    The grand and nuanced pseudo-documentary, with laughter and cursing, accurately restores the moodiness of the entire American society in the 1920s, which leads to Woody Allen's "Chameleon Paradox": it can't be a chameleon, and it can't be a chameleon . Although 80 minutes is short, the rhythm is super fast, making people feel dizzying. The Chameleon Song is so...

    Woody Allen is the best movie so far. Susan Sontag's psychiatric metaphor, Zelig's abnormal variation reflects the disorder of personality under the pathological representation, the chaotic experience of childhood and the idea of ​​trying to integrate into the crowd spawned alienation, and also gave him a multi-dimensional extraordinary experience, despite the variation The original intention was to be inconspicuous, but the reality has undoubtedly turned to the opposite. He was coerced by the...

    The last of the top ten in 2019, an excellent anti-genre film, uses a pseudo-documentary to show the story of a chameleon. The human chameleon played by the old man has gone through countless absurd ironies from longing for social recognition to brave self-identification. It's an excellent modern fable, but it's also excellent in form and content. After the middle chameleon was treated, I thought the spearhead would be directed at the arrogant type of people, but the old man was still romantic...

    Woody Allen's multiple deconstruction of the chameleon brought a multi-layered satire on American society, and presented it with a pseudo-documentary tribute to "Citizen Kane". It can only be said that the old man's creative ability at that time was really...

    The film ends by saying, "It was not the public's approval that changed his life, but the love of a woman." Well said, the chameleon Zelig kept trying to fit in with everyone by becoming like the people around him, and was finally saved by Eudora's love. I remember watching another movie before and it was also a woman who saved a man with love in the end. Woody Allen's filming is so good, and the pseudo-documentary format is almost...

    Woody Allen and Mia Farrow hadn't had a falling out that year, so it always felt ridiculous to see the love scene in the film. Woody Allen is so playful, the effect of the pseudo-documentary is really...

    The form of a fake documentary (the 1980s successfully imitated the 1930s), the unsmiling humor, the more the jokes are made, the more the wisdom behind them is revealed. In short, a very unique movie. The chameleon Xili has changed from an almighty man to what Camus called an outsider, and then finds his own life direction among the superego, id, and ego. [The true meaning of life that can be understood only by paying 600 to learn Hebrew / Unfortunately, I haven't read Moby...

    nice! It is both imaginative and creative, with both laughs and highlights. And when it comes to Zelig's faults, everyone has one. Because I want to be liked, because I feel insecure, I imitate other people unconsciously, and I want to please other people unconsciously. The process is so absurd, but the motivation is real and pathetic. After a lot of hard work to find himself, I don't know how many real bones there...

  • House-Painting Victim: He painted my house a disgusting color. He said he was a painter. I couldn't believe the results. Then he disappeared.

  • Leonard Zelig: I would like to apologize to everyone. I... I'm awfully sorry for, for marrying all those women. It just, I don't know, it just seemed like the thing to do.
