he is. Four people quarrel in a restaurant, is life a tragedy or a comedy? If a woman breaks into a family dinner as an uninvited guest, will it become a tragedy or a comedy? Does the director, your old man, want to say: "Life is a tragedy or a comedy, the key is how you treat it"?
I hate to believe that Woody Allen is going to tell such a story. I prefer to believe that he is saying that there are so many uninvited guests in everyone's life, and everyone may be an uninvited guest in other people's lives. You don't know which uninvited guest brings you tragedy or comedy. At least this one is not as hypocritical as Forrest Gump's "Life is a box of chocolates...".
Maybe the magic lamp gave gray Meilinda a talented and sensitive musician, maybe the magic lamp gave the neighbors a chance to express their feelings to Meilian, but life is unpredictable, what is gained is lost, and what is lost is finally gained. . If tragedy is confrontation and comedy is escapism, what about this kind of storyline between sadness and joy?
Uninvited guests, betrayal, fear, love at first sight, jealousy, embarrassment... These elements can all be made up of tragic comedies, no one can say for sure. It is said that after the film came out, it received mixed praise (some people say that Woody Allen is old, some people say that this is the work that shows his personal characteristics the most), but it really corresponds to the theme of Woody Allen. No matter which drama Melinda fell into, in the end, everyone said, hm, this is life, come on, let's go have another drink - ah, maybe someone's an uninvited guest.
