Ironic

"You know, but you'll find as you go through life that great depth and smoldering sensuality does not always win. I'm sorry to say."

"Do you agree the eyes are the windows of the soul?"

"Well, I believe they're windows, but I'm not sure it's the soul they see."

"I sent her white roses around the clock. All the time, for days, for days. And then I found out she was allergic. So...I started pleading with her. I just... I begged her. I just begged her day and night. And I think it was the caviar that did it."

This last conversation between the male lead played by Woody Allen and the woman he likes is really ironic. I really like Woody Allen's irony.

"He's not what you think. He's wonderful, he's warm, and caring, and romantic."

"He's a success. That's what he is. He's rich, and he's a success."

"Give me a little credit, will you?"

"Well, I always did give you a little credit until today. You know, We used to laugh at this guy. The silly shows he puts on, the way he talks."

"He's endearing"

"This is my worst fear realized."

I like Woody Allen’s style too much recently. The middle class, intellectuals, literary youth, love, marriage, love, necessary derailment, the truth and irony of the combination of ideal love and reality, there are always some literary youth’s all kinds of mine. The feelings of the “left” side in the definition are extremely real in the face of reality and materiality.

The protagonists, who are insecure, anxious and nervous, are intertwined with fragments of various literature, philosophy, psychology, and artists, and jointly complete one satirical drama after another.

The lines almost never stopped from beginning to end really make the plot too tight.

I like this little old man very much recently
