The mind is the second organ he loves

He said he didn't want to be immortal because of his works, he wanted to be immortal because of immortality. He was a Jew, but he lived in the United States. With the unique tone of intellectuals and the desperate mood of nihilism, the critical French media finally admitted that there are movies in the United States. He hopes to find a woman who knows him completely for the rest of his life, so he marries his adopted daughter. Later in the film, the Americans accused of doubting God, and went away to film the London trilogy. Scarlett Johansson is beautiful in his lens and it makes people palpitate. He is seventy-five years old and has lived through more than half of the world's film history. He was born at the time when sound films and the Second World War ravaged the world, including of course the famous economic depression.

He is Woody Allen, and when he was younger than now, he and Martin Scorsese called the best thing in contemporary American cinema. However, he is still the most beautiful thing, as long as he is alive, this is good.

[Sex Collection] Of course, this movie cannot be said to be Woody Allen’s representative work. If it goes farther, it should be the Oscar-winning [Annie Hall]. If it is closer, it should also be a London trilogy. The first part of [match end point]. However, any director may have been making the same movie all his life, so [The Book of Sex] can undoubtedly be regarded as one of Woody Allen's endless exploration of movies.

The movie is composed of seven different short films, each of which lasts about a quarter of an hour. At the beginning and the end of the film, rabbits standing on their shoulders were photographed. The naive look seems to be inconsistent with the theme of the movie. But it is not the case. The rabbit is the most reproductive animal among the creatures, and the symbol of the playboy is also derived from this.

When it comes to the reproduction of creatures, I can't help but think of something. Schopenhauer once talked about the meaninglessness of life in the book "The World as Consciousness and Representation". As any creature, including humans, survival and reproduction are essential. The meaning of survival is to reproduce, but reproduction itself is meaningless. Although the "Bible" used extremely brilliant terms to describe the prosperity of life, like the lilies in the valleys that are not planted or harvested, King Solomon was not as prosperous as it was when it was most prosperous. But if a flower or a bird only cares about its beauty and its disappearance, can we say that its appearance lacks the truth because of its purposelessness? Although at the end of the last world some scholars proposed that the meaning of reproduction is to achieve the evolution of genetic material, that meaning also has nothing to do with people themselves. People are only the carriers of props.

Because of this premise, it is inevitable that Woody Allen's [Sex Book] has some special flavor. The movie talked about aphrodisiacs, sexual talks, special hobbies and other topics in a joking way, even if it is still talked about today, there are some taboo topics. Even in the filming of the aphrodisiac part, the plot in "Hamlet" was used to show a kind of awkward absurdity and sadness unique to Woody Allen. In the part about beast love, it is about a patient who came to see a doctor. He fell in love with one of his sheep because he was lonely and intolerable when grazing on the mountain. The purpose of seeking medical treatment is not that his lover is always a sheep, but that his lover has changed his heart. He hopes to make him and the sheep fall in love with the help of a doctor. In just fifteen minutes, the story has twists and turns, and in the end the doctor’s involvement in the romance turns into a comical love triangle. Love is so interesting, it seems to be nothing, and it seems to have everything. Even if the subject is a sheep, there can be such a tension in the idol plot. People are so good at dramatizing mediocre life and exposing the nature of boredom so naked, but they still have to struggle in love. It seems that if you don't pull each other, you will be forgotten.

The whole movie is run through with such a ridiculous plot, accompanied by Woody Allen's face of a particularly comedic and pitiful intellectual.

The last story is my favorite. Woody Allen pretends to be a worm standing among a large number of well-trained worms. He is unwilling to participate in the launch operation, and complains quite aggrievedly that others have stepped on his tail. Then he asked his partner nervously, what should he do if he is gay? What should I do if I encounter contraceptives? What if there is a wall on the opposite side? Until the other person said, hey, there is no time to doubt our mission.

Well, that's all I want to say. Because while doubting the mission, life passed silently. We are still getting old in emptiness. But it's also very interesting, isn't it?
