This is the first time I saw a Woody Allen movie. There are several interesting things about this movie. One is the absurd reversal of the plot, the second is the five abnormal characters in the play, and the third is Kate Winslet's performance. Surprise me. The whole story is a tragedy, but the setting of the environment background in the noisy and hilarious place of the playground has a sense of irony. In terms of the plot, a conflict was immediately introduced at the beginning of the movie. Hamdi's daughter, who had been separated for 5 years, came to seek his help. In just ten minutes, he introduced the past stories of the three protagonists and their current living conditions. Ginny and Hamdi are both second-married, two heartbroken and desperate people seeking comfort and making do with life. Hatim's daughter eloped with the gang boss when she was young, but now she is being hunted down by her husband and has nowhere to go to her father who has a bad relationship. As for the shaping of the characters, you can immediately feel the character characteristics of the three characters through a dialogue between the three people in the living room at the beginning. Ginny is emotional and neurotic, and her dissatisfaction with real life is manifested in various complaints. Don't let her husband drink, but secretly drink to relieve stress. Hamdi's appearance is very interesting. His rude and domineering speech and demeanor shows that he is a grumpy and rough man, has a problem with alcoholism, and is typical of machismo. He scolded his daughter first, then softened and then immediately greeted him with all kinds of greetings, as if a different person , In fact, he loves his daughter so much that it implies that he is extremely attached to his daughter. Daughter Carolina's dialogue with her stepmother and father shows her self-centered character, with the arrogance of young people. Then came the brief appearance of the younger son, who lay down on the bed with an indifferent expression and did not speak, and then learned from Ginny's words that he had a habit of arson. In short, there is no normal person in this family. Then in the middle of the film, a writer who fantasizes about drama plots all day, and is also an abnormal person, this scene is very interesting. The development of the whole story is divided into three stages. The turning point of the first stage is that Mickey appeared in Ginny's life, breaking her silent life. Ginny saw that this was an opportunity to escape from the boring life, deliberately seduced Mickey, and Mickey was keen on it. The thrill of having an affair with a married woman satisfies his self-proclaimed vanity as a romantic writer. The turning point of the second stage was that Mickey met Carolina again, and the two also had a spark. The relationship between Mickey and Ginny is no longer stable, and Ginny tries every means to keep Mickey's heart, but the gains outweigh the losses. The third stage is the climax of the movie. In order to prevent Mickey and Carolina from having a result, Ginny betrayed her soul and chose not to save her when she could save Carolina. From the climax of the movie to the movie The ending paragraph is very exciting, and the fragility and dark side of the human nature that each character suppresses and hides burst out. Let’s talk about Kate’s Ginny first. In fact, I guessed the story at the beginning was that she would take the initiative to reveal Carolina’s identity to the underworld who were chasing her, but now I think it’s better to be a screenwriter. After all, she gave up saving the one she hated. Compared with directly harming that person, it shows the complexity and darkness of human nature, and it also hits people more psychologically. Ginny has changed from a pitiful and desperate character to a sinister and hateful image. She is still pitiful. Perhaps viewers can understand her pain and her selfish mentality, but a moral judgment cannot forgive her actions. Then Hamdi, after the loss of his daughter, the weakness and helplessness in the face of life's blows hidden in his heart, madness and disorder immediately erupted, drinking and angering, and then begging Ginny not to leave him like a child, he looks like a strong man Psychologically a coward. Finally, Mickey is a kind of sarcastic existence. He thinks he has the romantic talent of a writer and the fraternity of saving others, but in fact he is just a big boy who only wants to live in his fantasy life. Love at first sight is an excuse for romance. Pursuing true love is an excuse to avoid responsibility. In the end, I don't think he really loves any women. They are just embellishments that enrich his life experience. As for Ginny's son, he is probably the happiest and frankest of all. He directly expresses his dissatisfaction with his life by arson. At the end of the film, he sets a fire on the beach where Mickey is in charge. I don't know if it implies that As a bystander he knew what was happening on this beach. Observing the life trajectory of everyone in the movie, Ginny is immersed in the fantasy that cheating can bring new life, Hamdi is immersed in the fantasy that her daughter will always be by her side, Mickey is immersed in the fantasy that romantic love can dramatize life, Carolina is immersed in the fantasy of not being responsible for the past. Each of them is like riding on a Ferris wheel. The fantasy can stay in the sky of their dreams. The result is just an illusory game. . There are also many details worth savoring throughout the film, such as the relationship between the characters and the color of the background lighting to suggest the mood and the direction of the story, and the two well-placed episodes always appear just right. Finally, to praise Kate, I compared Ginny to Mild in her other "Fantasy". They are also women who have been divorced and hurt. This time I saw a lot of new performance levels. Ginny's neuroticism And madness is much richer than that of Mild, especially at the end of the film Ginny's self-talk in a long shot, from undisguised joy to pretentious restraint, from self-defense and deceit to self-indulgent comical appearance. to meters Qi's questioning was flustered, and this performance was extremely impressive. No wonder Dwarf said that Kate's performance could compete for the Oscars, and it's a pity not to be selected.
