Master's work, lack of talent.

Woody Allen's 2014 work, compared to others, is not too surprising, but it can still be seen as a master work, the euphemism of the narrative, but there are also disappointments. First, even if the protagonist believes that the psychic is fake, the audience still can't believe it, so I infer that his friend is also an accomplice, which makes me a little disappointed to see the result. At the end of the second point, from the framing of the camera Knowing that the heroine is about to appear, the ending I guessed by the audience was finally confirmed. What I felt was not how unique my opinion was, but that the director's thinking was a little limited, and maybe he didn't have any ideas for this movie. A good idea. But what makes the film’s style akin to Midnight Paris is the beautiful framing, the slow rhythm, the hilarious soundtrack, and the suave actors. The whole movie is very delicate, not rigid, this is the mature narrative style of a master. It is as mellow as wine, slowly penetrates into the body and flows out of the body, feeling a kind of warmth in the heart.

It was a magical magic of the 1920s (it didn't), and then when Colin Firth stepped off the stage, the little old man was possessed and turned on the nagging mode, and I laughed. The struggle between reason and emotion, and the unexplainable flash of light, not only exposes the liar, but also affirms the existence of a marginal world outside of rational cognition. The British gentleman's elegant taste and stubborn conceit are rare from American directors. The stone is also so beautiful, with a fairy halo!

We live in this pessimistic world, do we need lies to keep us going? Some people are happy only to be deceived by others, but if they are exposed, will they really be happier?

Howard Burkan: [about Olivia] What a lovely, *rational* human being. I should look her up. She's bright, pretty, she likes magicians.
