An eye-pleasing masterpiece

At the age of 73, Woody Allen is still energetic and has directed works one after another in recent years. Although the quality varies, there are still occasional surprises. "Midnight in Barcelona" fully captures the beauty of Spain, just looking at the picture is already refreshing. The polyamorous and even homosexual love depicted in the story is interesting and comfortable, but because it is placed in such a beautiful environment, I suddenly feel that everything is possible. The mental journey of the people in the play is not something that the average 60-year-old old man can imagine, just because he is Woody Allen.

Penélope Cruz's performance as a neurotic painter is flawless, proving that it's not just Pedro Almodóvar who knows how to shape her. Winning an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress wasn't lucky. It's a big mistake for Hollywood to think she's the vase all the time. Scarlett Johansson, in Woody Allen's third consecutive film as the female lead, continues to be the object of the director's sexual fantasies. Javier Bardem returns to the handsome man image, and the character's psychological struggles look good.

A delightful love movie. Looking forward to the director's new work.

    Architecture, painting, photography, music, poetry is this a hodgepodge of art? ! The result of wanting to take part in everything is that everything is only a shallow taste, and it seems that I understand something but actually nothing is expressed. Fortunately, there are a lot of beautiful women, so I can enjoy it to the fullest.

    In Woody's film, the men chattering is also obviously a bit of a high-level intellectual, and they look silly but a little cute; the women are helpless when they chatter.
