A black-and-white romantic comedy written, directed and acted by Woody Allen, a middle-aged man who pretends to be a literary man is satirized. After the trivial chatter at the beginning, it gradually gets better, and at the end, there is a smile, Woody Allen is really a female friend. A 40-year-old wretched middle-aged literary man, his marriage and private life are in a mess, but he feels good about himself, and he deals with women like a lover all day long. It is gratifying that the women finally opened their eyes wisely, leaving such a selfish and unaware giant baby straight man to dance alone on the broad stage of life to enjoy himself. Aunt Mei's scenes are really eye-catching, and the description of her ex-husband in the book "Marriage, Divorce and Self-Awareness", which describes the marriage experience, is really accurate and hilarious, quite representative: "He would suddenly lose control of himself, Becomes furious, showing liberal Jewish delusions, machismo, self-righteous cynicism, and nihilistic desperation. He's always complaining about life but can't come up with any solution. He aspires to be an artist, but can't walk around In his most private moments, he would speak of the fear of death. He would elevate it to tragic heights when, in reality, it was just a manifestation of his narcissism." The man experienced several times Emotional baptism, I finally realized that the days with silly Baitian's little lover are the most comfortable and suitable. When trying to turn around to keep the little girl, I was afraid that the girl would be deceived by the man's rhetoric. Fortunately, the girl held on strong. . That's right girl, you're still young, go play and have fun, and find ten or eight scumbags. Life is life, and movies are still movies. Woody Allen's emotional grasp between men and women and his thorough understanding of marriage are really very clear, and the interpretation is very wonderful. Women should take a good look at this movie to avoid meeting such a person; men should watch this movie carefully to avoid the possibility of becoming such a person. Because this is Woody Allen's least favorite film of his own, and he is extremely disgusted with his performance in the film.

Manhattan quotes

  • Yale: You know we have to stop seeing each other, don't you.

    Mary Wilke: Oh, yeah. Right. Right. I understand. I could tell by the sound of your voice on the phone. Very authoritative, y'know. Like the pope, or the computer in 2001.

  • Isaac Davis: You know what you are? You're God's answer to Job, y'know? You would have ended all argument between them. I mean, He would have pointed to you and said, y'know, "I do a lot of terrible things, but I can still make one of these." You know? And then Job would have said, "Eh. Yeah, well, you win."
