Extreme situation + jokes shaking the burden + Hollywood-style bright tail, once again properly reproduce the old man's film craftsmanship. A sparking idea about blindness came out, add a few sticks of firewood to touch the laughter, and pour a few drops of gasoline on the old man's comedy experience and dramatic talent, and the fire of an eye-catching film will burn as it wishes. stand up. This is the charm of old Woody. It seems natural and simple, but it can attract the audience in its own way, and stay in front of the screen honestly, willing to be led by the nose.
Going away from the old man’s usual ramblings in the middle of the film (the part of the comedy jokes when the down-and-out director is blind), after watching the whole film, when the director and his ex-wife are bathed in the bright sunshine, they get into the car that has been waiting for a long time, da da da When I set off for the ideal Paris, I suddenly had a feeling of "a dream of Red Mansions" in "A dream of Red Mansions". This cunning old man forced the absurd factor of reality into the surface irony.
As the two core characters of the film, director Wolf and ex-wife Ellie, both are in a situation where they have to make a choice. For Wolf, who was psychologically blind due to the pressure of filming, he bluntly admitted that he would permanently lose the opportunity to turn over his career as a director, so he had to bite the bullet and choose blind filming; for Ellie, on the one hand, the wealthy film investor is currently On the one hand, there is a talented ex-husband who has fallen into psychological blindness. At first, he could not tell whether it was because of love or sympathy. In short, Ellie's balance in her heart was already in favor of her ex-husband, and she chose to conceal and secretly help her ex-husband to continue to conceal.
Around the core of Wolf's blindness incident, the film is full of jokes, and at the same time, the dramatic contradictions and conflicts naturally move forward and continue to escalate. So movie-goers will hang their hearts in their throats from time to time, waiting for when and how this conflict bomb, which has been planted from the beginning, will explode. In mobilizing the audience's emotions and tastes, the old man is indeed very skilled. This astute guy really knows what the audience wants. Of course, the old man knows exactly what the critics want. So in this Hollywood-style ending, Old Man Woody played to his heart's content. A film under a blind director was criticized by film critics as a horrific shit in Hollywood, but it was regarded as a great work in American history in far away France. A little bit of the old man's self-deprecating reality, but a small group of people in the world may think that this is probably a so-called genius joke.
Yes, it is like that. There are thousands of mysterious faces in this world. Each of us is simply choosing, choosing which one we want to see.
