I think the French will respect him a lot, give him money, and let him keep making films.
Maybe Woody Allen can do another trilogy: Warsaw, Bucharest, Prague, for example.
Woody Allen continues his critique and irony of romantic characters, these impractical literary youths, while carrying plates and dressing others, dreaming of becoming the protagonists of Shakespeare plays, while enduring tedious husbands and rebellious children, endless. Endless family chores, as well as Prince Charming's trivia.
They indulge in beauty and destroy it.
Reading books on a plate is not a problem. The security guards of Peking University have all been admitted to the doctorate, and the American imperialists do not have such a strong class concept. The problem is that, in the eyes of literary and artistic youths, serving dishes is the most tedious and filthy job, with no aesthetics at all, dealing with the embers of the messy cups and plates, yes, the embers of fire. They should be served, enjoying candlelit dinners and beach cookouts.
But the world doesn't have both. A romantic person cannot tolerate another romantic person, because everyone likes the new and hates the old, and the so-called romantic love cannot enter the second stage, deep attachment. Attachment doesn't exist for them, they need constant stimulation, post-stimulation, post-stimulation. Every time I swear each other, every time I get drunk.
The best match for a romantic person is, of course, an idiot who loves others, works, sleeps, but doesn't appreciate art. Of course, it is best to appreciate art, but this is almost zero, and at most it is just entertainment, such as bowling, such as action blockbusters.
In Woody Allen's films, there are too many similar protagonists, full of desires, longing for dreams, crossing the line for this purpose, and trying, trying, and suffering. There are romantic love chasers, money chasers, and fame chasers. In any case, it is all about chasing the illusion and getting nothing. Some of them became enlightened and went back to live peacefully and peacefully, while others were destroyed by their own lies before they had time to repent. Alan laughed at them, just to wake them up.
Some intellectuals, on the other hand, consciously pursue this unavoidable attitude and take the initiative to try such deviant behaviors, such as the unreasonable and Manhattan, or the sweet and the humble. The male protagonists in it all flout etiquette, pursue excitement, and As for hurting some young innocent hearts. Manhattan is one of the rare things that makes people feel like an infatuated woman meets a bad guy, and an unreasonable male professor makes people feel terrible. The artist in the sweet and humble, no matter how good his guitar is, it can't compare to the infatuation of the laundryman for her.
Woody Allen, mocking romance, not infatuation. Men are addicted to lust, women are addicted to art, and both men and women have romantic tendencies. Both the romantic and the infatuated are unaware, they are both completely living their lives, but one can be single-minded and the other cannot.
After all, there is no difference.
Intellectuals, on the other hand, take the initiative to do evil, which is terrifying. They are too smart.
