I'd rather be lucky than good

The earliest I know of Woody Allen is from Huang Shujun's "Change 1995",
"I still didn't go to Ireland, but went to New York.
I didn't perform with u2, but I saw Woody Allen walking on 45th Street"
For some people's films, I always feel that it is necessary to Encountering them at the right time
just heard that Woody Allen is good at grasping the state of life in the city.
On a strange Friday night, I watched his film for the first time.

My favorite line is the opening paragraph:
The man who said, "I'd rather be lucky than good." saw deeply into life. People are afraid to face how great a part of life is dependent on luck. It's scary to think so much is out of one's control. There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net, and for a split second it can either go forward or fall back. With a little luck, if goes forward and you win. Or maybe if doesn't; and you lose. And

then he explains the passage with the clichéd tale of a man wrestling between two women.

So you come to a superficial conclusion that in this world, men are unreliable, and the reliable is luck.

The cover of the DVD reads: A marvelously sexy thriller.
Please, from the perspective of the male and female protagonists, sexy I admit, but what is this thriller?

Students who like opera can watch this movie. The soundtrack in it uses a lot of operas, and there are many scenes of watching operas in the theater. Are you trying to highlight how dramatic it is? I have no idea.

The scene where the hero throws the ring at the end is quite dramatic, maybe that's the match point. In slow motion, the ring was not thrown into the lake, but slowly fell to the ground, so a person's fate was changed. The lovely uncle detective is really dedicated. Dreaming is all about solving cases. Everything he said is right, but so what?

So the ending was really unexpected, when grandpa said that kid can do whatever he wants in the future, uncle said: "Do you know what, I don't care if he's great. I just hope he is lucky." Then the camera turns to Dad, hehe, he knows this sentence best.

Well, what exactly is LUCK?
Dear Socrates, please tell me.

    Half an old-fashioned romance film + half Hitchcock, the first half was sleepy, and the last half hour broke out in a cold sweat. So if Mycroft ping pong beats Nora, the movie ends early (emphasis is skewed)

Match Point quotes

  • Nola Rice: I'd better bring a different change of clothes. I don't think your mother appreciated what I brought last time.

    Tom Hewett: I think that was your swimsuit. She's just used to slightly more fabric.

  • Christopher "Chris" Wilton: I think it's important to be lucky in anything.

    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.
