How sweet and humble

Look at Woody Allen on a rainy and cool summer night. A film related to jazz in the 1930s, "Sweet and Humble", the protagonist is too strong, Madonna loves and hates her former husband Sean Penn, and Quentin Tarantino's movie goddess Uma Thurman. When I look at the look of the Uma Jazz era, I think of Henry Miller’s ex-wife Joan in "Henry and Joan". Now, Sean put away his domineering and unruly face, and felt a little joy in humbleness, and talked about the embarrassment of guitarists in the 1930s with Uma, who seemed a bit mysterious and modern.
Everything related to the Jazz Age is like a legend. My girlfriend sighed, why are all jazz artists so sad in the end? It seems to be a kind of destiny. There is a very fragile thing in jazz, or a mixture of tears and marijuana, so it's just arresting people. Amy, a well-known guitarist in the 1930s, was actually a "thousand-year second" character. Because there was a banner-like genius, Mr. No. 1 was in front of him to cover the brilliance. He always wanted to prove that he was the same as No. 1. Genius, his background and previous experience are humble. One day he told the female writer Uma, who had known each other for a few hours on the railroad tracks, about his career as a marginal man in society and his experience as a pimp. Uma, who was interested in writing, felt this way. Uma’s life is too perfect, yes, what Uma said is “too perfect”, so Amy abandoned the innocent launderer who had always loved him and followed him, and married Uma, only Woody Allen There will be such humor: They get married because they both like beautiful clothes, and Uma wants Amy to be a writing material. Amy always clamored that he is an artist, so he must be free, but after he betrayed the love of a mute girl, his marriage failed, he was drinking too much, and finally recorded the masterpiece and disappeared, and Woody Allen used it The documentary format makes some people remember him, but is Amy a real or a fictional celebrity? Mr. Allen knows how to use smoke bombs.
Amy reminds me of another jazz musician, Charlie Parker, nicknamed Asuka, artists of the jazz era. Basically, life is sad. After reaching the peak of art, he will fall quickly. Just like I heard the news of Jia Hongsheng’s fall and death recently, this actor who is absolutely not lacking in talent has seen his early "Weekend Lover", "Suzhou River", and later "Yesterday", he regarded Lennon as Spiritual godfather, he washes his face with toothpaste, smokes marijuana and other drugs (I heard that smoking marijuana alone is not addictive). In European and American countries, the growth and demise of such artistic youth is not uncommon, but in China, Jia Hongsheng is an alternative . He is very different from the celebrities who are completely rolling in the pile of fame and wealth. In a sense, his death is valuable. The Chinese literary circle finally has a death due to spirit (even because of incurable decadence). Mortal. He is very similar to the characters in Wang Shuo's novels, but Wang Shuo is just a taste, and he has not seen them in the depths of the souls of these people. I suddenly thought that if there is a machine that can record Jia Hongsheng's self-spiritual world after he became obsessed with rock, it will definitely be a meaningful piece of information.
Besides Woody Allen, this funny person can also create moving moments. The most touching part of this film is the first time the mute girl went to Amy’s room and immediately dried the firewood. After she took out the guitar from his box, he remembered that the excuse for bringing her to his room was to play music for her. Listen. Then he played a tune on the single bed, and her eyes sparkled. It was obvious that she was attracted by the music, and that music must have flowed into her heart.
She must have fallen in love with his music deeply, and then she fell in love with this man who can play such nice notes, just like the young literary and artistic young women who have no servants to some of the talented men.
