deep in my heart

There is no relationship in this world that is not dependent on and tormenting each other. Husbands and wives have their own strengths and weaknesses. The various influences between mother and daughter can also be a net that binds themselves. People spend their whole lives loving each other and hurting each other. , as Eileen Chang said: tie them together and fall down. This kind of frustrated pessimism is obviously not the tone of Woody Allen, so the movie "Inside My Heart", despite using all the colors, props, layout and language it should have, it still lacks a moving inner strength.

The usual Woody Allen movie where several people chatter at the same time does not appear, and we will be surprised at the reticence of the characters in the film, at least, after one person finishes speaking, the other person speaks. The role of mother should have been hysterical complaining about quarreling and breaking things, but Woody treated her as a silent and secret collapse. I should have felt the sense of tragedy created by this forbearance neuroticism, but still not, maybe I understand it too clearly When I was watching a Woody Allen movie, there was always a voice in my heart saying: What kind of tragedy can he make.

Instead of the usual cluttered Manhattan of Woody Allen films, we see vast oceans and well-organized, monochromatic, uncrowded rooms. In such a simple layout, a complex emotional entanglement is often prepared to be staged. The picture of the mother committing suicide twice is handled very beautifully. In the room, an elegant woman in a long black dress is slowly lying on the sofa waiting to die. The seaside is still this fragile and elegant woman who drowns herself in the waves. These two pictures alone can probably feel the sense of tragedy that Woody Allen deliberately created, but they are still not powerful enough. The problem is not local but the whole.

Some people say that Woody Allen is satirizing women, but I don't even see the irony. Isn't this film celebrating women? For example, the eldest daughter and her husband quarreled before going out. The daughter said, I create things, and the husband turned around and murmured Muttering, yeah, you create, and even though it's hard to accept as a man, there's nothing ironic about it. The father of the three girls is fed up with the seemingly happy but empty family, and announces at the dinner table that he is going to leave, to find himself, and to spend a pleasant old age, but what did he find, a man in a red dress. Passionate girl, he just leaves one woman and falls into the arms of another woman, hey, what do you want me to say, man, what life do you have without a woman? It is better to say that it is satirizing a woman than a man. When a woman fully expresses her various thoughts and feelings in her heart, a man is just a simple blank and weak shadow on the side.
