      Quite interesting

      Wearing work shoes today is like women's feet in the feudal period. My instep is too thick. Come back to watch a movie. I recommend this movie, you can watch it in the warm afternoon, you can watch it in the cold morning, it's best to be alone and slowly penetrated.

      Such an interesting story. After watching the whole movie, it felt so strange and comfortable. I didn't even remember the name of the protagonist after watching it, but I can't tell where it made me so comfortable. Because...

      Fireworks

      Still an old man who coexists with romance and wretchedness.

      Picasso, the woman holding the guitar, ah, I’m really curious, the tone of Allen’s movie says what Picasso is like, but he never commented on Picasso in the movie.

      It’s also a way of hypnosis, it’s very romantic, but whatever,

      Unfortunately, every dreams turn to reality

      Familiar allen theme "I once said that if there...

      Woody Allan is such a romantic person

      Woody Allen's gesture of wiping his hands in a windbreaker is too cute. He always writes about some difficult and difficult cases that occur with a small probability. The protagonist always has the luck of picking one in a thousand. The strongest brain, the lines are very interesting, this is part of his paranoia, connecting romance with the jewel thieves, always love to act small people, underestimate, surprise people, big stories of small people, thieves, murders, this kind Tension is his...

      If the short comment is not enough to write, put it here to describe

      As a veteran employee of the insurance company who has served the company for more than 20 years, Woody, the little detective of the insurance company, hates the new administrative employee H. In his opinion, H is a self-righteous newcomer and spoiler, and H has never looked down upon Woody. I feel that he is showing off his qualifications and has no ability, just playing some inconspicuous cleverness, and cooperating with some people who are engaged in crimes and thieves, so that he can...

      What can we believe?

      No wonder Baby Anne said that life is a grand illusion. We say, what we see, what we feel, depends on our self-awareness. Perhaps, at a certain moment, we cannot help ourselves. Then he couldn't help but forget everything and continue living, but Zeng asked himself, is all this true?
      So Woody Allen, an old man, did an experiment with video in 2001. A pair of men and women who are intolerant of water and fire, under the hypnotism of similar monsters, turned out to be uncharacteristic, like...

      I finally know that I'm going to fall asleep watching Little Woody's film, although I'm good at telling stories, writing scripts, and witty about life, but it's shallow, what? Shallow! Woody is a poet who criticizes American society!! Well, but it's just Criticize and complain about life...speak out his inner thoughts, and sex desire, nothing more.....Let every pretty heroine say that he likes his bad appearance, least sex...

      Hypnosis, subconsciousness, what a mysterious and interesting topic. Woody Allen's humor is astoundingly sophisticated. The tit-for-tat confrontation between the two old enemies is every word of the word, and the level of lines can be said to be the pinnacle. What is witty? This movie is all about it. Besides, there is the unforgettable South African diamond Charlize Theron....

    Evaluation action

    "The Curse of the Jade Scorpion" is a comedy full of black humor, in which the chattering and nervous investigator played by Woody Allen is quite bright, and Helen Hunt, who plays with him, is not inferior. The two The singing and harmony of the whole film constitute a comedic effect with constant jokes. Charlize Theron has changed his sexy style and appeared in front of the audience with a relaxed and funny image. Under the leadership...
