Truly a masterpiece

As for Woody Allen, I really only heard his name, but never saw his work, and never saw what a master work would look like. But after Match Point, I have to sigh: A master is a master, and although the difference from ordinary people is only in the details, it is not an exaggeration to say that the difference is a thousand miles away.
What is the harshest punishment for a person, or, more precisely, a murderer? From the moment Wilton's still-out ring doesn't fly into the Thames, I think it's: he'll be brought to justice eventually, which makes sense, but it's a cliché, which doesn't make the film in I was under the impression of a minus point, but I didn't talk about what would have made this film special, except that he was a master.
But in the end, the master did not get a false name. In fact, for a person with a soul, the biggest punishment is not in the body, but in the depths of the soul. In the face of the so-called happy son and family happiness, Wilton is the most important punishment. Melancholy, gloomy, guilty, powerless, guilt-ridden, anxious all day long, what awaits him will be a lifetime of inner torment. As long as he remains sensible for a day, the sins he bears will not make him detached.
Wilton, he has won the envy of the material world, but in the cleansing of the soul, he will never be exalted.

    Chloe Hewett Wilton: Well, I don't believe in luck. I believe in hard work.

    Christopher "Chris" Wilton: Oh, hard work is mandatory, but, I think everybody's afraid to admit what a big part luck plays. I mean, it seems scientists are - confirming more and more that all existence is here by blind chance. No purpose, no design.

  • Tom Hewett: What was it the the vicar used to say? "Despair is the path of least resistance." It was something odd, wasn't it? It was very strange.

    Christopher "Chris" Wilton: I think that faith is the path of least resistance.

    Tom Hewett: Oh, God.

    Chloe Hewett Wilton: Oh, God! Can we change the subject, please?
