Listening to Woody Allen's Storytelling in Paris
Jazmin 2022-04-20 09:02:00
Paris in the play is a treasure, and the old man is also a god. Although his mouth is full of black humor, he can't seem to say no, but it also guides the characters as if they have found their correct and mysterious track. That's right, this chatty, arrogant, paranoid, kind, and fantastic old man is like Woody Allen behind the camera and behind the black-framed mirror, the epitome of him 30 years ago. But this time, he didn't jump out and continue to direct and act, in his own words: "Larry has his own very unique connotation, and I don't know how to express his characteristics. He is sarcastic, mocking, sarcastic. A little neurotic, and a little sour feeling of a little intellectual. In short, this quality is what I need most, and it is also in line with the needs of the film. His sense of humor and understanding are very good. I can't do it, I'm more dependent on fantasies than he is. Some people say I'm crazy, and that's absolutely true. I might put the film in a pot as a plant, and I might make my coffee with cold water, Larry's not. So I used him as the protagonist." I can't resist black humor and some ridicule, agreeing with their rebelliousness and correctness; the other half of myself is worried that they will bias my values, but the world is so big, As long as it doesn't hurt, as BORIS said, anything is fine.

It was boring a bit at the beginning, but it was really joyful later. Although this film is an old book, it can still be regarded as a continuation and variation of the theme of "Midnight Barcelona", and it is intensively complaining. Of course, the reflexiveness of this film is very important, the so-called "breaking the fourth wall". This film can win the "noble prize best picture", haha. If my first Woody Allen watched this one, I would love it to death...

Marietta: I'm livin' with two guys.
John: - girl scout Mom. Your-your what?
Marietta: I'm an artist. I-I-I don't bake pies. I don't go to church. I-I-I do collages, sculptures, photography. I live in Manhattan with two men who I Love - in a very happy ménage à trois.
John: A what?
Marietta: We all sleep together. A ménage à trois.
John: I knew we should never trust the goddamn French.
