"Anything Goes" is a comedy that returns to New York on Woody's European creative path. The script, written in the 1970s, is about a pessimistic, failed physics professor living with a young girl. The movie is still the chattering pessimism in "Annie Hall", it is still the way in "Annie Hall" to break the fourth wall and talk directly to the audience, and it is still "Annie Hall" in which the hero is the heroine. Mentor, let the heroine grow up, and then the heroine leaves the story. This is completely the old version of "Annie Hall" upgraded with sarcasm, and you can even find that Woody turned the big lobster joke in "Annie Hall" into a crayfish pie!
Woody repeatedly states that the universe doesn't make sense, art doesn't make sense, politics doesn't make sense, work doesn't make sense, sports don't make sense, and everything doesn't make any fucking sense, but it's the best you can choose. In this cold, violent, incomprehensible universe where luck randomly rules everything, just live in the moment and enjoy it. So the physics professor finally fell in love with the fortune teller. Quantum physics is no different from astrology. In the face of the universe that is about to be destroyed, both are products that will eventually be destroyed and short-lived.
It is worth mentioning that this film is still worth watching. The selling point is the endless sarcasm and sarcasm, which are all excellent.
