In a word, the male protagonist of the waste firewood Maozi accidentally became a hero after being forced to go to the battlefield. He married the widow of Qingmei as he wished. During the Russo-French War, the couple failed to assassinate Napoleon and the male protagonist was shot to death.

There are so many stalks in this movie, a kitsch-ridden comedy that really makes me laugh.

Welcome to Woody Allen's Dostoevsky wording game——

"Remember Raskolnikov, the boy next door ("Crime and Punishment")? He killed two women. Bobby heard about it from "Brother Karamazov."

"He must have been possessed by "Ghost"."

"He is just a "boy"."

"A raw youth? He is an "idiot"."

"He pretended to be "Insulted and Damaged"."

"I heard he is a "Gambler"."

Not to mention Eisenstein's "Battleship Potemkin", Eliot's "The Wasteland", Tolstoy "War and Peace", Bergman "The Seventh Seal" "Mask", Mozart's "Magic Flute", S Binoza's "Ethics", Socrates' quotations Plato's "The Meeting Drink", the same-sex society in ancient Greece, syllogism, existentialism, Tuo was pardoned by the Tsar at the last moment before execution, it is said that there is Chaplin? And I didn't see more.

Some lines are also very interesting, such as Sonja's 3ual theory and love&suffer theory, Boris's monologue before death, etc.

It is not difficult to see that Woody has a perfect romantic fantasy about love. He believes that soul fit is more important than physical attraction. Wenqing’s typical view of love, not a bad thing though.

    The lines are so funny, the old man's neurotic style is everywhere.

    7.8/10. ①The complex love story of the male protagonist of a noble family and his cousin during Napoleon's invasion of Russia. ②Laughter constantly, like to look directly at the camera and tell inner monologues, duels with guns, pantomimes of beating the head, and the scene of the assassination of Napoleon. ③Two problems: one is that the laughter is too full, which leads to emotional overload (similar to "Duck Soup"), and the other is that the black humor is turned into a joke/nonsense comedy, and the temperament is dislocated to a certain extent.
