      Radio Days

      Good old days (often in spirit)

      2022-01-19 20:43

      Didn't say or change anything, just created the Good old days in the eyes of someone (in the film, let's say an 8-year-old boy in 1943 New York). In an era when the broadcasting industry was brilliant and star-making, even in times of wartime unemployment, embarrassment, lack of education, lack of entertainment and complaints, the...

      Integrate family stories into a big-time context.

      "Radio Age"

      "Radio Age" is all about Woody's childhood memories. A house full of Jewish relatives living together, a father who drives a taxi and works, an aunt who always fails blind dates, an uncle who babbles, grandparents, feelings for the radio, trips to Manhattan, eavesdropping on neighbors’ phone calls. . . . . . These are Woody's real...

      life thorn

      Hello everyone, I'm the cave master. The film "Radio Age" shared with you today is a bit similar to the Chinese version of "Diet Men and Women". It shows some trivial stories that happened to a group of people in a specific era. There is no complete story line, and more life fragments are shown, but some fragments in "Radio Age" are more exaggerated and ironic, revolving around radio programs, so...

      The clouds are easy to disperse, and the years leave a voice

      Personal score: 8 points (out of 10 points)

      On the axis of Woody Allen's works, people often set up labels for him including existential philosophy, urban satirical comedy, semi-autobiography, alienation effect, nostalgic age, love pessimism and intellectual complex, indicating that he has Formed a very strong personal style and clearly recognizable labelled characters in the works. It can be said that in the late 1980s, Woody Allen's...

      Chinatown My Chinatown !

      Hey, Wu Di is a nostalgic person. After making so many films, he still can't forget the old days. However, [White Chair] directed in 2027 has a nostalgic plot like a floral fragrance. Of course, the so-called is not nostalgic, all relatives are species. Of course, Wu Di hates modern society very much! For example. He said that we used to line up to go to the cinema, but now we can watch it on our mobile phone. So, it's very nostalgic. In fact, there are many ways to be nostalgic....

      Television shows happened in the TV set, but radio shows happened in the heads. "I've never forgotten any of these people". All fond memories. The most extreme nostalgia and the warmest memory. Along with Danny Rose as his warmest...

      Woody restores the 1940s in a cold and humorous way, with a strong sense of nostalgia throughout, and Diane Keaton's cameo evokes...

      The splendid affection is comparable to "Amacord", but behind the scenes commentary does not participate in the performance and is like "Childhood Memories", every good director has a hometown that will never fall, the New Year in 1944 seems to return to Diane. Keaton, Master Hongyi's last words were: sorrow and...

      Everyone is going through an era. Everyone has his time. The sad thing is that we always start to miss it when everything is gone, and only know the beauty of that time when we miss...

      The main line is Jewish family life in the radio age, and the sub-line is the difficult road to radio stardom. Nostalgia and irony coexist, and there is compassion in the humor. Mia Farrow is too malleable, no wonder the director loves her so much, Diane Keaton's short performance is so beautiful, it seems to be saying goodbye gracefully to Woody...

    The plot and story of "Radio Days" is far from enough, Woody Allen uses a lot of short stories, anecdotes and details in this film to outline a nostalgic picture of Brooklyn in the golden age of radio childhood. Many of the stories in the film, either directly or indirectly, are more or less related to radio broadcasts. Even some unsatisfactory points are written in a nostalgic and warm style, full of incomparable sense of the spirit...
