As a member of the philosophy department, Woody Allen cited the so-called existentialism, Arendt, Sartre, Heidegger and the Nazis, Kant, Kierkegour, or situational ethics, etc., although they are just a little bit of a catastrophe. , But it can be said that killing people for the sake of existence and crossing boundaries for the purpose of survival is to practice a kind of violence of revolutionary passion, and it does exist. Deontology may be the evil of banality, while Heidegger's ontology is not untouchable in the sense of pursuing existence, while situational ethics, if the highest value is good, some evil is allowed.
Life must become an absolute value, so that it will not move towards using people as a means. This is the original Kant doctrine, which was later extended by romanticism as the value of the nation is a higher absolute value. But Kant is not talking about life, but about rational people. This is an ambiguous place, he is confident that everyone will dare to use their own reason, but in fact most people are too lazy to deal with this rigid professor.
The whole story is a very simple issue of personal justice, but it is more about crime and punishment. Personal justice is to practice morality and to find the meaning of value to oneself. The charm of Woody Allen is that he tells the whole story very easily, listening to thunder in silence, especially the final murder, which is thrilling. Although the last traces of deliberate irony are strong, even deliberately, as this character, perhaps the best ending is to escape.
The two women inside are also very interesting. One is really a romantic fantasy, with a trembling sense of morality in the bones. The fantasy breakthrough, in fact, is safe and self-sacrificing, while the other is completely free, but attached to a man, no man takes her. Go, I dare not leave.
The film should not so much satirize the decadent and philosophical teacher who sees through the world, as it satirizes the two kinds of housewives and female students who are disturbed by the world.
Of course, compared to other Allen movies, this movie is really mediocre.
