Change is not always a good thing

Still in typical Woody Allen style, this time he is no longer obsessed with murders or the fiery Spanish style, but returns to the kind of story he is best at: the marriage crisis of two couples, Dialysis out is the world. Middle-class roles, tangled relationships, sarcasm, and self-deprecating. Of course, there is also dark humor, which always reveals tragic feelings in comedy. The character setting seems familiar: the brainless blonde, the overwhelmed old man, the intelligent and thin intellectual woman, the muse in red, these are in "Non-Powerful Aphrodisiac", "Midnight White Serona", "Midnight White Serona" Anne Hall" can find traces. But I'm glad he's back for our annual consolation. Like a reunion of old friends, he speaks of doubts about all prudence, a deep, reflective conversation about life itself.
The scene was shot in London, so that the atmosphere and feelings have a traditional British literary atmosphere. The film opens with a quote from Shakespeare's "Macbeth". The original text is to the effect: Life is the raving of madmen on the stage, except for anger is noise. It tells such a story, the old father and the old man chatted about teenage madness, divorced his wife who had been married for decades, and fell in love with a prostitute. The ex-wife put all her hopes in the hands of a fortune-teller. Their daughter and son-in-law also faced a choice, each "encountering strangers", the wife fell in love with the gallery owner, and the husband fell in love with the female neighbor.
It seems that everyone is looking for change. Strangers are just inducers, and the writer's son-in-law is not sure of his wife and turns to his female neighbor for inspiration. The old husband who had been married for 40 years suddenly longed for a change, but the wife just wanted to ignore him with the old view of Chen Zhi’s rotten millet.
Is change a good thing? not necessarily. Those in power can raise their arms and shout "change", making people think that the savior has arrived. Woody was in his study, behind thick spectacles, with a gleam of suspicion. Divorce, can you find new youth? Is this tall and handsome strange man the savior who saves a hopeless life? The movie gives ambiguous answers. If you are deeply involved in the world, you will understand that there is no standard answer that is completely bright and omnipotent in this world.
This is exactly what makes Woody most moving. He is a comedy director, but full of the philosophy of ancient Greek tragedy. Like a philosopher hidden in bars, football fields, and female stars, he looks at his surroundings with understanding and detachment. He understood, understood, mocked, deeply satirized, but deeply saddened.
