When "The End of the Match" came to the Cannes Film Festival in 2005, the critics praised it as "Woody Allen's best work in ten years." The most allegorical thing in the film is the slow motion of the opening tennis. The voice-over directly shows that the change of fate is similar to the tennis match in the tennis match. Everything depends on accidental luck. It was also from this film that Woody Allen bid farewell to the first-person humorous ridicule and started the narrative from an objective third-person perspective. In the film, the tennis coach Wilton, played by Jonathan Les Meyers, is wobbly between the two women. On the one hand, he wants to be promoted to the upper class, but at the same time he can’t give up the glamorous actress Nora. lure. In the end, he killed Nora, but at the end Wilton was unable to recover from the nightmare. His inner suffering will accompany him throughout his life, and this is the greatest mockery of Woody Allen's destiny.
The story of "Game Point" reminds people of Hitchcock's thriller, Dreiser's "American Tragedy" and Woody Allen's own "Crime and Misconduct." This melancholy film has removed Allen's distinctive personal label in the past. When Woody Allen's name slides across the screen, most viewers will doubt whether their eyes are wrong. A whole generation of people had the impression of Woody Allen as a thin old man who only made noisy comedies, but this time Allen took the lead in overturning this old view.
The change of the city background in "The End of the Match" helped Woody Allen a lot. The magnificent picture drawn after careful observation of the city of London in the film can be called Allen's most outstanding creation in a long time.
