Woody Allen's films are always full of typical American middle-class people with extremely good material conditions. However, when the middle-class encounters people who are full of economics but despair in their hearts, living a life of struggle and alienation from common values, it is probably will be irredeemably attracted at all costs.
Fame and public-approved success are so universal and vulgar; to play Russian roulette fearlessly and to rave about Sartre and Dostoevsky, professors rich in childhood scars and mysterious romances; Compared to a boyfriend with a wealthy family who will give the heroine a practical sweater, how deadly attractive it is.
But when this perfect professor was murdered to arouse the interest of life, the philosopher's self-centered thinking habit made this respectable and lovely professor move the idea of depriving others of life, everything changed. The professor insists that simply killing an unfair judge will make life easier for certain people, and therefore the world will be a better place. This thought makes the charming but depressed professor begin to pick up the zest of life and carry out what seems to be a well-planned murder plan.
But the girl student who had been fascinated before probably only loved his unruly and decadent side. Growing up in a decent family, she couldn't accept his unjust and desperate enthusiasm, which made the perfect professor want to kill again, and the girl student became The target of a new round of killings.
"The Unreasonable Man" reminds me of my physics teacher in my second year of high school. In class, he taught us to use extreme methods to analyze problems with a strong Cantonese accent. Running back and forth in a lap. Now think about what a pathetic creature human beings are, who can only improve their quality of life and life expectancy by constant exercise and self-torture, and euphemistically call it fitness and an active lifestyle.
Well, back to the topic.
In a universal environment where everyone is positive, "The Unreasonable" uses extreme methods to portray a decadent but learned philosophy professor, who was finally pushed to death by his extreme and incomprehensible attitude towards life.
The physics teacher that year told us that in an extreme vacuum environment, the acceleration of falling objects is constant and known. The Unreasonable taught me how absurd results can be from an attitude to life that ignores worldly values. Scientists have used rigorous experiments to prove the consequences of ignoring atmospheric resistance, and Woody Allen uses imagination and movies to tell us the consequences of extreme adherence to worldly values.
I can understand the former, the specific value of the acceleration is not difficult to remember. But I have been trying to find a balance between the latter and universal values, and I will probably be with me for a long time to look left and right in the state of sitting on the wall and the anxiety associated with it.
There seems to be no solution.
Nolan has a line in a movie saying that unemployed youths in their twenties are the easiest to imagine themselves as writers.
The sages and sages in ancient times were all lonely, and only the drinkers kept their names. Five-flowered horses, Qianjin Qiu, Hu'er grabbed them and exchanged them for fine wine.
I'm not a saint, just a young man who is always confused and doesn't know where to go but imagines himself to be a writer. And a confused man who is afraid he won't be able to call himself a young man anytime soon.
Maybe in the end I can only run like Forrest Gump or my physics teacher when I am confused.
