I don't know much about Woody Allen, and I haven't seen a few of his movies. I'm just a general audience writing this review with my feelings about the movie itself.
At the beginning of the story, the heroine Ginny gave us the first impression of an ordinary middle-aged woman who worked as a waiter in a restaurant, and then the daughter of his current husband came to take refuge, which led to the hidden story.
Ginny used to be a stage actress who considered herself literate, high-level, and different from everyone in Coney Island. She married her current husband without any love, but after she betrayed her ex, two helpless people rely on each other, but the pain and hopelessness after betraying her ex did not make Ginny willing to return to a loyal and monotonous life. An affair, with lifeguard Mickey. Mickey is handsome, romantic, and loves drama, which makes her feel that she has found someone who can understand her, but what she doesn't know is that her sensitivity, anxiety, neuroticism and emotionality have not heated up their feelings, but are gradually crushing them. Mickey, destroy their relationship. The appearance of Carolina is a turning point. Of course men like young and beautiful women, which is normal, but wise men, although they will like beautiful women, they value the inner and wisdom of women more, they need A woman who cultivates both inside and outside. In fact, from the very beginning when Mickey was struggling to choose Ginny or Carolina, he chose to forget Karolina. It can be seen that he has feelings for Ginny, but Ginny's nervousness and suspicion made him want to escape. . If Ginny is a woman who is independent, has her own ideas and is not so attached to love, then I think Mickey will definitely choose her, but the reality is that Ginny is not. Her life is like a spinning Ferris wheel, rising to the highest point, and then slowly descending, going round and round again and again...
At the end of the story, Ginny is standing on the window sill blowing the wind, I always thought she was going to jump, which may be too dramatic, but Woody Allen gave the ending of Ginny looking into the distance with empty eyes Said to cook, do laundry... This is the essence of life, we are powerless to break free, and we do not have the courage to die, so we can only cowardly choose to stay where we are, and we are so mourning...
Maybe the best choice is to open the door and go out when the Ferris wheel is at its lowest point, but how many people can take this step...
