Different from "The Hangover" in almost the same period, Comrade Woody has always insisted on being intellectuals. You will not laugh, but more knowingly. The scene is in New York's Chinatown, and everyone knows it's New York, but the Chinese signs in the background and the bustling compatriots make you feel that the comrade's return is also a joke. He and the so-called mainstream New York is goodbye. In fact, the script was also written in the 1970s, with some modern elements added. The next film is back in the UK.
The topics in the play are actually very heavy: death, religion, marriage, destiny and the meaning of life. But the process of watching the film is very easy, and it should not be an exaggeration to describe it as light weight.
In fact, this film is more likely to be made into a tragedy. "Ellergy" can be used as a comparison. It also has a year-long love, and it also discusses the impermanence of death and life. The protagonists are all intellectuals. But Woody is presumably trying to prove that life's impermanence can turn tragedy into comedy. The protagonist, Boris, is a 60-something, ex-physicist, pretentious, hysterical, and mean. Although, most of the time what he said was true, but it was just uncomfortable. It is typical of smelly and hard. He's right at all times, but when he's been right all his life suddenly feels that a decision that is right in everything is wrong: his marriage, for example. "Good match" itself is what he wants to oppose. "I'm marrying you for the wrong reasons. You're smart and I need to talk to people. You love classical music, you love art, literature, you love me," he said. "It's all right on paper, but life isn't. On paper!" He probably felt that this idea should be self-determined with the people, so he jumped off the building. But if you don't say that life is unhappy, nine times out of ten, if you don't die, you will be disabled.
For a person who can't get along with all human beings, only the most beautiful, fresh, pure, sunny, and a beautiful girl with a weak brain can save him. This is where the story begins to spark. Some people say that intelligence is the greatest charm of men, so male teachers in colleges always have a bunch of female students as fans. However, in this film, I think it is purely a fairy coming down to earth. Seeing such a down-and-out old man, his heart is full of compassion, and in the spirit of sacrifice that no one will go to hell if I don't go to hell, he heroically dedicates himself. How can you be happy if you follow a person who doesn't like everything, and who says everything you say? From beginning to end, we can't see Boris's love for the little fairy, only need and dependence. The little fairy likes him is no different from liking children. Both need to be taken care of, and both require great patience and tolerance. That is not love, but sympathy. What I have always been curious about is: The heroines of Woody in the movie are all blond and blue-eyed, why did they end up almost ruined for a Korean sister who had never had plastic surgery?
Fortunately, Woody did not let the heroine in the film devote herself to the end, but only brought out her pair of precious parents. If it is said that the transformation of the little fairy is from ignorance and illusory maturity to realistic rationality, her parents have witnessed that the most free and glorious growth of human nature is the repressed rationality to wanton madness.
Happiness or not, sometimes in a single thought, sometimes it is fate, and sometimes it is necessary to try it by yourself. In short, whatever you want will do. The key is to be happy.
