I heard this film recommended by Lu Yu at first, and it was Woody Allen's, so I came to watch it specially.
But after watching the first few minutes, I think it's okay, but it's not that attractive. So one after another, I finished watching the film one after another.
The male protagonist (let's call him Lao Li) is a writer in his 40s who has published two books that were not very popular. He was anxious and had what is commonly known as a "midlife crisis." His career is not very successful, his family life is dull, his wife is Catholic and too conservative, and his family life is dull. So he finally couldn't help it, and he had a showdown with his wife. He had already had an affair with his wife's best friend and asked for a divorce.
Then the story unfolds along the life of Lao Li and his wife after their divorce. Lao Li kept meeting all kinds of celebrities, all kinds of beauties, and things went well at the beginning. He lived with his beauty agent, and the beauty agent also worked very hard to help him sell new books and help him develop his career. . But he still couldn't bear the loneliness, and when he saw the difference, he finally chose a young and beautiful girl, but the beauty agent left him in a fit of anger and threw his manuscript into the sea. After Lao Li kept changing his mind, he was finally dumped by the young girl, the new book also flowed away, and the bamboo basket was empty.
But Mrs. Li was very lucky. She met a diamond king who was once in a century, and got rid of the shackles of the previous "feudal" thinking, and happily started a new life.
People can't stand loneliness. They are forced to jump up and down by the empty and mediocre daily life, but it is inevitable that they are still empty-handed after all kinds of tossing. This is the helplessness of life.
——————————————————————————— (The following is an excerpt from the review on Wikipedia)
Entertaining, but too scattered.
And even with Branagh as his younger alter ego, Allen finds no way to revitalize the character's predictable worries about advancing his career and chasing beautiful women ...
Some of the moments are very funny. More are only smile material, and a few don't work at all. Like all of Allen's films, it's smart and quirky enough that we're not bored, but we're not much delighted, either ... Branagh has all the Allen vocal mannerisms and the body language of comic uncertainty. He does Allen so carefully, indeed, that you wonder why Allen didn't just play the character himself.
Woody Allen is just a little old man who complains while telling jokes~~
