Fleeting years are fragile, grace is hard to return---remember the movie "Midnight in Barcelona"

Oh, Barcelona, ​​that sweet and seductive Spain! It seems that the theme of the soundtrack "Barcelona" at the beginning and end of the film is very good, and the guitar music is very bright, light and lovely. However, Woody Allen's honey-like and lively film naturally can't keep up with "Match Point". Only, like his old tune, it is always allegorical. All along, people have always been too pessimistic about love, "the only things people can't extricate themselves from are teeth and love". Woody Allen is old, and in "Midnight in Barcelona", he uses an ironic fable to describe the irresistible magic of sexiness and seduction.
The media say that Woody Allen is literary and has a problem with storytelling. Therefore, watching his film, first listen to the lines; second, enjoy the soundtrack; third, finally think about a series of puns and metaphors at the end. For example, in this "Midnight in Barcelona", the story is based on Juan's words, Life is short. Life is dull. Life is full of pain. This is a chance for something special. Life is so short, so dull and full of pain, It's to try something special. The very 1+1 perfect woman who Huan loved all his life finally met him with a blade, so why not think about it?
Spain, such a desirable place. I roughly remember that it was as cool and thin as Maugham, and when his writings arrived in Spain, they would always be replaced with a warm and mellow fragrance. García Márquez, the "Spanish bullfighter" in the novel world, his popular "Love in the Time of Cholera" shows the possibility of all love with a style that is close to European erotic novels. Cholera itself is a love disease." Although, in this novel, "everything is serious and measured".
In "Love in the Time of Cholera", Javier Bardem, who plays Ariza, is a sexy and rugged Spanish actor. Javier and fellow sexy stunner Penelope Cruz appeared in "Midnight Barcelona" at the same time, which is really a perfect match. Penelope is known as the "Spanish Tulip", and in the movie "Elegy", she is extremely beautiful and sexy. "Midnight in Barcelona" unearths her more neurotic artist temperament. "Midnight in Barcelona" earned Penelope Cruz an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress in 2009, and it also won a Golden Globe for Best Picture in the Musical/Comedy category.
Scarlett Johansson is one of the most famous sexy beauties in the world. Along with Penelope Cruz, though, her pale blonde hair color and sunny smile contrasted with Penelope and Rebecca Hall, appearing too pale and banal. Only the hero Javier still openly appeals to women with his naked sensuality and charm. Women, sex and Barcelona, ​​just like the theme music of the movie, so sweet and hearty, is the main theme that Woody Allen wants to sing briskly.
Barcelona is shrouded in a warm and romantic color from beginning to end, and famous attractions appear in the film in a beautiful manner, making people fascinated by the city even if they are not intoxicated by the beauty. However, although Barcelona is known as one of the most romantic cities, it is also a place where desire and passion are omnipresent, and watching a movie is no longer watching a movie, it is like traveling in pursuit of an affair. The wine, the beauty of Barcelona, ​​as well as the guitars and paintings, oh, and as light as the theme song, is a sweet and dangerous temptation!
In the film, Rebecca Hall is less sexy, more ordinary, but just kind. Juan summed up his one-night affair with Vicky in the words of his artist beloved wife, Only unfulfill love can be romantic. My actual impression of the movie is that, in this, the entanglement between Vicky and Juan is the most moving; the love between Vicky and Juan is the most sexy. Woody Allen offers escapades, debauchery, and polyamorous relationships seasoned with the artist's strong romance. In reality, Vicky is conservative and practical. Her requirements for men are serious and stable, and she does not allow betrayal and has no desire for derailment. She is the perfect understanding of responsibility and commitment. She is such a quiet and mature woman. The truth is, her big brown talking eyes are so full of tenderness, just like her coveted red lips, always so round and soft. She thought that she always knew what she wanted, and her theory was very firm and stubborn, but in reality, she couldn't resist the temptation from Juan. She especially loves Spanish guitars, and was so moved by the guitar music that she was the most dangerous woman. Ironically, she is tempted by Juan on the romantic Spanish guitar background. Her fiancé once thought it was the most difficult woman to bring to bed. Spanish wine, guitars and sexy artists confuse her. She knew what she wanted, but she didn't know what she didn't want. At the end of the film, she clearly knew that she was a woman who filled the vacancy in Juan's bedtime, but she still failed to resist the temptation to go to the appointment. In the final prelude to Juan dealing with women, she plausibly resists with a strong rebuttal. But Juan acted involuntarily. So, Aventure is a hidden bomb in everyone's body, especially a woman like Vicky. Many times we don't know what we want, but we only know what we don't want in the midst of rejection, and vaguely know what we are. Woody's shot at the end of the movie makes people laugh out loud. The Moral of the Shooting and Vicky's story is a horrific allegory of the erotic, wounded by a gun misfire. All this has a touch of irony and pity. In real life, a well-behaved woman, who originally lowered her eyebrows and bowed her head under the dense net of the secular world, was proud of her bowing her head, but through accidental omissions, she glimpsed the world outside the network, and glimpsed the void and beauty of her heart.
Christina, who has a special pursuit of blond sex in love, is the opposite of Vicky. She doesn't know what she wants, only what she doesn't want. In the film, what Christina doesn't want is to share Juan with Elena at the same time. In that story, Woody arranged an equally allegorical scene, where Christina, Irina and Juan ride their bikes all the way to the outskirts of camping, very much like the famous bisexual movie "Jane and Jones" "There is also a Woody allegory hidden here. In Christina's chaotic love story with Juan and Irina bisexuality, Woody also arranged for Christina to speak a very nice Chinese "Hello". The blonde sexy beauty Scarlett Johansson has always been on the screen, but the Spanish beauty Penelope Cruz, who has just encountered the brown-haired artistry in the movie, has become pale. This movie can't help but make people suspicious. "Midnight in Barcelona" is about easy "love" and easy "sex". If it is in China, that kind of love and emotion that is especially implicit in ancient culture, is it Woody? Can you understand and achieve perfection? It's a mystery, Spain is warm romance, lust and passion are omnipresent. What about China?
Elena said that only imperfect love is the most romantic; true love, perhaps, is only the most perfect love that cannot be reached! This is another story. Woody Allen was filming in Spain, but he didn't come to Beijing.
