Another Woody film, "A Rainy Day in New York," was canceled by Amazon Studios because of women's affirmative action in Hollywood. With Woody turning 80 this year, this may be the last we'll see, his movie. Remembering this, my heart is inevitably a little sad. However, this month has already passed several masters one after another, and the fall of an era has long been inevitable. One more and one less may not change or affect anything.
Woody likes to shoot extramarital affairs, from Match point, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Blue Jasmine to today's Wonder Will, the triangular relationship between two men and one woman and two women and one man, was put on various coats, placed in various situations, with The dark humorous and somewhat neurotic stage lines flow from the eyes and mouths of Scarlett, Stuart, Kate.B and Kate.W over and over again in a hurry or slowly, making people feel the superb shooting skills at the same time, I also have to take a closer look at my own life that tends to be bland or even mediocre. Yes, those things about never enough money, unfinished household chores, education of bear children, alcoholism, helplessness to regroup families, etc., are the truth of our lives. Whether there are red and blue neon lights outside the window, long trestle bridges stepping on the waves, whether there is a merry-go-round with flying music, or a Ferris wheel representing a fairy tale of love, our real life is a mess, we can’t get out, and we can’t get away. We also dream of meeting a handsome lifeguard, who just likes Hamlet. With the romance and steadfastness of a writer, he is willing to reach out to save the soul of a middle-aged woman who is on the verge of extinction, and spend his life on it without any regrets? In fact, he's just a summer job, he's just studying at New York University, and he may have nothing to do after graduation, and maybe one day, like Strickland, he will abandon his wife to pursue the great power of art.
We spend our entire lives wanting to love and be loved. However, the rules and regulations of the modern civilization system and the progress of the social division of labor have led people to more often use words such as morality, restraint, rules, calm, and even letting go to restrain their souls, even if it is a little slack and desire. Love only belongs to unmarried young people, even Caralina, who is single, not to Ginny, even if she may need it more. The society's definition of her is to bring Richie, carry the plate, and preferably participate in her husband's fishing activities. Because you are old and on the verge of death, it is a moral thing in itself to expect love. Kate's acting is almost perfect to hold up the whole movie, especially when she chats with Richie about her story of her youth, about Richie's drummer dad, and pulling out that ill-fitting green costume, it's all over the place The loneliness permeated the entire screen. When she stole money to buy an expensive pocket watch and engraved warm words, thinking that Micky would be touched by the nervousness and the hysteria after being rejected, everyone who has been in love or is in love will inevitably have a relationship Yan.
The plot of Yu Jia eating mangoes has the meaning of self-abuse and suicide, and the scene of Meng Yun shouting "I love you" with the headband of the Supreme Treasure and even being dragged away by the security guard covering his mouth can only make people unable to help feeling emotional , Chinese directors are either too ignorant of life and try their best to perform, or too ignorant of life to be too lazy to show. Of course, people can't help crying when faced with tragic scenes, but it's okay to cry, it will neither affect the box office nor burn your brain, it may be a good thing.
Special thanks to Woody for bringing us so many excellent works over the years. After all, ordinary people do not have the time, energy or freedom to experience and feel. They can only see more aspects of love in his works, in the turbid wine bottle. , After the heavy rain refracts the light, in the colorful sky or even under the cold bullets, watching people still follow the past, it also always reminds us that we are still alive, and we can still strive for everything we want, hope, desire, even if it is A day, an hour, a minute, a second.
