Through the eyes of a blind director to analyze the indifference of Hollywood

Just by looking at the name, you know that Woody Allen is using his own unique way to satirize the rigidity and ruthlessness of Hollywood. A flustered and funny little old man kept waving his hands, as if he was slapping Hollywood in the face, bowing from side to side, humiliating Hollywood, and said with a smile, "Don't be angry, I'm just kidding you, it's really funny." Black belly. The most delicate thing in the film is his ex-wife's love and support for her when he was blind, but not the blind one, and his manager's consideration and care for him. The last line of the film is great, "Every husband should be blind for a while..." --Woody Allen wrote, directed and starred in "Hollywood Endings"
