One cliché says that your attitude determines the life you lead. I think that's what the director tries to convey to the audience.
The director, Woody Allen, is a big shot in Hollywood. But I do not have the taste for this kind of film, in which the director explicitly wants to tell you something big or profound by using a witty plot. For me, a good film has more than meets the eyes. When you are watching the film, you do not realize the existence of the director. You are totally immersed in the story and sympathize with the hero or heroine when, suddenly, the story turns out contrary to your Then you realize the existence of the director and begin to think about the implication of the film.
