A little afterthought

Woody Allen is committed to visualizing his literary works and thinking! This time he devoted his vision to the great Russian literature of the 19th century. Tolstoy's "War and Peace", an alternative representation of Napoleon's image, Dostoevsky's book title and image, Russian literature's display of chaotic love relationships, sin and punishment, spirit and flesh speculation.
It’s amazing that a Jew who lived in New York in the 20th century not only has a deep understanding of Russian literature in the 19th century, but also through the dialogue between the characters and scenes, he truly reproduces the expression of the ideas of Russian historical figures in the Russian literature in the 19th century. It is almost original. original.
In addition, he paid tribute to Bergman everywhere, especially when he danced with death at the end, he paid tribute to "Seventh Seal"; the heroine and friends paid tribute to "Scream and Whisper"! Wait.
Diane Keaton is so beautiful, almost like an exquisite oil painting, and she is almost the best comedy actress of the 20th century, a serious nonsense, good looks, she can master Woody Allen's comedy very well. Rhythm, not exaggerated, understatement, but it makes people laugh! Perhaps only Woody Allen discovered her comedic talent, and she and Woody Allen achieved each other!

    Russian cinema and Bergman. Chekhov, War and Peace, Anna Karenina, Dostoevsky, etc. The big ladies in Russian novels and movies are all very pure, but they are actually flying up and down. This is what Diane Keaton satirized.

    I started to engage with Dostoevsky again... How could such a beautiful and intellectual woman as Diane Keaton follow the pirate ship 5d... Cause my impression of this woman began to develop in a strange direction. The separate exposition and confrontation space, the pessimistic philosophy of 5d, Bergman, and the tirade of certain passages for comic effect, plus the occasional neurotic monologue, make the whole film seem cluttered
