speaks out the breathless despair and helplessness in life with a smile, and it becomes a funny, absurd and meaningful black humor. This kind of life attitude with tears in laughter, I think Hong Kong People are best at acting.
The young and arrogant playwright rushed to Broadway with ideals and love. The collision of ideals and reality is originally a rivalry between eggs and stones, and it is always a tireless topic that viewers talk about. But most of the time, the stone is always the final winner, which provokes the spectator's sorrow; occasionally there are chicks out of their shells. Such inspirational films win the bright banner of the healing system, but after all, in reality, they are only a minority. . Just because of ideals, the ultimate enemy is still his own cowardice and inertia.
Woody's taste is that he is good at adding funny and absurd bridges in this kind of helplessness. In order to obtain sponsorship, young screenwriters had to endure the comical conditions of gang sponsors; the unspoken actresses who were outdated and the new popular screenwriters tried to make a comeback; the playwrights took advantage of his talents to be in the upper life of the art circle like a fish in water.
In this filthy atmosphere full of vanity, fame, fortune, lust, and interest, there is resolutely buried some bright and memorable fun. The gangster full of artistic sentiments finally killed the boss’ mistress, only because he could not stand his mistress’s vulgar acting skills and ruined his script. The last sentence before his death did not forget to add a wonderful ending to his script; he couldn’t stop having food. The humor of a bulimia male actor who eats chicken legs before committing an affair; the cheating girlfriend provokes the male artist and finally awakens his lover; the young screenwriter is finally dreaming a climax, awakening the authenticity of reality and ideals, so he brings his girlfriend back to the original dullness life.
The scene on the street at the end is the most interesting, "I am not an artist, and I love you", the line is memorable for a long time. Most of us are unhappy, always wanting to show others abilities that we don't have, so when we dare to admit the truth of everything, letting go is actually gaining and gaining a more real sense of existence. Throw away all the physical and psychological "things outside the body".
A short and ups and downs on Broadway's dream journey, from the perspective after waking up, it is quite interesting like a dream. As I kept on chewing, I was amazed by Woody's talent.
