Every year international film festivals donate a set of woody allen, and this year is no exception. In recent years, woody has stopped participating in his own films, "match point" is definitely his comeback, and it is still woody's death-defying humor And a serious subject, but woody has reached another level, it seems, the whole film is really not like woody allen.

The main premise of "match point" is luck, chris and nola have similar backgrounds, chris gave up himself He loves tennis, but fate arranged for him to meet a rich girl, and from then on, Nola pursued her dream. She kept working hard, but in the end, her fate was that she could not become an actress and was abandoned by the rich family, which shows the difference in fate between the two. However, woody allen thought it was not enough, and then turned the movie into a murder movie. When chris and nola developed a sensual relationship, and later found out that nola was pregnant with his own flesh and blood, chris was afraid that she would ruin his life and murdered him Killing the mouth, Nola's fate is an innocent death, although the police found Nola's diary full of chris' name, the detective also got the revelation from the dream to solve the case, and chris's fate actually depends on a meson, what is the truth Luck. And chris' confession to the dead at the end (a very surreal scene) and the whole film are the embodiment of "crime and punishment", watching this film is like reading a paper, how woody allen uses "crime and punishment" Tragedy to illustrate the fate of people, while sticking to the topic, it is full of dark humor and tense plots.

The Irish actor johanath rhys-meyer who played Chris is much more mature in appearance and acting than "bend it like beckham" and "velvet goldmine". The reaction before and after the murder is unparalleled, and the last scene looks into the distance His deep eyes can be seen from the beginning of his inner drama, but from time to time in his eyes and footsteps, you can also find a little bit of frivolity and coquettishness in velvet goldmine when he was young. As for scarlett johansson, the first set of movies to watch her is "the man who wasn't there", when she was not yet twenty years old, she played a young girl who admired a middle-aged man, without stage fright, and then "ghost world" with "american beauty" Thora Birch There are not many opportunities to play. After being photographed by sofia coppola in "lost in translation", he is recognized as the most potential young actor. He is only 20 years old this year, and his sexy role in "match point" is more than enough. I believe that she will still play in the film industry in the future.

The opera is used as the soundtrack to show the actors' inner struggles more deeply, which made me a little interested in opera.

  • Tom Hewett: What was it the the vicar used to say? "Despair is the path of least resistance." It was something odd, wasn't it? It was very strange.
