Our hero David is a self-proclaimed artist. He created a perfect script to be staged on Broadway. The famous producer JulianMarx also took the risk to bring in the investment of the gangster to David, but the additional condition is that the black The eldest's girlfriend olive participated, but for this scene, David didn't want to accept it from the beginning. When he met, he was sweating profusely when he knew that his work was ruined by a third-rate singer who didn't understand drama. Waking up in the middle of the night and shouting: "I am a prostitute, I sold myself to the devil" This plot setting really allows the audience to fully see a David who is obsessed with art, but the arrogant artist in front of reality finally decides to compromise in order to succeed, Then he started his own road to fame. After the formal rehearsal of the drama, David began to compromise again and again. From sweating profusely at the beginning to disapproval at the end, he began to succeed. At the same time, a key character, Cheech The appearance makes the film's satire even more profound. Cheech, a gangster who has never been to school, turned out to be a writing genius. He used his talent time and time again to help David revise the script, thus making David successfully move towards the art of being intoxicated. In the circle, he began to gradually become compromised until before the last performance, he began to persuade cheech like a philistine businessman to endure Olive's crappy acting skills, but cheech is the real artist, he should not have the slightest bit about his works. blemishes, so cheech brutally killed olive in order to keep his works from being defiled, only at this moment did he realize how much cheech was like David at the beginning or in fact he was more like an artist than David, he desperately protected his own The works are not harmed by anyone, and David lost himself in the entertainment world of lavish money, abandoned his lover, abandoned his ideals and art and succumbed to the power.

He wanted to reunite with the person he loved and live an ordinary life of his own. That's how the whole movie ends.
The film is filled with Woody Allen's dark humor and irony from beginning to end. It is not so much that Woody Allen is satirizing the artist, but that Woody Allen is advising the group of guys who call themselves artists to recognize their talents. is the most important. Lost in the ocean of money, the hypocritical artist will fall to the altar sooner or later, but the real artist will never be lost. Maybe returning to your true self is the best ending. The death of cheech satirized all art dealers, who made a living by selling art and defiled art all the time, but a gangster who seemed to know nothing about art was defending his own art with his life. At the beginning of the film everyone thought that David had written a good script, and then everyone was amazed when the script written by Cheech was put in front of everyone, this time satirizing all Broadway artists, Woody Once again, it shows us the relationship between genius and art. Art is the work of genius, and no matter how hard ordinary people try, it will be in vain.
At the end of the film, the real artist dies and the hypocritical artist is awakened and returned to the right life. Sometimes art and money are always so contradictory. The realization of art requires money, the life of an artist needs money, art can also bring money, and money also needs art to decorate one's courtyard.
They live together here, and there are many lost people, and it may be too late to wake up.
