satire trilogy

After reading "Love in Rome", I always feel familiar, and then think about the first two. Oops, is this a big chess game?

"Midnight in Barcelona" satirizes love.
Seemingly sane, Vicky thought she was loyal to her fiancé, but in the end she was attracted to Juan, rolled off the sheets and remembered it afterward. And when Christina and Juan were together, she confidently expressed that true love can be shared, and that being in the same room with his ex-wife was to achieve a balance of emotional needs. But in the end, the woman went crazy and fired a shot, which scared her away.
At the beginning of love, all the sunflower-like sunshine and rain, when temptation and trials came, turned into an ugly Van Gogh with missing ears. And those so-called loyalties are just an illusion before you meet the right cheating partner.
"Midnight in Paris" satirizes the middle class.
When Gill describes his midnight adventure, no one thinks he's more of a romantic fool than his fiancée Inez. When he was talking about a painting in the museum, his wife said no, you have to shut up and listen to the university professor. And when he stole the earrings from his fiancée, the family must have stolen it from a poor waiter who had never seen the world. He's going to write a novel, but his middle-class fiancée and father-in-law think, stop dreaming about the golden age, you should keep writing high-paying Hollywood scripts, and you should be listening to art critics in museums , and then nodded vigorously as if suddenly realized.
In short, you have to learn the three magic weapons of our middle class: money, status and arty.

"Love in Rome" satirizes more people.
Antonio and Millie, a young couple from a small town, want to gain a foothold in a big city with good imagination. Antonio attends a high society party and doesn't know what to do, while the elites are busy greeting prostitutes to make time. The movie star Millie dreamed of seeing, under the covers, to hear what she thought of him. The two came to the big city for a special honeymoon, one with a prostitute and one with a burglar. After knowing how powerful the people in the city are, the two want to pack up and go home, have a baby to live, and never come back.
Our expectations and fantasies about things often come from its unknown. And when it becomes reality in front of you, you are mostly disappointed, but a little unwilling. Some people are a little more disappointed, retreat and choose to return to the familiar small world; some people are not reconciled, go upstream, and choose to continue to struggle.
It goes without saying that the elites are sanctimonious, and it is probably their most humble and real moment to wait in line for an appointment in front of Anna.
The little clerk Leopoldo became a star inexplicably. His daily task was to be interviewed and to make it clear. But he was so distressed that he didn't understand the meaning of all this, and he didn't even have privacy anymore. He wanted to be an ordinary person. It's alright, no problem, we'll be held by another person, and no one will care about your life or death. The price is that no one invites you to watch a movie, and no one cares when you walk on the street. He can't accept it, well, since you don't ask, then I will take it off for you to see, I am wearing boxer underwear today! But the feng shui turns, and now even if you take off your clothes and take a knife, you are just a lunatic who is ridiculed by everyone in the tofu news.
Those stars who have no real ability and only rely on brain powder and exposure to get the limelight are just benefiting from a short stay in the spotlight. But the spotlight doesn't recognize people. Today, I will let you sit in first class, and tomorrow the wind will turn. Go home and farm. However, the cruel thing is, how can someone who has eaten shark fin turn over the fishbone in the trash can of the kitchen.
Monica, the best friend of architect John's girlfriend, is coming to play. Girlfriend said that Monica is cute, maybe John will fall in love with her. But John didn't believe that, no matter how ecstatic she was, he would never be tempted. But after getting along, he discovered that she was so adventurous, so otherworldly, and familiar with all the literary works I mentioned, such a different woman, how could he not fall in love with her? Break up with your girlfriend decisively! As a result, before there was time for a showdown, the director called, and the perfect goddess was going to fly back to Hollywood to become a star. Therefore, acting is her favorite. Who knows which one she has acted during this time.
This story tells us two truths: Loyalty is shit, and goddesses are shit.

I have not studied Woody Allen and his works in depth, and I have only watched these three films, but I intuitively feel that he is reluctant to use the language of the camera to narrate, and he uses the dialogue of the characters to complete the portrayal of the characters themselves. At one point I thought he could claim a Guinness World Record for the amount of words in his films. Of course, to satirize a person, a lot of dialogue may be necessary, because the more words, the more exposed.
