what are we talking about when we talk about love

A very cliché story, but Woody Allen's films are almost always cliché stories, but they can always be made very romantic, which makes me think of her. All those who have experienced the fact that a loved one has an object should feel heartbroken after watching this movie and fall into deep thinking.
Although we will be laughing at the lines frequently during the viewing process, when Woody Allen finally says "we all need it", we will still be easily defeated. Come to think of it, this is the best romance movie I've ever seen (comparable to Manhattan and Love at Dawn and Sunset).
Technically, this movie uses... random cuts, but it also has a broken feeling. It can only be judged by the photos on the back wall, the sex life of the male lead, and the costume of the female lead. Time, and it is such a sense of brokenness, when the past scenes are quickly presented in the heroine's singing, you will sigh and say love, love, and there is no such thing as a living person.
There are also some very interesting shooting techniques. For example, two people are divided into two pictures. They are not cut with a computer, but are really separated by a wall in the way of a stage play, and the old man breaks the fourth wall from time to time. Talking through the camera... In short, there is a lot to gain.
I have watched this movie more than a dozen times, and every time I feel it, I will find it, and the density of lines is so great that I even recite some of them. When I was a sophomore in high school, I unknowingly imitated Woody Allen's way of speaking. As a result, no one could talk to me. In the end, I could only imitate De Niro, but this did not shake Woody Allen's position in my heart. .
When you fall in love with a woman, she leaves, she brings traces of you into her own life, and into the life of her new partner, you still love her, but in the end you can only meet and eat with her in a small restaurant. When you parted, you went in two different directions, and you looked back at her, but when the green light in front of you came on, you too had to leave.
