All these years...still in love with old Woody

Just watched the German version of TRWL in the cinema in Munich.

I have to admit, I was a little overwhelmed by the lively Roman street scene and fragmented plot at first. But soon, inadvertently, the theme of the film is slowly emerging. Following several protagonists, we have a love adventure and romantic roaming in Rome. . .

Compared with the linear narrative of "Midnight in Paris", "Love in Rome" uses a multi-line parallel narrative method. This naturally gives the film a little more elegant style of European-style literary films. As far as personal perception is concerned, the structure of the film is better than that of "Midnight in Paris", and all the small stories that happened end up pointing to one place, which is confusing.

It is no exaggeration to say that Woody has the blood of predecessors in the film industry, such as Antonioni, Fellini, and Ingmar Bergman. Hehe, those of you who have seen the following films know what I mean by this sentence:
"Wild Strawberry" (Smultronstället, 1957)
"La Dolce Vita" (1960)
"Affair" (L'Avventura, 1960) at

the end Here are a few conceivable comedy themes that recur in W. Allen's films:
1. What kind of women do men like best?
A woman with self-destructive tendencies, referred to as "Kamakazi Girl" (Kamikaze Girl). Main characteristics: Casual, personal career frustration, chaos in life. Rather than falling into a vortex of love, most of them will end in a heroic Greek tragedy, but most of the male compatriots will know and commit the crime

. 2. How to define art?
If someone runs up to Carnegie Hall to spit, you'll find someone who calls it "art"
