Woody Allen's films have always been fond of the magic moonlight. It's so beautiful. Smart people tend to fall into pessimism because they think happiness is the result of fools and no brains. I am also an unbeliever and look down on those fools who have faith. I too There is no God who likes Nietzsche's nakedness. A person who is extremely sincere to himself deceives himself and will not make life better. This movie is for two extremes. Let the pessimistic and sober know how important fantasy is. Although life is bleak, there is always A reason for you to hug him If you can't feel the hug If he hasn't messed with your sanity then you have to change it

Stanley: The comparison makes me laugh! Olivia is a person of accomplishment and charm. Sophie's a street finagler who makes her way living off one bit of hokum to the next.
Aunt Vanessa: Well, I don't see how you can compare the two.
Stanley: Well, don't put ideas into my head!
Aunt Vanessa: Well, far be it from me!
Stanley: Of course, she does come from dire circumstances. I mean, it's very easy to be judgmental about people who are born into circumstances less fortunate than one's own.
Aunt Vanessa: Well, life is harsh. One must do what one must to survive.
Stanley: Well put. And people do sometimes make the wrong choices, which they regret, even though no serious harm was done.
Aunt Vanessa: Which of us has not made some blunders in life?
Stanley: And there is a rather appealing quality about Sophie. Despite her disgusting behaviour.
Aunt Vanessa: Yes, her smile is rather winning. Of course, it depends how much value you put on the purely physical.
Stanley: Well, no, I... I, for one, esteem the higher virtues.
Aunt Vanessa: Hmm... Beauty of the soul...
Stanley: Although her eyes are rather pleasant to look into. And that she can be amusing, under the right circumstances.
Aunt Vanessa: Oh, but Olivia is an educated, cultivated woman. One that befits a man of your artistic genius.
Stanley: Yes, now, my genius must be factored in. On paper, there's really no reason to prefer Sophie to Olivia.
Aunt Vanessa: Well, I would say the opposite.
Stanley: ...And so your, your suggestion that I, I be honest with Olivia and tell her that as irrational as it seems, I've fallen in love with, with Sophie - that's a preposterous notion.
Aunt Vanessa: It's lunacy.
Stanley: ...Yet I can't help feeling that...
Aunt Vanessa: ...That you love Sophie. Yes, I understand. You're puzzled and bewildered; because your foolish logic tells you that you should love Olivia.
Stanley: Foolish logic?
Aunt Vanessa: And yet, how little that logic means when placed next to Sophie's smile...
Stanley: What are you saying?
Aunt Vanessa: ...That the world may or may not be without purpose, but it's not totally without some kind of magic.
Stanley: ...I have irrational positive feelings for Sophie Baker. It's like witnessing a trick I can't figure out.
