What a banana

After watching "Annie Hall", I always felt that if it were not for the New Yorker, it would be difficult to fully appreciate the wit of Woody Allen movies. It is as if foreigners saw Fu Biao cry in tears in the "big names", "The Chinese entertainment industry has collectively supplemented the calcium". At most, they think his performance is funny, but he won't applaud his lines. Another example is the Chinese translation of Woody Allen's collection "Mensa's Prostitute" last year.

So it took a long time to watch his 1971 movie "Bananas", and I saw endless laughter. How could the style be so nonsense like Stephen Chow's early days! Woody Allen, who plays the leading role, is very cute and funny.

The protagonist is a small person in the greater New York City, who always wants to catch a horse but has no charm. I had to pretend to be an intellectual. When I bought the Xianshi magazine, I said "Doing a sociological study on perversion. I'm up to Advanced Child Molesting.", and the result was suppressed to this point-"I once stole a pornographic book that was printed in braille. I used to rub the dirty parts. ". Finally, relying on petty bourgeoisie to talk about Eastern philosophy and other esoteric tricks to catch a "high ambition", like to do yoga, engage in anti-government movements, rescue African refugees, study leprosy, and support the feminist movement of college students, but it didn't take long for people to dislike it. He is "emotionally, sexually, and intellectually immature". For this reason he claimed that he was also a leftist revolutionary and yelled "I like leprosy! If that's what you're asking me... I'm perfectly willing to... I like leprosy, I like cholera! I like all the major skin diseases! ", as a courtesy, simply immediate concern to South America San Marcos country to observe the movement between the totalitarian rulers and local militia, came up with a lot of nonsense jokes, no reason has become a local president ......

this The stupid encounter of the little character is a colorful and black humorous story. The film insinuates a lot, ridiculed a few, and satirizes all kinds of things, but even without rich cultural background knowledge, it can be a good laugh for 82 minutes!
