The protagonist of "Anything" is an old man, probably about the same age as Woody Allen, plus the strong use of the separation effect in the film, it is suspicious that this is the director's statement, similar to Kurosawa's summary of him in "Dream" A lifetime of artistic experience and views of the world, but when the blonde beauty jumps out of the corner, she knows that Woody is still playing his old tricks. This is just a mild satire.
The American writer Isaac Singer once wrote an excellent short story that is not abusive, called "Spinoza on Market Street". The old philosopher, in a miserable situation, poor and sick, but after marrying with an old virgin, he tasted the joy of life. The next morning after the wedding, the old doctor felt healed from his illness and felt refreshed. Although the old doctor and Boris in the film are both philosophers, they are at two extremes. The old doctor has no knowledge of the world, and Boris has an insight into human sentiment; the old doctor is not close to female sex, Boris The peach color is constant; the old doctor is the outcast of life, and Boris is the darling of fate; the old doctor has been suffering for many years, and his life only has a bright color in the years of decay, but Boris’s problem starts with "life is perfect and spiritually comfortable". If the old doctor is Spinoza on Market Street, Boris is Diogenes on Mott Street.
The Borbesman is a Kochi in Kochi and almost won the Nobel Prize in Physics. His wife is a rich daughter and his son is studying at Yale. For ordinary people, having such an occasion in their lives will be happy to wake up from a dream. Boris is not an ordinary person. He claims: I am a person with a grand world view, but around me are a group of microbes; his view of the United States is: shameful, violent, prejudiced, ignorant, sexually repressive, self-righteous s country. So he gave birth to a philosophy of "Anything is OK", as long as it doesn't hurt others, the rest will do. This is unavoidably reminiscent of French existential philosophy. The two most frequently said words of Morsault, the protagonist of Camus's novel The Outsider, are "anything is fine" and "there is no way out". The existentialist is Seeing the absurdity of this world and the futility of people's resistance to absurdity, I advocated a philosophy of action without hope. But Boris did not have such a high level. He saw people's stupidity, narrowness, ignorance and incompetence, and the irrationality of the world, but he did not become ashamed and indifferent, but actively changed his life style, eagerly picky and mean. The country, society and even his chess students have nothing to do and do nothing. He practiced his philosophy, jumped off the building, divorced, moved, took in the blonde beauty, married and divorced the blonde beauty, then jumped off the building, and found a new woman. It seemed that he wanted to taste everything in life. This philosopher is quite into the world.
Why is the blonde Melody willing to marry an old man? It is because this old man has exposed her to the vast world that she has never been in contact with before. The old man is very knowledgeable and understands the changes between the world and the present. He has insightful insights. He often pierces all kinds of lies and illusions right away. Together, it seemed that every brain cell of her had been consecrated. Those who are near Zhu are red, those who are near ink are black, and those who are near bigger are bigger, no doubt Melody's vision has been expanded infinitely by Boris. Inchworms and worms are creatures with a very small world and a very narrow vision. This is how Boris taught Melody to look at the world. The old man raised her eyes to the clouds, looking down on all living beings like a god, and despising all the human beings. . After her vision was greatly expanded, Melody saw her peers as if she saw a group of worms, and she felt superiority spontaneously. In her eyes, those ignorant young people who can only have fun are really summer worms. Yubing and Mayfly do not know the four seasons. There are successors to Boris' philosophy.
Melody's parents came to Boris' hut, and they were full of sitcoms. As usual, Boris ridiculed them all, and consciously or unconsciously contributed to their change. In a big city like New York, the story of sex and city is being staged every day. In this city of desire, no one can be spared. Two old-fashioned people from relatively closed states and counties have also experienced a major change in worldview. The world has also been magnified. Melody’s mother devoted herself to the photography art world and led a threesome life. Melody’s father finally came out and had a sweet relationship with her boyfriend. The irony is that the liberation of the minds of these two elderly people is triggered by sexual liberation. The mean Boris wants to destroy all false and serious, so that people who have been depressed for many years can find their own sexual blessings. Boris's philosophical merits Immeasurable.
Boris's philosophy of being free and easy, open-minded, free of taboos, and liberating the body and mind has also been challenged. For a person like him, the most mediocre plot still happens around him. His excellent student and wife Melody cheated. At the beginning, Melody was able to reject secular temptations and keep the hitters thousands of miles away. However, the so-called fierce girl is afraid of stalkers. She met James, a handsome actor. When getting along with James, everything Boris taught could not resist the natural attraction of young men and women. Melody used entropy theory to discuss the relationship with James. Kissing feelings, and then talking about Heisenberg's uncertainty theory, all these advanced terms of physics are inexhaustible flames of passion, the two naturally went to bed. During the period, Melody mentioned that she had brought Viagra. Obviously, this young man would not need it like the old Boris. Facts have proved that a lot of mysterious theories are no better than a young body. Boris was calm, letting Melody and James join together. This was in line with his usual philosophy of life, and he could do anything. However, soon he jumped off the building for the second time. His two jumps were basically related to his woman's derailment. Boris still didn't break through the emptiness and couldn't break away from all fetters like a Chinese philosopher.
After jumping off the building for the second time, Boris hit his successor girlfriend, a beautiful female psychic. Psychic belongs to the mysterious realm outside of knowledge and cannot be reached by reason. Boris can no longer use his knowledge to challenge his new girlfriend. Put away Arrogant and arrogant, he and the psychic girl seem to get along quite happily. The film has a happy ending. Everyone gets what they deserve. Although the Nobel Prize in Physics is supreme and noble, the secular life of the inchworm also has its value and fun. In short, the world is peaceful. In the end, the sarcasm's summary speech was gentle and honest. Woody Allen cast a wink and coquettishly after damaging everyone on and off the screen.
