At that time, I didn’t understand. Most of the uncertainty in reading is a possibility, and most of the uncertainty after entering the society is impossibility, or restrictive. After undergraduate, graduate, and work in China, they came to New York alone. In the past few years, after experiencing uncertainty in work, life and relationships, it feels different to watch his movies again.
After resigning, I have rewatched almost all of Woody Allen's movies on and off in the small half year after resigning, with laughter and tears. The more I look at it, the more I feel that life is really cruel. Even if you have ten thousand choices, you can only choose one. There is also the phrase said by the male protagonist at the end of the game: people are unwilling to admit how much luck is an important part of life. And today Bobby’s uncle Phil in the Coffee Commune said Timing is everything in life. Seeing someone ask why Xiao K chose to marry Phil at the time, I think it is not only the material conditions that Phil can provide her and Bobby is so different, but also her own feelings for Phil have not been left, and she is still married to Zengshang. Phil’s "thinking but unavailable" obsession. In fact, if the above two conditions are taken out alone, k may not marry Phil, but it is normal to make this decision when they appear at the same time. When I saw Bobby goodbye, my feelings for Bobby were extended again. Coupled with the possibility of being tired of the life he has already acquired, Bobby has become the "think but can't get it."
Neither K nor Bobby appeared in each other's lives at the right Timing, but Bobby's wife did, so she is the relatively lucky one. From the beginning of the film, Phil faces the problem of falling in love with two people at the same time, to the lonely and helpless eyes of K and Bobby at the end. The problem is transferred, but the problem will always exist. What's interesting is Bobby's reaction when uncle tells Bobby that he doesn't know how to choose. I believe that each of us has had the experience of bystanders. When looking at the problem from the "God perspective", every story is plain and every choice is simple. Once the protagonist is replaced by himself, he can experience the entanglement and exhaustion.
When I walked out of Lincoln plaza cinemas after watching the movie today, I was glad that I didn't find the answer in the movie anymore. In fact, I did the same during the six months when I rewatched Woody Allen. Because I know a lot of things, such as Timing, I don’t know how to solve them, but I still have to thank the old man for taking pictures of these incomprehensions, let me know that I am not the only person who has similar troubles and confusion.
Most of Woody Allen's movies have open endings, not showing you the choice of the protagonists, but telling you that their lives are still going on. So since life goes on, we can only go with it.
Btw, like many movie-going friends, I feel that the old man is a lot more friendly, and I don't have the energy to ridicule the world. Woody Allen’s movie is still my favorite at Midnight Barcelona, and it’s not tiresome to watch it many times.
