often say that "a good movie has its own unique characteristics of the times." I don't think so. I think a really good movie is just told based on an era, no matter which era it is viewed from. Equally fascinating, what it expresses is timeless.
Whenever I have an emotional problem in reality, I go to a Woody Allen movie and the men and women (and himself) being teased in his films might make you laugh, but think about the men and women in your life More than anything in the drama.
Bullets Over Broadway is the best screenplay Woody Allen has ever written, set in 1920s New York City.
A young and ambitious but slightly neurotic small-town playwright David has created an excellent work.
With the support of the famous producer Julian, he finally has the opportunity to put this play of his own on the Broadway stage. , but this investment plan has a conditional, must arrange the investor gangster Nick's favorite nightclub geisha Olive to play an important role in the play, however, Olive will not act at all (below left).
And the second male lead (pictured right) is the second male lead in this film. Although Cheech is the bodyguard arranged by the gangster to Olive, he has extraordinary artistic talent to provide inspiration for David's drama, because it is unbearable for gangsters The lover's lame performance actually killed her. In the end, he was also killed by the gangster. As a bodyguard, he used his actions to interpret the qualities that an artist should have. When he was dying, he was still thinking about how to end the script.
And the past actress Helen, who fascinated David, controlled him little by little and used his talents.
The whole movie talks about the question, when we love someone, do we love a part of him or the whole person, as David asks Helen and his girlfriend Ellen "you're in love with me" The artist is still me." Probably most people would say it is this person, but the two are not opposites, like Ellen answered "Both" or "I can fall in love with a man who is not an artist, but I will not fall in love with an artist who is not a man enough" .
Some people often pin their love on a person to a specific thing, or like to find a reason to love a person. For example, I love what he can give me, love his artist qualities, love a certain part of his body. But when you meet someone who can give you more material satisfaction, when he is no longer attractive, or when his artistic qualities are not there, will you still love him? True love says yes. Like the characters in the movie, we can all confuse love with other things and mistake it for love, but we don't know that love also needs to be sober.
The end of the movie is one of my favorites, when David's premiere was a huge success, he was depressed, and he came alone downstairs to his girlfriend's current lover and friend Flender's house and wanted to talk to Flender. Talking and trying to save his girlfriend Ellen
(David shouted upstairs and asked to talk to Freund, who was wearing pajamas and opened the window)
* Freund: "Haha! Look who's coming, Broadway hits! I don't write bestsellers, I write art, and I deliberately keep them off."
* Davey: "Is Ellen there?"
* Freund: "No, she's not."
* David: "I think she's there."
(Alan, also in pajamas, appears next to Freund)
*Allen: "Congratulations, David. I knew you would."
*David : "Hehe, this, you are wrong. I have to, I have to ask you a question."
* Ellen: "What?"
* David: "Do you love me as an artist, or as a person?"
* Allen: "Both."
* David: "So what if I told you that I'm not really an artist?"
* Allen : "I can love a man who is not an artist, but I will not love an artist who is not a man enough."
* Freund: "This, this is too academic. She is now with me."
* David: "You really Are you going with Freund?"
* Freund: "Yeah!"
* Allen: "Hey! Freund is great."
* David: "Oh."
(The opposite window opens, and a woman leans out head)
* Woman: "Hey, I've slept with Freund too, and he's just average."
* Ellen: "Really?"
* Freund: "Rita, what is this! What did you say? What! That happened years ago when I was single."
* Allen: "I think we're interactive, I think he's great."
* Rita: "Ha, that's interesting, are you talking about a purely technical aspect? ?"
* Allen: "His skills are amazing."
* Davey: "Awesome? You're confusing sex with love."
* Rita: "No, to me, love has to be very Deep, sex, just a few inches is enough."
* Freund: "You, you're all missing the point. The point is, I can give a lot of enjoyment a day."
* Rita: "Oh come on, Freund, is quantity related to quality?"
* Freund: "Quantity affects quality."
* David: "Who said that?"
* Freund: "Karl Marx."
* Rita: "Oh, economics again."
* Freund: "Sex is economics."
* David: "Come down, Ellen, I want to talk to you. I love you and I want to see you , come down."
* Allen: "Okay."
* Freund: "Hello, okay? What do you mean? What should I do?"
* Allen: "You're great Freund, but not I can't get over David. Can't you see, every time I orgasm I'm yelling: David! David!
* Freund: I thought it was, "Go on! (Do it)! Do it (Do it)!”
David finally won the original cool of Ellen, and he also finally determined two things. First, he is not an artist. Second, he really loves Ellen.
Finally, I would like to say that you need a reason to love someone, and the reason is himself.
