Invincible Amy

"Invincible Amy" is a typical Woody Allen movie, full of humorous dialogue with a strong personal style, and the storyline is very simple. It's not so much a movie, it's more like a talk show with pictures. After reading it, you will remember some of the dialogues and plan to quote them at a party, but looking back, you may not remember which movie of Woody Allen this dialogue came from.

In short, there are generally two reactions to Woody Allen's movies, like like your own private dish, or fall asleep after watching it for five minutes.

If most Woody Allen movies are the same, "Invincible Amy" continues to mock the hypocrisy of the middle class.

Lenny and Amanda have been married for many years and still belong to the Dink family (Although Woody and his wife seem to be both young and old in every movie, the age difference between the two people is never involved in the movie, it seems that this problem does not exist) . Amanda insisted on adopting a child. The couple love this little child, but the problem of their marriage is getting bigger and bigger.

The life of the middle class is stable and flat, and the passion between them has gradually faded away, and the adopted children cannot solve their problems. So the two people each looked for a way to solve the bottleneck problem in their lives.

Amanda is busy with her gallery. But Lenny started looking for the biological mother of her child.

According to his imagination, if the child is so smart, then the child's mother should not be bad. However, his investigation first led him to a girl who had no fixed place, and then he found out that the girl was playing some temporary roles, then in pornographic movies and occasionally in prostitution.

When he finally found the girl Linda, his last illusion was shattered. That girl is a complete waste.

Lenny quickly found a new solution for her loss. Now that his life has been set, let him change the girl's life and bring her into the middle class. Of course Lenny is not a god, he can't do these things.

In the end, it is almost inevitable that both Lenny and Amanda will return to their stable middle-class life after experiencing adventures outside of marriage.

As I said at the beginning, there are some very interesting dialogues in "Invincible Amy God". For example, Amanda proposed to adopt a child, Lenny said why not give birth to one by her own, Amanda said that I have no time to get pregnant.

For another example, Lenny's child asks Lenny who is the boss in the family. Lenny said, I’m Boss, and your mother is just a decision maker. She has the final say about the family affairs, but the TV remote control is in my hand.

One last thing, Lenny helped Linda a lot. Linda said, I feel like I owe you a great fuck. (Lenny first came to Linda as a fake client.) The

difference from most Woody Allen movies is that the film is built into the structure of the legendary Greek drama. For each stage of the performance, a group of choirs came out, chanting a lot of warnings, of course, it was also in the style of Woody Allen.

For example, the choir sings, Zeus, save us. There was a voice in the air saying that Zeus was not at home, please leave a message if you have something to do.

This movie uses "Take Five" as an interlude, and I like almost all movies that use "Take Five" as an interlude.

IMDB scored 6.9 (8990 people voted), I scored 7.
