"Ferris Wheel" - Woody Allen's tragic story set in a playground full of laughter, Ferris wheel-like life and emotions, everything from the highest point to the lowest point. What is amazing in the play is the use of lighting, the lighting changes from one mirror to the end, everything looks beautiful under the saturated orange light, but with the appearance of cool blue light, everything has been fragmented. The movement of the actors and the use of the camera make the whole movie a stage play. The heroine Ginny's superb acting skills make people feel her anxiety about reality, yearning for desire and love. It's just that everything is a cloud of the past. The boy who was taught by adults but still played with fire was the only brave person in the play. After all people experience the burning and extinguishing of the fire of desire in their hearts, they begin to return to real life and continue to endure various problems in real life. And the little boy still set his own fire, still protecting his inner fire from being extinguished. This film, like so many American films, is not about storytelling, but about showing a certain attitude to life. The Ferris wheel is also a very expressive prop. It does not appear many times in the play, but at the beginning, the people who are as dense as ants lying on the beach under the Ferris wheel are actually going round and round in the choice of reality and desire.

    Woody Allen's new film is essentially a stage play that takes place on the screen. The design of the main scene using different tones of lighting to emphasize different atmospheres and emotions reflects DP's full excavation and presentation of materials. Woody's sophisticated scheduling and Needless to say, the characters who are not endowed with good and evil are shackled by escalating situations and must choose between doing good and evil to escape, and the strong existential anxiety is still one of his author's marks.
