Young and beautiful.

No matter what others say, this should be the best Woody Allen movie I have ever seen.

When I saw "Midnight Paris", I thought that this old man should not have any more powerful handwriting. It is a very magical thing to pop out of an old man's head, and midnight Paris is also such a phenomenon. The highest level.

Sure enough, after watching his "The Unreasonable Man", I finally saw him looking for themes in the previous material. The unreasonable person probably came out from Central Park West Road. It's just that the joking about existentialism will make the underground Sartre a little angry. But there is no way, after all, I have been weird for a lifetime, and I can't stop it.

Before watching this "Coffee Commune", the film critics said they were boring, saying that Woody Allen was finally exhausted. But as a fanatic of Woody Allen, I still watched it.

But I have to say that this film stunned me. If he stops, he will end his career in a climax, but whether he will end is really hard to say. At least "Coffee Commune" is absolutely perfect!

Time passes. Life moves on. People change.

Bobby is changed by life, in fact, it is the same with Vannie. The chaotic relationship created by Woody Allen makes everyone and the audience deeply embarrassed, just like I joked with my friends The same, Woody Allen’s movie is that a man has to fall in love with two women, and then a woman has to fall in love with two men. But in general, the character created by Woody Allen can't escape this net.

Bobby left, became rich, and started to succeed. He lived the married life of an ordinary man until the past came knocking on the door again. When Vannie came to him again and kissed again, I had some hatred towards Woody Allen. Yes, this is your style. Bobby is with Vannie again, right? But is this fair to this new Varney? I think Woody Allen can't escape this kind of routine. Even if the male and female leaders cannot be together, it is either a disaster or an accident. It is really cruel.

But finally, in the end, when the New Year's bell rang, the two people looked at empty eyes that didn't know where they were. Bobby said, year changed. But this is when all romances, all adventures, all encounters of youth and nothing meet all reality, all life, all worldly and omnipresent, a kind of memorable and tranquility.

Woody Allen put aside the entanglement and sorted out the broken net. He is old, too old to do anything thrilling, but he has finally matured, no matter how gorgeous the world is and how people desire, His role has finally not forgotten a kind of youthful simplicity, and they finally returned to their lives, even if the life of money, light, mansion and diamond whitewashing, they have to live an ordinary life. It's just that the lights of the Mexican restaurant that day are still flashing in memories.

I don’t know if people who have seen it will feel this way, but at least I have the feeling that this film is another "The Great Gatsby", there is no too sensual scenes, they were also young and beautiful. ,love each other. When the years passed and they changed each other, their innocent hearts were still under the glitz of life, but after all, time allowed them to go to the present, and they could not go back to their youth and freedom. They have their own lives, and they go another way to meet different people.


Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Yes I will, but you know, time passes, life moves on and people change.
