Woody Allen's 2009 hilarious comedy. Continuing the usual black humor + irony, the male protagonist is replaced by a nagging old man Boris, and the female protagonist is a youthful young Ai melody!

Boris is a genius in physics, but he is cynical but very afraid of death, speaks acerbic, and only talks to 2 friends of the same age every day, and teaches some children to play chess every day, but he looks disgusted. I once had a failed marriage. I became neurotic and anxious because my wife cheated. Finally, I attempted suicide because of a divorce, and I became a lame man.

Melody is a 21-year-old girl, cheerful, lively and beautiful. When he ran away from home and met Boris, 2 seemingly irrelevant people got married. To be honest, this group is really like a patient and a caregiver. No wonder Melody's mother fainted with fright when she learned about the marriage of the two.

Later, melody filed for divorce from Boris after meeting the handsome randy, and Boris jumped off the building again? But met another woman with her.

As for melody's mother, who was a devout Catholic, she met Boris's friend after living in New York, and later she met another man with a ménage à trois! Recognize her true self and realize her true life.

And melody's dad knew he was gay because he met a guy in a bar in New York?

Woody uses the experiences of these people to write about the absurdity of society. For example, Boris is cynical, feels that life has no meaning but is very afraid of death, has anxiety, speaks harsh but nagging, and has a lot of truth every day but flaunts himself Is a genius, ridiculous and absurd. But at the same time, it is also said that although life is ridiculous, there are new surprises everywhere, as long as you are willing to discover, whatever works!
