Woody Allen used the first three questions in the film to finish the motive and moral of the whole story:
1. "Kant said that human reason is always troubled by unsolvable and unanswerable questions. Well, so, what are we talking about? Morality? Choice? The randomness of life? Aesthetics? Or murder. ?"
Well, I summarized the plot of the film at the beginning:
a. The moral theories that people use rational language to output to the outside world are not necessarily the moral standards that the complex creatures of human beings truly restrict themselves. When the real moment of choice comes, compared with the ideal rational person in the mind, The biological instincts in the cell nucleus that have been burned for hundreds of millions of years are often the ultimate winners. How many freedoms are there in the choices that humans can make?
b. Both the ring in "The End of the Game" or the flashlight in this film are the embodiment of the notion that Woody Allen's life is full of great contingency. No one can perfectly control every detail of the development of the world. After all, we don’t talk about the world. Helpless humans cannot even control their own emotions, desires, and thoughts (some people may have to rely on the external force of a psychologist every week. To assist, to prevent the system from crashing and crashing at the blue screen);
c. Haha The next thing is indeed to tell a story about murder.
2. "I think Abe was crazy from the beginning. Was it because of stress? Or anger? Or disgusted by the infinite suffering in his life? Or he was meaningless and day after day. Bored by the Japanese lifestyle? He is so interesting and different. He is very chatty. He can always make the topic convoluted with a few words."
The second sentence is about Abe's motivation. These questions are actually declarative sentences.
Secondly, it is also explaining the reason why the heroine is obsessed with Abe—the existentialist's unconventional mystery and romanticism are always favored by young literary and artistic young women.
3. "Where do I start? Unless you really hit the bottom line, an existentialist will never feel that something has happened."
To some extent, all criticism in Woody Allen's films is self-criticism, and all mockery is self-loathing. The existential concept of the philosophy professor in this film is also pursued by Woody Allen at a certain stage of his own life. He himself was (and may still be) the unreasonable person, who does not consider responsibilities and consequences, and acts on his own impulse at the moment. Therefore, around the movie protagonist and Woody Allen, there will always be all kinds of peachy laces. They don’t hesitate in the face of messing around. They will seize the 100,000 days of life and never miss any joy, no matter what the other party is. My student is still an adopted daughter, whether it is sex or murder (oh, in reality, Woody Allen is not unreasonable enough to kill).
Unless the bottom line is really touched-the heroine can't accept that Abe really killed someone, and Mia Farrow can't accept what Woody Allen really did to his adopted daughter.
And even at this time, the existentialists can always compose a set of theories to correct their mistakes.
However, for an existential philosopher, if there is no impulse to life, no erection and the distant place that has not been visited yet, how much happiness and meaning can there be in living like this?
