Famous painters recruit beautiful women who love art and want to be engaged in painting as their assistants. In New York, a place where every inch of land is expensive, they provide the opportunity to eat, live and observe the master's painting and learning.
It seems that this person is very selfless. He went to the airport to pick up his female assistant, allowed her to take a one-night stand overnight, and even molested the police uncle for her. Looking at it this way, it seems that the female assistant has been doing it again and again. In fact, this is not the case. This man is extremely controlling and selfish. In the name of love, he controls others, making them unable to have their own life and work, and destroying their self-confidence.
At the end of the film, he has found a simple girl to be his assistant, so let's start a new round of deception!
The music in the film is for the plot, it's a little noisy and a little noisy. The beginning of the film gives people a very restless feeling, very rock-and-roll. Lenovo Martin Scorsese also made a documentary for the Rolling Stones, and I can understand his inner rock and roll soul.
The second story: life without zoe
zoe means life in Greek.
This film is in a particularly childish and cute state, and even the title is written in squiggles. Seeing that the screenwriters have the names of Francis Ford Coppola and Sofia Coppola (the first names are not written in the title, only the first names are written, which is very kind), I can understand the following plot.
She has lived alone in a big hotel in New York since she was a child, and the staff in the hotel are very kind to her; a precocious, lovely, and even wise girl, she solemnly reasoned with adults and helped them solve problems; He works as a reporter, likes cosplay, and is keen to participate in parties; he loves his mother, but he loves his father more; he has been flying with his parents since he was a child.
Isn't this a portrait of Sofia Coppola's own life?
But in the plot, I saw when the children went to a party, someone dressed up as the queen of Louis XVI; when zoe was talking intimately with dad; when dad's handsome face appeared on the screen. I knew that luxury, aristocracy, a talented father, a romantic girl, these things are imprinted in Sophia's bones. Isn't that what her later works, good or bad, are all about? Always exquisite macarons, they look beautiful, they will get tired of eating too much, and they are meaningless.
The third story: oedipus wrecks
actually tells about the relationship between Woody Allen and his mother!
In the sentence, the protagonist changed his Jewish name. There is a mother who always likes to show strangers pictures of him when he was a child. The mother always tells about how cute he was when he was a child, and always ignores that this little cute is 50 years old. various behaviors. The thing is, every time his mom says he's not doing it right, it's really what he's not doing well.
The protagonist recently had a girlfriend with three children, and she was getting along well, but her mother still felt inappropriate. Then the protagonist took her mother to see the magic, and her mother was changed!
At the beginning, the protagonist thought that this life was too good, and finally there was no mother "pointing fingers" to him. He felt that the whole person was relaxed, and he and his girlfriend sex were more harmonious.
However, it soon became apparent that Mom could be in the sky and talk to everyone on the ground. The mother talked to strangers about her worries about her son, and also showed pictures of her son in her bag, of course, starting from a 1-year-old photo.
The protagonist's life has been affected again. So he found a psychic, and in the process of dancing with the psychic, he developed feelings for the psychic, and at the same time his girlfriend couldn't adapt to the current life and broke up with the protagonist.
While the protagonist is with the psychic, his mother is finally back! The mother was very satisfied with the psychic, and began to show the psychic the photo of the protagonist, of course, starting with the first photo of her buttocks.
In general, of the three stories, Martin is the most "unexpected", more rock and wild; Coppola's is the most innocent, but also a little disappointing; Woody Allen plays normally, and his usual style , the most consistent.
