Let’s talk about everyday life as usual.
Intensive class talks about anticlimax, a rhetorical device which can be defined as a disappointing situation or a sudden transition in discourse from an important idea to a trivial one. It is when at a specific point, expectations are raised, everything is built-up and then suddenly something boring or disappointing happens. Take Woody Allen as an example, "Not only is there no God, but try getting a plumber on weekends."
In the book I read, "'I don't believe that there is life after death, but I always bring a change of underwear with me just in case.' American actor, editor and author Woody Allen vividly portrays this sentence The modern attitude towards 'immortality': on the one hand, most of us know that there is no chance of life after death; on the other hand, we do not want to fully accept this reality."
In fact, it is also an anticlimax.
Today I picked "Love in Rome". The first time it wasn't New York, the first time it wasn't Diane as the heroine, the first time Woody wasn't the protagonist himself, and I really felt a big difference. The four stories are unrelated, but each relationship is fascinating.
Monica and Jack, remember what sy said: "Do you know why many high-quality boys are chasing a green tea bitch? It's definitely not because of the green tea bitch's good looks, but because the green tea bitch doesn't see those boys as boys." Everyone Knowing that Sally is a good girl, so does Jack, but he's still at a loss for Monica. John, this ghostly existence reminds me of Woody's occasional self-talk to the camera in "Annie Hall" before. It's very weird, but it's very spiritual.
Hayley and Michelangelo, the love in travel is really wonderful, I can't think of any other words except fate and fate. Maybe there are urban qualities. For example, the blind date corner in People's Park. Giancarlo, everyone is carrying an invisible box. Jerry, cherish and compromise. The father-son and father-daughter relationship is actually quite interesting.
Leopoldo, one of the saddest characters.
Milly and Antonio, very real. No one thinks it is so beautiful. A pure country girl can't resist the temptation of the city. The upper class in the city is all on a prostitute's namelist. But the final outcome is very realistic, not so much inquiries, not so much entanglement. Those who are misplaced will return to their place, and the days will have to pass.
Reminds me of my days in Rome.
In front of those ruins, Julius Caesar rose into the sky and shed thousands of afterglow.
