(I was wrong and I went too far)
Just as Sally's "sitting at home" husband who only wrote one book in the film said to his mother-in-law Helena, who was abandoned by her husband in her later years and was fascinated by divination: "Unfortunately, that you will meet the same tall dark stranger that we all eventually meet". "You will meet a tall dark stranger" is actually a pretty good metaphor. It is, and is just, a little hope that people place on the mundane life, and the wishful thinking that a turning point in the mediocre life will appear. In fact, maybe you will meet a dark and tall perfect stranger who seems to be a thousand times better than your boring husband, but he is perfect only because he is a Stranger. Once you pull him off the altar, he is actually one with the mediocre life you hate. Life is an endless cycle, and turning points will appear, but don't expect to rush to the road to a happy life, because after passing this point, you will come back. Life is so little, what can you expect? The beautiful red-clothed girl across the building was really fascinated by her changing clothes, but when she moved to the opposite side, and then looked across the street, the woman who was the ex-wife was half-faded and had a graceful figure; A young and sexy blonde, she was finally beaten up by a third-party fitness trainer at the scene of her new wife's cheating affair; Sally, who had a crush on her married boss and was finally forced to stop by the truth, was lucky.
Therefore, mobility is sometimes not a good thing, and hard work still returns to the original place. But it's a good thing to count on. The fortune-teller Cristal, who only appears at the beginning of the film, but runs through the entire Helena scene is also a clever setting. Although the audience knows that "past life" and "prediction of the future" are all bullshit scams, but as invisible Just like the "hope" that supports our lives, Cristal is Helena's hope. She is willing to believe in her, and she is willing to believe that she will "meet a tall dark stranger", otherwise how can life continue? Hope is a good thing, but the second half of the sentence is "especially before it is pierced by the sharp blade of reality", you can feel like Helena was a Joan of Arc in a previous life, and I can also imagine that I was kissed by a Doctor in a previous life The past Madame de Pompadour was innocuous. But I also know that I can't go out on the street in a medieval dress.
So the main theme of this film is actually very desperate, just to tell you: don't work hard, don't be stupid, clever women can't cook without rice, the composition of life is so monotonous and hopeless, you are just a little fish, no matter how much you flutter, you can only vomit a few times. Don't want to spit out ivory from a bubble. The great Shakespeare also said "life was full of sound and fury, and in the end, signed nothing" but you have to live, we all have to live go down. Then be your own Cristal, and give yourself a hope. Anyway, that's it, it's not as good as it is, it can only be this way. So be it
Woody Allen you bloody old man. We are all tacit, but you tear the face of life.
