      Our lives consist of how we choose to distort it.

      Reality and fiction, reality and dreamland, show the absurd truth of life in chaos and disorder. Although the language of the cheats is exhausting, the overall look still gives the impression that Woody Allen is a genius.

      Woody Allen's films have always been a style, ruthlessly sarcastic, satirical, dissecting the truth of life, telling us that life is nothing, so we might as well be a hedonist to enjoy, and a cynic to connotate life. And then finally make the final call and tell you...

      Some Fragment Insights for this Fragment Movie

      I don't know how to comment on this movie. Although the plot is spliced, it is not difficult to understand and the level of brain burning is not high. It's just the theme itself that I don't feel has grasped the core, although there are many small insights. Huigen is still not enough, you need to look at other people's film reviews. But I think I'm in love with woody allen, his weird style suits my taste so well, I can think of the artistic atmosphere of New York through his films,...

      How he deconstructed

      The story is very simple. A writer who is sexually addicted and unwilling to take responsibility for others, a review of his own life, this is Woody Allen's self-deprecating analysis of himself. I say that it ranks in the top 5 because it has a very special narrative structure like pulp fiction. The story begins with a man and his wife and sister secretly hiding and making love at a family gathering, and then the perspective suddenly shifts to the writer himself and his world-the writer has...

      Small thoughts

      It is said that it is based on the old way of imitating the stardust of the eight and a half movies? However, I have never seen it? The eight and a half movies have a strong sense of existence in the film review.

      Today, I saw a description of Woody's movie on Zhihu: "Those who want to find meaning in life and talk about it incisively often hit the rocks; and those who are simple-minded and have few words are more likely to have a life." The same is true for this one. , Harry, who is...

      The old Wudi in the past was really talented. Now the talent is not very good, but still very hardworking. In any case, I will watch everything he shoots, probably because he is the person who can make fun of himself the most in the world, no...

      85/100 One of the funniest movies of the old man, the lines are so funny and the lines are too much. Literary of the unreal and the real, the creator can also meet the characters and make a self-summary, the deconstruction is not love, but literary creation, or deconstructing Woody Allen, really set up a hell scene, very hard to ridicule" -Your whole life... it's nihilism, cynicrism, sarcasm, and orgasm. -In France, I could run on that slogan and win.” “-Supposing I told you that my fucking Amy...

      Woody Allen's "Wild Strawberry", but more than Bergman's NB... That ecstasy jump cut, that mysterious screenwriter. Although the ending is not cheating, it is really bleak, as if it is the "final work" being filmed. @萧龙忍, the structure of this film is more mysterious, go and watch...

      The surface layer is "Wild Strawberry", and the inner layer is "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie", which puts on the table the spiritual connection and exploitative attributes between the author and the character in artistic creation, and finally interprets with countless moments of genius what is "cleaning up" Broken heart, then turn it into...

    Movie plot

    The protagonist is a writer, and the film is intertwined by three threads: the writer's messy emotional life, his memories of his previous life, and he put his life into the complex of the novel. The characters in the novel are his escape, his interpretation of life. This method adds a lot of trouble to him, because people around him can tell who he is talking at a glance, and it also gives him some balance, because he relies on the...

    • Harry Block: Every hooker I ever speak to tells me that it beats the hell out of waitressing. Waitressing's gotta be the worst fucking job in the world.

    • Harry Block: All people know the same truth. Our lives consist of how we chose to distort it.

    • Harry: The ironic thing is that the school that kicked me out is honoring me soon.

      Shrink: Why did they kick you out?

      Harry: Because I wasn't interested in college. I wanted to be a writer and that's all I cared about. Also, I tried to give the Dean's wife an enema. They didn't take kindly to that.
