This is a song and dance film with narcissism and self-deprecation as the main tone, telling the story of a rambunctious song and dance director who died in his own way. "Smoke so many cigarettes, drink so much alcohol, engage in so many women, I knew there would be retribution." It is said that this film can be called the foresight autobiography of director Fox, and the content described in the film became ten years after its release. reality. In addition to the promiscuous women whom he has to call babes or sweethearts because he can't remember names, the hero Joe's life has four women who are always by his side: ex-wife, daughter, girlfriend, And a woman who exists only in her heart as a symbol of female perfection. He can date all the girls in the city, but requires his own women to be loyal to her (huh? Is he poisoned by Chinese feudal ethics). The ex-wife took the initiative to become his ex-wife because of his spoofing, the daughter was powerless about it, and the girlfriend was on the verge of going crazy in deeper helplessness and contradictions. No one can get close to his heart, he only communicates his thoughts and feelings with the non-existent woman (actually this character setup strikes me as contrived from start to finish). I really liked Roy Scheide's sweet and bitter smile, especially the way he waved goodbye to the car carrying his daughter in the heavy rain. It's not a sentimental movie, and the insensitivity to the musical makes it impossible for me to even say I liked it. The only thing I think is cute about these two lines of dialogue:
his girlfriend was not guaranteed the night while he was hospitalized. So, on the way to the operating room, he was dying and said to his ex-wife: "In case I die, I am sorry for the bad things I did to you." Then he said to his girlfriend: " In case I didn't die, I'm sorry for the bad things I've done to you."
