Woody Allen and Dostoevsky, Match Point and Crime and Punishment. What is the match point? The match point is the turning point in the process, the pause point on the arc, the point in time when the tennis hits the net, and it means possibility. Possibilities mean choices. At first glance, this choice involves the chooser. When the possibility becomes a reality, the end will come. He feels that his every move has a causal connection. Now is the time for him to function rationally. He constantly calculates the wind speed, direction, and opponent's movement trajectory. He decides to smash the ball. . Yes, it was time for him to win because he was well prepared and he worked so hard. But Woody Allen said, you're wrong, it's not like that. Didn't you see that old lady's ring didn't cross the net? Wait, Wilton's plan failed, he was about to get caught, he lost. At this critical point, he chose to turn back and throw the ring. The ring didn't fall into the river. It was his own fault, and he had to take responsibility. But in the end, the audience and Wilton discovered together that the decision was not important, because the choice on the match point seemed to determine the ending, but it was not.
The final battle became a battle of luck and guilt, and in "Crime and Punishment," Thors honestly let the latter win, and we suffered with Raskolnikov. But Woody Allen is so cheesy, big clips of foreplay, and then suddenly caught us off guard. In the film, Wilton is in a hurry and confused. How can such an ending be considered an ending? Will Wilton still have the rest of his life, will he get tired of confronting the dead Nora? American-style success does not require inner torture. Wilton is really a lucky dog, he is lucky, but think about it again, is he still a person?
Whether Woody Allen was sarcastic, we don't know, but he was by no means religious. This is the crux of the movie. Match Point is a good movie. There is no lack of reflection, but I always feel that something is missing. Is it time? Probably everyone's regret.
