"Scoop" clearly involves the unique social concerns of the United Kingdom-old-style aristocracy and tabloid culture, and romanticizes and explores news reports. As in the movie "The End of the Game", the reckless and brave American civilian class broke into the polite and graceful, occasionally hypocritical British upper class, and because of the addition of Woody Allen, the film also has New York Jews facing the British upper class Protestantism. The cultural and religious collisions of believers, but Woody did not make a big fuss in a serious sociological sense. The film continues some of the themes and dramatic settings in the movie "The End of the Game", but the latter is more serious while the former is mostly game-based

"Scoop" tells a rather old-fashioned story, more like Woody Allen's early light comedy play. However, the advantages of the film are obvious. For all viewers who like Woody Allen, this advantage is that there are no more fresh elements as usual. And the shortcomings of the film are exactly the same. This is just a film that doesn't seem to have much ambition or characteristics. It seems a little careless. In fact, there are subtle flaws in the whole story. As the movie tells the audience at the end, the murderer actually just borrowed a tarot serial killer to cover his murder, and this result does not match what the secretary told reporters in the underworld at the beginning of the film, and in the end also Can't give a reasonable explanation. The film repeats the routines of Woody Allen's previous works from beginning to end. Some humorous passages and accidental coincidences provide some simple comic effects, without too much entanglement in the needles of Shang Liushe or the theme of life. Deepen, everything is just for entertainment
