character psychology

Allen's films tell very ordinary stories, ordinary people, ordinary backgrounds, ordinary stories. This kind of story happens all the time around us, but what we usually see is the appearance, and he dissects these stories and the psychology of the characters who experience the story horizontally, and digs out the relationship and game between them.

The hearts of these characters based on ordinary stories can always involve my mood. Because sometimes, I also have such entanglements, such emotions.

I like the line that the hero said, "I think surrendering to the gods is the only way to surrender." Because this was an idea that I also had in my formative years.

There is also the part where the male protagonist and his friend are revealing their hearts. He explains his ambivalence for coveting Nora's body and his inability to abandon his rich wife because of her: This is the difference between love and desire. I certainly hope that the person I am willing to lie beside him is the one who can give me a future and a prosperous life. But the people who were arranged by God to give me physical satisfaction and a rich life are two different people. I am not strong enough to give myself a rich life, nor strong enough to follow love without any scruples. God always makes such a joke, I can only choose one. I'm sorry, I can't eat the wind and drink the dew, and I have the love to drink water. I also have the little vanity of a girl. I am afraid of being compared, and I am worried about how others will see my fate. I also yearn for exquisite food, decent clothes, and living. A life that is spacious and able to travel the world. So, to live up to our love and to be burdened with guilt, in order to live easier and more dignified, we choose the one who provides us with an abundant life. At the end of the story, the little tension that the male protagonist was almost discovered is just a metaphor for someone who has gone against love and chosen money status in life. Killing your love with your own hands, that kind of guilt, that kind of guilt, is like killing your lover and children with your own hands.

Those who have been betrayed will always be relieved one day, and the feelings that have been betrayed will always disappear one day. Only those who betrayed their love will always bear the sin of the killer, their hands are stained with the blood of their lover, and they will smile in the daytime, but in the night there is no one. In the darkness of knowing, I endure the corruption of my heart alone.
