Woody Allen's Strawberry

Judy Davis once again played a neurotic role similar to that in "Husband, Wife and Lover". It came up as a repetitive jump shot of getting off a taxi. In my heart, it is the best representative of Woody Allen's movie. The female image is not Diane Keaton, but Judy Davis. Neuroticism, sensitivity, anxiety, personality, always in anger, perfectly fits Woody Allen's movie temperament. She complained angrily about the portrayal of herself in the novel written by the writer Harry, played by Woody Allen, and even planned to shoot herself because Harry was her brother-in-law, but they had one leg, only to find that Harry was with another one. Women also have a leg.... But Harry said that she didn’t think she would commit suicide because her sexuality was not dramatic... Harry had three marriages, and he wanted to see a woman. , The countless old men who read chickens are still typical Woody Allen-like roles, chattering and self-centered. Woody Allen still uses his signature narrative in this film. The past and the present are intertwined with each other, switching and jumping quickly without preparation, and there are many similar scenes and different characters in the time and space change and fast editing. Create contrast and joy. At the same time, in the circumstances where the past and the present are intertwined, the characters, time and space and events in the story written by Harry are also added. The three time and space are constantly interspersed and dazzled. There are also interview clips, which is also an element that Woody Allen loves. This film can be said to be the master of Woody Allen, and it is also the one he has enjoyed the most.

Every short story that Harry creates corresponds to his real life and his roles in life. For example, Toby Maguire’s young teenager who thinks about Japan when he sees a woman reflects Harry’s own state; At the beginning, the story of the brother-in-law and the sister-in-law Cannon in the kitchen mirrored the adultery between Harry and the sister-in-law, the character of Judy Davis, who played the role of jump cut; Harry had sex with the patient of the psychologist’s ex-wife, in order to balance his guilt. , So I created a female psychologist who is a male patient...The most genius story undoubtedly comes from Robin William, who has become blurred and unable to focus. When his wife sees this blurred When my husband asked him if he was allergic to eating, or if he wanted to rest in bed, I just laughed and pissed... and this vague story reflects anxiety, because Harry was awarded by his alma mater at last The honorary degree ceremony was also blurred due to anxiety and tension... Another hilarious, typical Woody Allen quarrel came from Harry and his ex-wife in the clinic (actually at home) about Harry Day After the quarrel between his wife and patients, the ex-wife’s hysterical rants and insults got Harry’s self-centered, innocent shirking of responsibility and self-reasoning words. This earth-shattering confrontation was quite enjoyable. They all laughed out... The hell scene was also full of irony. The fifth layer: subway robbers, aggressive beggars, book critics; the sixth layer: right-wing extremists, serial murderers, on TV Lawyers who showed up; the seventh layer: media people, this layer is full.........Woody Allen is really a "hateful" intellectual. There is also a story about a middle-aged Jewish couple. The wife discovers a secret of her husband, that is, the husband is a cold-blooded murderer and ogre... Woody Allen, as a Jew, also acted on his compatriots. No mercy. The current time in the film is mainly the story line of Harry taking a black prostitute, an old friend (died on the way), and his kidnapped son from his ex-wife to his alma mater to attend the honorary degree ceremony. The shadow of German's "Wild Strawberry". And Harry's dialogue and interaction with the characters in the story he created can also be seen as a dialogue between him and himself, and he examines and deconstructs himself through his own works. Finally, all the characters created by Harry applaud and welcome Harry’s return, just like his own work is grateful for himself. This is the most fulfilling moment for the creator. He also re-examined his life through his work. , His life is the same as "Wild Strawberry".

Everyone knows the same truth, and our lives are made up of how we choose to distort this truth.
