Long-winded opening: The reason this is Woody Allen's "last" movie is because Amazon canceled the title of his next film, "A Rainy Day in New York," after the 2017-2018 Hollywood anti-sexual assault scandal. Released (starring Timothy Chalamet in "Call Me By Your Name"), and intends to terminate his contract with Woody. Because of the pressure of public opinion, it may be difficult for a filmmaker to cooperate with Woody... Whenever this kind of incident occurs, many innocent people are always dragged into the water. In fact, what should be concerned about this kind of thing is the parties who go through legal procedures or the rules of the industry The makers should not target the actors who acted because of their work relationships. Kate once praised Woody Allen for being delicate and talented. She doesn't know Woody's personal affairs and is unwilling to speak about it and maintain a working relationship. However, the pressure of public opinion has always made people unable to help themselves... In real life, we Isn't everyone being pushed away by the Ferris wheel...
Closer to home, the combination of Oscar winner Kate Winslet and Woody Allen is definitely expected. [The Ferris wheel that returns to the ground is the best ending. ] In this movie, although the name is "Ferris Wheel", the Ferris Wheel is actually just a background, it may mean the fiery desire of the heroine Ginny (played by Kate Winslet), the stepdaughter Carolina (played by Kate Winslet). Juno Temple) good expectations and Mickey's (Justin Timberlake) dreams... This summer, they all yearn for romance and love to get them out of the quagmire of life, but the result is often with people Against wishes. This is not a complete chatter movie, although there are a lot of lines, but I personally don't think it's a chatter. Kate's character Ginny was a young and promising drama actress who lost her career and dream life because of marriage and betrayal. She talked to her son about her illustrious past, her charming looks, her great acting, her glorious stage, and how her son's biological father was a musician. She told Mickey, the object of her affair, in the quiet Chinese garden: At present, she is only playing the role of "waiter"... When it comes to life and "roles", she becomes emotionally uncontrollable. In the family she is a housewife dealing with various complicated affairs, in the restaurant she is a slightly down-to-earth waiter, and in front of her lover she is a well-dressed and charming lady. The arrival of her husband and daughter, who was hunted down by the underworld, added more trouble to her life. She often collapsed, had headaches, and took medicine, and she could never get used to the noise of the amusement park. ——However, this is not Blue Jasmine 2.0. Ginny is not a lady, or she has not lived a truly rich and rich life at all. Like Jasmine, she is also neurotic and dissatisfied with her existing life, but she is more It is her fiery desire for love, her life is exchanged for love, and she is constantly in the process of burning fire. Her son who likes to play with fire is her own portrayal. She had a bright future when she was young, and her first marriage seemed to be beautiful, but in fact her heart was not satisfied, she longed for a new relationship, and she also betrayed her husband. When facing Mickey for the second time, she said that she "repeat the same mistakes". Mickey's romantic and drama-loving identity just corresponds to Ginny's taste. Maybe after she is really with Mickey, she will continue to reincarnate her own story, and has been in the process of being rescued and self-immolating - just like the seemingly colorful Ferris wheel, constantly rising and falling...
In the movie, the light and shadow on their faces kept changing, sometimes cold and sometimes warm. Photography and multicolored light are a major attraction of the film. Photography is by Oscar winner Vittorio Storaro. Kate Winslet and Juno Temple play unrelated mother and daughter, and this setting is easy to think of Kate's other miniseries "Desire". But the difference is that the stepdaughter is more like a "silly white sweet". The appearance of such a character is a great threat to the heroine Ginny. The stepdaughter is blonde, young and beautiful, and soon won the love of Mickey . When facing her stepdaughter's request for help, she was extremely manic. But stepdaughter Carolina never knew about her stepmother's relationship with her lover, and she never thought about hurting anyone. And Mickey, the lifeguard played by Justin Timberlake, didn't actually make a special play, but he was very suitable for such a role and image. This movie also suffered a lot because of the incident with Woody Allen. In fact, the movie itself is not bad. Kate Winslet contributed the most attentive performance since the posthumous award, crashing, mad, and trying to save lives The woman with straw and heavy make-up finally returned to peace and a simple and trivial life. Rather than saying she was playing the "waiter", it was a waiter who was playing the "actor". The heroine is not the only one who wants to escape. The stepdaughter Carolina, her husband, and her lover, Mickey, all want to escape. However, I personally believe that the real liberation or salvation does not depend on anyone, or on an illusory and fragile relationship. The control of life is actually always in my own hands. How the story ends: everyone goes back to their lives, the stepdaughter is gone, Ginny's feelings are gone, and the son is still on fire. Mickey goes back to lifeguard to tell us this ridiculous story.
Finally, to borrow a sentence from Ruili Xiurui in the short review: "In the summer in Italy, the teenager gained an unforgettable experience in his life and won praise. But in the summer in Coney Island, the marriage ended up in prison, and the audience refused to resonate." There is always a realistic side. After all, can you really fly into the blue sky when you board the Ferris wheel? The falling Ferris wheel is the best ending.
