At the end of "Manhattan", the camera freezes on Isaac's embarrassed and hesitant smile. Trish's sentence "You should have some confidence in human beings" made him suddenly not know how to answer. Maybe Isaac was once a pure teenager. He has also paid with his heart, but the adult world has already taught him to be tactful and sophisticated. To the brave and kind Tracy, he expressed his purest views on feelings back then. Isaac was silent. I was also you, and I have become less like who I used to be.

He has been divorced twice, dated his girlfriend who is 25 years younger than himself, and later fell in love with his married buddy's extramarital girlfriend. He has been swaying from side to side. But every time the love is passionate, he said that I don't agree that there are other partners in a relationship, although his relationship is chaotic but he really only likes one person in each relationship.

Compared to Isaac's good buddy Yell, he is a bit scumbag. He has a happy marriage, a harmonious family and a successful career.

Unable to let go of Mary, this time he was going to make a desperate move out of his apartment to live with Mary. Isaac was very shocked. He thought he was ridiculous. When he was with Tracy, he always felt that Tracy was too young to go far, so he always encouraged Tracy to go out and see the outside world until after breaking up with Mary. Only then did he realize that among the women he passed by, only Trish loved him the most. When he figured it all out, he flew to Trish's apartment, but by this time Trish had left Manhattan and was about to fly to London to study. Isaac was very sad. He said that he wanted to keep Trish. Trish doesn't want to go to London, Trish said that she will only be there for half a year and will be back soon. Isaac feels that even half a year will change a lot, and then there is the scene at the beginning, Trish said you have to be kind to humans Confidence, this is the end of the movie. This film has the unique ramble style of Woody Allen. All the actors show the content of the film in their daily dialogues. This film deeply expresses the different attitudes of men and women to feelings, which seems to be paranoid, paranoid and selfish. The attitude of daring to love and hate is reserved for male characters, and the attitude of daring to love, daring to hate, passionate and single-minded is reserved for female characters. Yell's greed for extramarital affairs, Isaac's swing in love It may make people feel the confusion of men's attitude towards relationships. Originally, Yeer encouraged Isaac to date with his dewy beauty, but he really felt jealous when he saw his ex-girlfriend and his good friend being close, and Isaac was also jealous. Typically looking at the bowl and eating the pot, he already had a 17-year-old girlfriend who was in love, but he always felt that his girlfriend was too young and might not be able to accompany him for the rest of his life. His heart swayed, and he still chose to give up when Trish said again and again that Isaac was her true love. Isaac and Yeer's attitude towards relationships is really the standard for scumbags in today's age. They are irresponsible and reckless, but there is no right or wrong in the world of emotions. Some are just choices. They chose to be loyal to their hearts. Whether it was Yell's mishap about an extramarital affair or Isaac's indecision, in fact, more of them chose what they thought was right. They knew that this move might lead to doom and gloom for themselves. In an embarrassing situation, but neither of them hesitated, they chose to live in the moment. In this film, in addition to seeing the director's irony about the male characters' attitude towards relationships, it is more about men's common problems with dealing with relationships. What they can't get is always in turmoil. Yell's marriage is happy and Isaac's love is smooth. But when they see women who are better or suitable for them, they abandon their beliefs and beliefs, but when they really get them, they don't cherish them. This inconsistency is often a feature of human nature. Both Yell and Isaac have received In fact, the same is true of our lives, often we are not satisfied because we are always pursuing that touch of unreachableness. The emotional world of adults is complicated and dangerous, just like Xue Zhiqian's "Ambiguous" sings, maybe the current relationship is too expensive, making people who pay their sincerity so embarrassed, it is better to listen to a love song and forget who.

    #SIFF#Rewatch; Sure enough, Diane Keaton is the best partner of the old man. It is really enjoyable to see the two people quarrel with each other with various advanced terms and art; the ex-wife’s comments on him can also be regarded as a summary of all his works. Sharp and precise; the old man has been photographing himself all his life. This love letter to Manhattan is particularly charming against the backdrop of black and white light and shadow.

    What a personal Woody Allen love story. For some feelings, we should give more indifference and rationality. In this film, I saw a lot of people, including you, me, and her. "Not everyone changes, but you always have to have some confidence." The long shots of that era were beautiful.

Manhattan quotes

  • Mary Wilke: Facts?I got a million facts at my fingertips.

    Isaac Davis: That's right, and they don't mean a thing, right? Because nothing worth knowing can be understood with the mind. Everything really valuable has to enter you through a different opening, if you'll forgive the disgusting imagery.

  • Party Guest: Oh,but really biting satire is always better than physical force.

    Isaac Davis: No,physical force is always better with Nazis.
