Purple roses are blooming

When I saw "Agua" walking out of the movie screen, the purple roses of Cairo were in full bloom, and they were still blooming so warmly.

"Agua" came out with an innate simplicity (I wonder if Agua's casting referenced the Purple Rose of Cairo at the time) and started hooking up with Woody Allen's women. Although women (Allen's self-portrait) were attracted after being beaten by society, they were awake to "Agua" from beginning to end, knowing that illusion is only a moment, and there will always be a moment to return to reality (the reality of that era was too much. Cruel, unreal too beautiful).

Then we got the second actor "Agua" who played "Mr. Huo" to appear. Mr. Huo is also amazing. He has won traffic and attention by packaging himself as a "duck" who doesn't eat human fireworks. However, due to his limited strength, he is looking for a new role to take it to the next level. But something went wrong at this time, and the character set up by Mr. Huo before is likely to collapse. Mr. Huo didn't care about other things, he came over by private plane to solve the problem, and happened to meet a woman. At this time, I was thinking about a question: Is Mr. Huo deeply in love with the heroine and helpless to be defeated by reality, or is he using the heroine to achieve his purpose of protecting his character from the beginning. Anyway, the final outcome is that Mr. Huo flew back to Hollywood alone, and Allen gave a meaningful shot: let's Mr. Huo is in deep thought, and there is the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window.

Talk about the movie itself. Allen is like Kubrick, they are really geniuses of cinema, they create movies with a deep magic that attracts you to dig and explore, and make yourself unable to extricate yourself with an extraordinary charm, watch them The movie is a treat.

In the end, the woman experienced the illusion and wanted to grasp the reality, but the cruelty of the reality was unacceptable to her weak soul. In the end, she returned to her original ruthless life. Some people say that the last tears of a woman are tears of regret after seeing the essence, but I think maybe it is the tears that she grew up after experiencing the illusion and reality.

Ps: A movie is a time to escape from reality and enter an unreal time to satisfy one's imagination. The reason why I love movies is to love my unrestrained dream that day. The director's greatness lies in making the dream a reality.
