Match Point - Match Point? Breakpoint?

I'm sorry, I went into the dark room to watch this film one day before the next block, because I heard two people tell me that it looks good in one day, and it is outdated to make this comment now.
The first time I saw that very film noirish black and white red poster, I thought there would be a classic film noir ending. The storyline has been going smoothly all the time. In classic opera's audio and video recordings, very film noirish narrations and dialogues add a deep black philosophical color to such a simple drama. The poor boy intends to marry the rich girl, but on the other hand, he frantically pursues Scarlett, the girlfriend of the struggling rich girl's brother, and maintains a sexual relationship with her.
Woody Allen is worthy of being a great director. He first misdirects all the audience with a deliberately unhurried first half and gentle misdirection. Then the conversation suddenly turned, Scarlett's pregnancy was not so much a Match Point, but more of a Breaking Point. This Breaking Point made the relationship unworthy of mention in the issue of worldly interests, so there was deception after deception, Evil selfish thoughts eventually led him to kill her after creating the illusion of a robbery. Allen didn't arrange a dead end game. Although the other ending of the film---The Detective Chief's Dream narrates 'good and evil pay off', after thinking about it, Allen still doesn't want it. To mess up again? Just let you viewers leave in grief and grief.
Finally, let's talk about my favorite actress Scarlett Johansson. Match Point is a complete transformation after her lost in translation. In the movie, she plays a mature woman who has the ability to captivate all men, is sensitive and fragile, and has been hurt. Looking back at her clear image in lost in translation, this perfect body of the same year as me is really promising.

voice over at the beginning:
'The man who said "I'd rather be lucky than good" saw deeply into life. People are afraid to face how great a part of life is dependent on luck. It's scary to think so much is out of one's control. There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net and for a split second it can either go forward or fall back. With a little luck it goes forward and you win. Or maybe it doesn't and you lose.'

    When I watched it, I kept saying "Is everyone around the male lead mentally retarded!" But that's not the point. The point is that everyone just wants to live and die in Xiao Qiao's light blue eyes like Bo Bing, it doesn't matter what he did, you will understand him and forgive him, because he is so charming.

    To put it bluntly, this movie is Love+Lust+Luck.

Match Point quotes

  • Tom Hewett: Chlo-Chlo, do you wanna have a knock with Chris for a bit? It's just that it's 5:00 somewhere, darling, and I've some serious cocktails to start making. Irish! Have you ever had a Cuba libre or a caipirinha?

    Chloe Hewett Wilton: It'd be really boring for Chris to play with me on my own.

    Tom Hewett: It's really boring for him to play with me, but he's a good sport. And anyway, you've got better legs than I've got. Chop-chop.

  • Chloe Hewett Wilton: I'm so bad.

    Christopher "Chris" Wilton: That's how you get better. Playing with a stronger player. Come on.
