This is probably the time I have seen so many old man movies and laughed the most times. It’s a small stalk at three minutes and a big stalk at five minutes. It can’t be more fun.
Woody Allen put himself a cowardly New York intellectual back to the time of Tsarist Russia, ruthlessly deconstructing and mocking himself and the times. The film is full of countless tributes and banter. Let me think about it, Bergman and his Dancing with Death, Eisenstein and his sensory montage, the Karamazov brothers, Tolstoy, the battleship Potemkin, and Chaplin and his downgrade comics . As the fourth film of the old man, this can actually be regarded as the starting point of his real film career before "Anne Hall".
For an audience who doesn't love Woody Allen, the lines in the movie may make people want to break the computer screen, and vice versa, they will still see something in the nagging. Diane Keaton is an interesting character. He has always said how much he wants to find a complete person, a true spiritual partner, but when Woody Allen really started to discuss morals or something deeper with him, he would rather To choose a herring dealer, I would rather choose a raw meat lover who only knows vowels and consonants.
It is well known that Woody Allen is a Jew and a God skeptic, which runs through his film career. He still denies God in this film. The only time he believes is when Cupid said that he will be pardoned before the death sentence, perhaps against the life. His longing and the fear of death made him go to his head, and he couldn't stop praising God at that moment. Of course, God seemed to lie to him. There are things worse than death, for example, spending a night with an insurance salesman, hahahahahahaha, this sentence really laughs at me.
Diane Keaton’s words about love and suffering at the end of the film also have some meaning, "Love is suffering, not love is suffering, suffering is suffering, to be happy is to love, to be happy, then suffer, but to suffer and feel unhappy. Therefore, you have to think If you are not happy, you must love, or suffer because of love, or suffer because of too much happiness." The little old man has penetrated into love in the 1970s. "Sex without love is completely empty" and "the body and the spirit are of course separate."
In the end, I probably need to make up Bergman.
