Catherine made a wise decision to choose Woody Allen's movie as this Saturday Night Movie. The teacher mentioned Woody Allen many times in college film class, but most of the time I pay more attention to the screenwriter and the plot than the director, so when they talk about the old man, I can only listen, because I don't have any goods in my stomach. Ah, I don't know what to say. After being frustrated for a long time, I tentatively asked that "Midnight in Barcelona" seems to be the work of the old man, right?

There may be a type of women in life who, like the female students in the film, like melancholy, rational, and slightly decadent literary men. Women are so simple. When they like someone, they are charming when they see each other's behavior. And a little bit of decadence will stimulate the female heart of the Virgin to shine in all directions. But the reality is far more cruel than tired thinking. When looking at a person or a thing from the side, it often deviates from the essence, just like when a female student is fascinated by the teacher, can you think that he will be a murderer? Can you imagine that the tall man who won the flashlight for her would push himself into the dark elevator sinisterly?

Male professors do have a certain charm, for example, in terms of academics and in flirting with girls. But his life is completely uninteresting, even if he defines it as helping others. When the female student threatened his life, his rational thinking immediately drifted away, and the original literary male could only add the two-word attribute "pretend B" to him. When we open a door, we may be blinded by the brilliance in the door, but don't forget to open the window and take a look. Use your sharp eyes and your wisdom to see where we are as much as possible. s position.

After watching the movie, the two men expressed their views on the female student. If they had a girlfriend like that, they would never look back. Look, most men are hard-hearted.

I like the last scene of the movie the most, the schoolgirl walks by the beach, the wind blows the ends of her hair, I think she is lucky, fortunately, she followed her heart and went through an adventure, fortunately, she broke free from death, fortunately to find lost love. Life seems to be going around in circles, we are indeed moving forward, but sometimes we just circle in the same place, but only the experiencer himself understands that whether we are moving forward or staying in place, our footsteps have not stopped, we have not stopped. Every step we step on will be a lesson in our life, and to understand the mysteries of these lessons, we still have to sink into the mundane world.

Irrational Man quotes

  • Jill: You know, Abe actually says that people just manufacture drama so they can get through their lives because they're so empty.

  • [first lines]

    Abe: [narrating] Kant said human reason is troubled by questions that it cannot dismiss, but also cannot answer. Okay, so, what are we talking about here? Morality? Choice? The randomness of life? Aesthetics? Murder?

    Jill: I think Abe was crazy from the beginning. Was it from stress? Was it anger? Was he disgusted by what he saw as life's never-ending suffering? Or was he simply bored by the meaninglessness of day-to-day existence? He was so damn interesting. And different. And a good talker. And he could always cloud the issue with words.

    Abe: Where to begin? You know, the existentialists feel nothing happens until you hit absolute rock bottom. Well, let's say that when I went to teach at Braylin College, emotionally, I was at Zabriskie Point. Of course, my reputation, or should I say a reputation, preceded me.
