It's not that the filming is bad, but because the author's attitude is disgusting, the level of narcissism is staggering, and all the good-looking parts are directly copied from Godard. Anyone who sees the middle-class satire in the film will be hard-pressed to agree. The author himself is actually more pretentious than all the characters in the film, using every opportunity to satirize things and people he doesn't like. There are also some rambunctious fantasies that are vulgar, further exposing the author's seemingly cynical, but in fact narcissistic, arrogant nature. The author has no intention of introspecting at all. To be extreme, this film can be regarded as a collection of boring complaints after the author's own failed relationship. He has no intention of reflecting on anything, and I am very willing to believe that many of the details in the film are the true portrayal of Woody Allen himself. Otherwise why would he have to play the role that clearly doesn't suit him - ugly, bald, old-fashioned, with a bad accent and bad acting. To expect such a person to have any great feelings is simply a fantasy. wake up! Stop kneeling and licking, he is just complaining, and you still buy it. But Diane Keaton and the characters themselves are unexpectedly fresh and refined. If this nasty emotion was the author's own intention, then even if he succeeded, I would still hate the film. It's a movie that doesn't go wrong in every way, but I just don't like it. For someone who thinks he's quite rational, it's a strange thing for a movie to make me hate it like this.
