Seeing the micro-knowledge and making my heart throbbing

Five-star movies are accustomed to those with lofty themes, broad feelings or distinctive styles. Although "The End of the Game" does not belong to this category, it is very memorable. Woody Allen put away the petty bourgeoisie ramble, and actually played a classical narrative, telling an ordinary or even old-fashioned extramarital affair story, but he could play it so well, so smooth, so exciting, and so pleasing to the eye , so convincing.

The key word of the whole film is a seemingly insignificant theme: luck. The story also has no petty bourgeoisie or epic quality, very traditional drama. Scarlett Johansson is the best candidate for the role in the film. She is the first person to be a sexy goddess without exotic flavor. The actor Jonathan Meyers can be described as a version of Jude Law's desire, and his face is also full of desire. hint. With these two people playing the two protagonists of an affair, the audience can't help but jump out of the moral judgment, and be concerned about the convincing and deadly desire. The filming technique is so perfect that as soon as the two meet, the audience knows that there will be endless stories, even if it takes a long time for them to hook up. The extremely classic "We can't do this." "I know." can't help but make people smile.


The rhythm and atmosphere of the subsequent film continued to tighten, making this extramarital affair extraordinarily worrying. The sultry sense of relaxation at the beginning gradually disappeared, which was unexpected at the beginning, although the scene of the actor watching "Crime and Punishment" already hinted at the direction of the plot. The process was so skillful and natural that by the time the orgasm broke out, my palms were sweaty, and I didn't recover. The use of opera as background music in the most tense moments is even more soothing (although "The Godfather 3" has already used it). It turns out that Woody Allen can still make such a tense crime movie, especially with the Woody Allen label, which makes the unexpected effect icing on the cake.

However, this film is not satisfied with a tense and suspenseful story. The ending of the whole film and the flick of the ring on the railing at the end of the film echo the beginning and point again: luck. This seemingly innocuous subject (without discussing the condemnation of "Crime and Punishment" or anything like that) is actually so important to us. This delicate relationship is highly unified with the style of this film, and the drama and practical significance are equally outstanding, but the process is quietly and subtle, which is breathtaking.

    At first glance, I was disgusted, but as time passed, I slowly left it in my mind as a classic.
