      catch.

      Through the story that been told through the two film makers'; the construction of the Comedy and Tragdey been translated into every segment of the narrative. Two story lines goes simultaneously and interact perfectly.
      And at the same time, the film is self reflexive.
      By interpreting the story into plot, the film fufill the process of construction.

      In my perspective, no matter how we see the world end, happily or sadly.
      It is all about the matter of the life....

      Mentality determines destiny, you can have both

      Several people eat together, and at the dinner several people discuss their views on tragedy and comedy. During the dinner, someone told the beginning of a story, and then the two arguing people developed it into tragedy and comedy respectively... This is the prelude to "Twin Melinda". The beginning of the film reminds me of the composition that my teacher asked us to continue writing when we were young, and we did the same at that time. The film chose such a way of telling the story, which has...

      Why can't she take it easy?

      In fact, it is a simple, even a commonplace story. The same set of life experiences, two different viewpoints will bring out different effects, which can be tragic or happy, depending on how a person views them.

      A Melinda, a man who is a rare friend for her. Before dating, she always felt that the sky was coming down, she was very nervous, and she always had to drink and take medicine to relieve her worries. In the same way, facing the lover being robbed is even more life or death....

      A bit disappointed

      One tragedian holds that life is a comedy as the aspirations of human beings are always ludicrous and irrational. People watch tragedies to get themselves elevated. One comedian argues that there is nothing funny about living, everyone go around once and when it's over it's over. The essence of life is tragedic instead of comic. Therefore, tragedy confronts; comedy escapes. Then given the same material, the two playwrights make up totally different stories. Of course, one is pathetic while the...

      Both sides are unhappy


      One heroine, two stories, one tragedy, one comedy.

      The DVD cover is quite ingenious, with pure white on the left and dark gray on the right. Occupying the top half of the cover is a face, with a healthy face on the left, blond and red lips; on the right, a pale face with a single tear, and a pool of tears on the bottom of the cover. The title of the film, Melinda and Melinda, is in the center of the cover, with a straight black font on the left and a curly white font on the...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Evaluation action

    The elegant and simple poster of "Melinda and Melinda" has already expressed the meaning of the film before the moving image, and the twist of fate is all in it. She is Melinda. The film tells the story of a young woman from two different standpoints, comedy and tragedy, and the appropriate use of humor and romance in the film helps to show Melinda's pain. Woody Allen's comeback is truly a sight to behold, reviving Woody Allen's...
