At that time, Mr. Wu and his long-term lover Mia Farrow's Korean adopted daughter had an affair, and the American people denounced it all over the country. Mia was the first to sue him and wrote a book, of course, to expose all kinds of unbearable things. From this, I learned that Mr. Wu must see a psychiatrist for two hours a day, and that he is neurotic to the (near) morbid level about many things in life. Regarding the matter with Mia's adopted daughter (not Mr. Wu's adopted daughter, otherwise it would be more troublesome), Mr. Wu's response sounds like a big deal, but it is indeed a famous saying of life: "My heart desires what it desires."
His The film, through humor, sarcasm and neuroticism, reflects on the insecurities in life, the sense of anxiety, the sense of absurdity, the sense of absurdity, in a word, the angst of existence, but no moral judgment. It belongs to the kind of "full of absurd words and a handful of (with a smile) sad tears". Mr. Wu's films are in line with Shi Tiesheng's theory that writing is the reason for living.
This film, on the surface, is very not "Woody Allen". The story takes place in the UK, not Woody's Manhattan; the protagonist is relatively normal, not neurotic, not to mention Mr. Wu himself, the male protagonists are handsome and suave, and they look better than Mr. Wu's skin; the plot is not directly absurd and absurd, full of restlessness Uneasy, but more soothing, oh, almost normal; language is more British humor and expression, even Oscar Wilde in some places. Also, the music, the music is a beautiful, heart-broken, elegant opera. In his bones, it is still Woody Allen, who has changed the way of expression, and is still talking about the absurdity and absurdity of life.
The theme begins with the hero, Chris Wilton, a former professional who retired as a tennis coach, stating: "The man who said "I'd rather be lucky than good" saw deeply into life. People are often afraid to realize how much of an impact luck plays. There are moments in a tennis match where the ball hits the top of the net, and for a split second, remains in mid-air. With a litte luck, the ball goes over, and you win . Or maybe it doesn't, and you lose." To the effect that people often underestimate the impact of luck. In life, like tennis, sometimes the ball is knocked down and stays on the net, and in that second, with a bit of luck, the ball passes, and you win, maybe the ball doesn't pass, and you lose.
Chris came from a poor family and has a deep sense of tragedy in life itself. This is evident from his review of the CD he gave to his girlfriend/wife Chloe. He said he loved the singer's (without saying who) arias, "his voice expresses everything that is tragic about life". Chloe was born in a wealthy family and was born with a silver spoon. He laughed at his sense of tragedy. The relationship between the sense of tragedy and origin cannot be verified. I have seen a lot of people who have experienced some hardships with a sense of tragedy (except Prince Sakyamuni). If you want to go up, everything is hard-won and requires a lot of luck. Fortunately, luck is on his side. He is close to tennis student Tom Hewitt because of his love of opera, and he is introduced into Tom's wealthy family by Tom, and he is close to Tom's sister/sister Chloe. Chloe has everything that a lucky woman should have, medium-to-high intelligence, medium-high beauty, good upbringing, gentleness and a sense of humor. The disadvantage is that he passed out when he saw handsome Chris. Chloe loves handsome guys, and sweetly and gently gave Chris a position in the family. Chris, as a mortal, is hard not to be obsessed with horses and hunting, Greek island tours, opera boxes, and Ralph Lauren sweaters. They walked into the church, and it was a matter of course.
It's all set, but Chris' heart wants what it wants. The conflict arises when Tom's sexy ex-fiancée, Nola, appears. Presumably of the kind that every man mortal sees and loves, five minutes five hours to five months. It's probably a love at first sight, infatuation ignores reason or reality, and burns it roaringly. Chris's spirit and flesh, the flesh is sturdy and brave, he called it "love"--Xiao TA sneered countless times in his heart. The funny thing is that Chloe is desperately trying to do the doll project, and Chris's spirit is weak and his flesh is weak; his fleshly passion floats towards Nola recklessly, but he is a good shooter. The lover is pregnant with a child, and the lover threatens to sue his wife, but luck is not on his side for the time being.
Seeing the hysterical entanglement of a pregnant lover, like Glenn Close in "Fetal Attraction," and Chris parrying weakly. I thought, be brave, be brave. I would rather he be a brave man with a heartless heart, perform the "beginning chaos and abandonment" that has been repeated for thousands of years, and bravely say, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my infatuation with you is not enough to make me give up everything in my life. I won't leave my wife, the good life. There is nothing new under the sun. Hearts will break, but life will go on. Taking on guilt also takes courage. And he didn't, he chose to call infatuation love, so he didn't have that choice. He made another choice that required more courage, not completely unobtrusive, nor completely unreasonable--of course, if he took Xiao Ta's suggestion, there would be no movies to watch.
In the end, luck is on Chris's side again, with the help of humans (the kind called cops) who make themselves smart. But he said, "It would be fitting if I were apprehended... and punished. At least there would be some small sign of justice - some small measure of hope for the possibility of meaning." Pointing to the Toss that began his reading Toyevsky's "Crime and Punishment" (among many other little details). This man with a deep sense of tragedy, because of his luck, could not find traces of justice, and failed to see the hope that life has a meaning--good luck, hard to say--the right time and place are right for people and happen; good or bad luck, It's a subjective thing.
Some "passionate" scenes where men and women fall in love are plain, how can it be better, it's not clear. Some scenes are so "perfect" that they're airy. However, the flaws do not hide the beauty. Woody Allen is Woody Allen after all, the whole class did a great job. It is still a very good movie, reflecting on life through the struggle and fate of a mortal. And those arias, the souls struggling in the joy and sorrow of consoling fate, are beautiful.
It is said to be Woody's 19th year (produced in 2005), the first film to make money, the last one was in 1986 (Hannah and Her Sister). I have seen a report and figures saying that the actors in Woody's movies are paid only one-tenth of what they are doing in bad movies. However, everyone is flocking to it and is proud to be able to play his film. After so many years of not earning money, there are always people investing, which can be regarded as a kind of honor for him.
Another tidbit is that Nola originally planned to use Kate Winslet, and then KW quit, the reason is to spend more time with family. Arguably at that point, fate had the ball on Scarlett Johansson's side.
