because Shen Jin chatted while watching, so that a movie that would have been fast-forwarded was slowly finished second by second. Because I watched it while chatting, don’t be too demanding if you don’t remember the plot accurately: the general story is that a magician with a much lower emotional quotient than an IQ falls in love with a female liar whose face is far better than his inner meaning. Fortunately, the process is not straightforward, there is a turning point, that is, the transition from a hostile relationship to a loving relationship. The layout of the lines is very traditional—on the one hand, there is a rational confrontation, that is, the magician wants to expose the strong-purpose behavior of the female liar; When the rational purpose finally tore the relationship between the two on the surface, the emotional bond firmly tied the two together.
Therefore, Woody Allen came to the conclusion that work is work, life is life, and feelings can be successfully completed even among rational enemies, as long as you have a good figure, a beautiful face, and a soft personality that can melt one The cold heart of an intelligent businessman, then all you need is to wait for him to confess to you.
In this way, in fact, the story has no meaningful theme, because the goal line of the protagonist is already clear, that is, the absolute master of animal nature, no matter what the appeal of reason. Values are also lost in the explicit consciousness to the implicit subconscious. So, what is a man? Even if you can do magic, you can tell right and wrong, but in the end, when you can tell right from wrong, you still choose the most beautiful one.
What is the truth revealed by the greatest manifestation of the need for reproduction in the issue of face? Perhaps the most genuine contempt for women by men! Why do you say that? Just think, is it easier to shape moral values and moral behavior or to change faces? Genetic difficulty of morality or genetic difficulty of face? I think the answer is self-evident. For a solid masculinist, in the search for a mate, he doesn't care at all about a woman's social attributes, no matter how bad in rational values, as long as she is genetically good. Because any other social attributes can be changed by a strong male - you used to be a liar, now you can no longer be, you used to cheat money, now you can not cheat, I will support you. So all social crimes and punishments are completed at the flick of a finger of a powerful man. The rest is to keep your female face obediently young, waiting for the male to enjoy it, and the inheritance of the next offspring.
At the same time, women also see through men's indifference to sociality, so they become more and more arrogant. On the one hand, literary men beautify some of their not-so-good virtues into personalities for them, and on the other hand, there will always be a donor who will pay for her face and pay all the debts that should be repaid. I don't know if this is a spontaneous problem of women, or a derivative of a male-dominated society. But this is definitely a problem.
In the end, Woody Allen did not answer the other two questions:
1. What kind of people does this woman like? If you are so shrewd, will there be a time when you will have a heart for the little handsome guy? What does she like? Is she just a chosen one? Passively being chosen and pursued by men in being revealed and hidden?
2. Did this woman give her life under the coercion of that inferior magician? The dirty idea is that once exposed, the female liar will face imprisonment for several years. Under these conditions, the magician's bargaining power is too strong, and it would be a pity to let her go. After all, this second-rate magician is a person who is greedy for fame and fortune. It is really hard to convince the public that he is not lustful. Moreover, it is the usual insurance style of bad people to engage in sexual intercourse before doing bad things.
As shown in the picture, the male lead is wearing a hat, but maybe it should be green.
