That's what life is all about.
People are afraid to face the reality that so many things in life depend purely on luck.
It's scary to think about so many things you can't control.
In tennis, there is a situation called wiping the net.
At that moment, the ball may cross the net or bounce back.
If you are lucky, you win if you cross the net, and you lose if you don't.
Although the narration at the beginning of the film is soft and indifferent, when the little white-faced Chris brewed up this theory, he should have been quite complacent - I am not the lucky one, the master who sees through the essence of life, the one who is best at scratching Tennis guy!
Chris is a child of a poor family, but yearns for the high society who is drunk with money. This is not a bad thing, young people are a little ambitious.
For the sake of his ideals, he approached the daughter of a wealthy family, told lies and tricks to marry himself into a wealthy family. Although it was hypocritical and dirty, it was understandable. After all, he also sacrificed his color, and he had to deal with the hysterical wife Chloe who wanted children and wanted to be crazy to ask him for seeds. There is always a price to pay for living a rich life. At this time, he has achieved a staged victory and realized his ideal.
But all of this turned him into a depressed man at the same time, and it was reasonable for a depressed man to take care of a beautiful blonde third-rate actor. Of course, Woody Allen will not let him enjoy the blessings of everyone. The mistress is pregnant, causing trouble, forcing marriage, and troubles follow. So he planned a murder on the blond little beauty. He stole a long bear hunting gun from his father-in-law, shot his mistress's hapless landlady to death, stole the old lady's prescription drugs and jewelry, pretended to be the scene of the drug dealer's robbery and murder, and then squatted and waited nervously. , when the blond hair that was full of desire and brought him endless trouble shook out of the elevator, he called her name softly: "Nola..." At the moment when she looked back, he pulled the trigger, and this greedy and greedy Naive woman.
When Chris threw all the landlady's jewelry and medicine into the Thames, the match point appeared. The last ring hit the guardrail, bounced, and landed on the bank, just like the moment when a tennis ball rubbed the net.
Woody Allen has played a very unjust trick here. Instead of letting Chris lose everything for the loot that failed to cross the net, he dramatically made it a reason for Chris's guilt: this ring Found on the body of a drug addict with a criminal record. A dead man took the blame for Chris.
What a coincidence, isn't it? Otherwise, what is the title of the film called Match Point?
We still thank Woody Allen for putting luck on Chris's side, because this kid is a particularly heart-wrenching badass like the classic evil Mr. Ripley, though this dangerous beast never stops from beginning to end. spit bad water, endlessly unleashing all kinds of small tricks and big conspiracies, and even shooting a pregnant woman in the back, but we can't help but hang our hearts on this scum, for fear that their small tricks and big conspiracies will tremble. Exposed stuffing.
At the same time, let us speculate on the following reasons for Woody Allen's arrangement. Looking back on Woody Allen's life, there were many women who were hiding behind the scenes. Maybe he also had the experience of being forced to marry by a woman, and he was embarrassed there. Embarrassed and stretched thin, he used murderous intent.
