For more than a year, Trump has been the only presidential candidate to have appeared in nearly 50 Woody Allen films. Now, he's the only president to have appeared in nearly 50 Woody Allen films.
Allen and Trump are two New Yorkers who are natives. They grew up outside of Manhattan. As adults, they moved from Brooklyn and Queens respectively to the surrounding Central Park. Although they do not live next to each other, they are undoubtedly in the upper class.
From the scope of Woody Allen's activities, the south of Pennsylvania Station is roughly equivalent to Mexico, and the north of 96th Street is almost Canada. It's no surprise that the duo overlapped in places they frequented, such as Lincoln Center, the Metropolitan Museum, Carnegie Hall, and Madison Square Garden.
In an interview with the media, Allen expressed his thoughts on an election year. He said he often had the chance to meet Trump in Manhattan, and it was very pleasant to get along, so it was difficult to imagine how Trump as a candidate could have said those words. Allen sees no chance of Trump winning.
Woody Allen told the "Chicago Sun", "I think he (Trump) is very interesting, he is always very polite, very friendly. I used him in a movie once, and he is a very outgoing performer. But I can't see him being president, not for a second. I can't see that he really has any idea of being a serious presidential candidate himself."
Misjudgment of Trump's candidacy and election Of course there is more than one, who can blame Woody Allen?
Trump's Woody Allen movie was 1998's "Celebrity," where he appeared in New York's "most exciting restaurant" to customers all of the Big Apple's wealthiest and most famous residents, including Real estate agents, senators and gossip queens, and indeed Trump.
About 1 hour and 27 minutes into the movie, TV host Robin, who was interviewing at the restaurant, walked up to Trump with a camera. He was at the table with three female companions, none of whom I could see were any of his three successive wives, Zenikova, Maples, and Melanie.
"Look who's here, Donald Trump!" host Robin said. "What projects are you working on lately?"
Trump replied, "Well, I'm buying St. Patrick's Church, maybe tearing it down, and building a very, very tall and beautiful building." The
host said, "Great."
Trump appeared about 15 seconds, not a single frame of which is related to politics. As an artist, Woody Allen's attitude towards political topics is relatively clear, and he generally avoids head-to-head news events, very different from the American late night comedy show. Comedy shows pursue instant effects, Trump's unique Twitter text or Melanie's speech passages that are directly appropriated without saying hello, these events may become hot topics at the moment, but the shelf life is short, and the time to take off the shelves is also fast. As an American stand-up comedian, Allen may have to pursue these topics, but as an artist and a filmmaker who pursues lasting effects, Allen often chooses to avoid it.
During Trump's campaign, as the owner of the "Miss America" beauty pageant, he was more accustomed to judging women's body indicators, tall, short, fat and thin. I once figured out a reason not to support him because of this. I am concerned that if Trump is elected, he may significantly overhaul the Statue of Liberty. After cosmetic surgery, weight loss, breast augmentation and other surgeries, in terms of height, weight, measurements and other indicators, Trump's version of the Statue of Liberty will be closer to the 21st century Miss Beauty Pageant, rather than the 19th century representing freedom, equality, and fraternity For French women, the gown must be replaced by a bikini.
This kind of joke is not entirely original, the inspiration comes from Woody Allen.
There is a line in Allen's film Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989), "My love life is terrible, remember the last time I was in a woman's body was when I visited the Statue of Liberty." (My love life is terrible. . The last time I was inside a woman was when I visited the Statue of Liberty.)
After Trump was elected, my feelings changed. Whether running for him or against him, as a member of civil society, I feel the need to show respect and see how he carries the burden of the White House. At this time, the connection between Trump and the Statue of Liberty is not necessarily so close, and Woody Allen's lines are more alive. The former is taken from news topics, which can easily lose its freshness. The latter, which deals with life's core issues like love and sex, are clearly more enduring.
Woody Allen once said, "There is a connection between political participation and excessive masturbation."
This does not mean that he is out of politics, his political stance is actually as transparent as crystal, liberal or conservative? Democrat or Republican? It's easier to get answers than to poke around.
With the exception of Western stars such as John Wayne and Clint Eastwood, the American film industry is all liberal. Judging from the turbulent cash flow, Hollywood has always been the ATM machine for Democratic candidates.
There are other bellwethers, such as more than 70% of Jews voting for the Democratic Party. Except for the first-generation Chinese voters who were more active on WeChat in 2016, almost all atheists in the United States voted for the Democratic Party. Obviously, as a largely godless Jew, the odds of Woody Allen siding with the Republican Party are close to zero.
