Honestly, if the director wasn't Woody Allen, I don't think I'd ever watch such a clichéd European classic - one that's played out countless times over the ages, and the personal tennis coach, oh, It's too classic.
The princess and the poor boy, the prince and Cinderella, Cinderella was abandoned by the prince, but the poor boy fell in love with her. Of course, he would never give up the princess and the high life for Cinderella's beauty. When he found that things could no longer be covered, he killed him. Dead Cinderella.
Yes, that's the story, it couldn't be more corny, but it didn't matter because Woody Allen was a master storyteller. He can hold your nerves until the end of the movie, telling old stories in new ways. This is called skill.
The climax of the movie, Chris throws the ring and bounces back to the ground, he almost collapses in the police station but turns the tide, the detective's dream, everything brings the heart to the throat, but Woody Allen uses a clever The ending is easily resolved, and echoes the opening scene of tennis hitting the edge of the block - victory or defeat, it all depends on luck. Yes, the genius of Woody Allen is that the same plot that can make you think, "Oh, it's going to die," only to find out later that it's actually the winning trick.
There's always a sense of guilt in this kind of movie, because you have to be frightened by a villain for tens of minutes, and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers managed to play a sullen, mean-spirited poor boy who has never been in a movie before. Less silly movies, including Ang Lee's "Ride with the Devil", the only thing worth mentioning is "Velvet Goldmine" eight years ago, this time it won the Golden Globe Award, congratulations.
PS: Scarlett Johansson, who was born in 1984, is still so likable. He has appeared frequently in recent years. There will be a "scoop" by Woody Allen coming out soon, looking forward to it.
