Lies, lies appear throughout the development of the film, Sandra, Sydney, Peter, everyone lives in lies. Peter's character is a blatant lie, he kills, and then carries out another round of murder to cover up this act; Sandra approaches Peter with a lie, pretends to be drowning, and Sydney pretends to be father and daughter, and pretends to be high society. , even the name is fake, but fortunately, Lie saved her life in the end, and escaped from the murderer's eyes by feigning drowning with the trick at the beginning.
Woody's Sydney is a magician, and the profession itself is full of deceit. Sandra ridiculed Sydney's magician profession as "deceiving people all his life". It's a lot of hype, but compared with other people in costumes and beasts, Sydney is the most real one. He stabs his friend in the back, pulls himself into a dangerous situation, and begins an independent investigation while Sandra is lured away from the truth by lust. Behind Sini's babbling nonsense, lies the truth of the case and the truth of human nature.
Whether Peter is a murderer or not, this question has become the rope that leads the plot forward, and also tightly wraps the story on this story. Hugh Jaegman's demeanor made people suspect that his suspicions were wrong. Here, the movie also showed a lie. Everyone was willing to believe that Peter didn't kill people. The protagonists are both heroes who fall in love, and we all look forward to the ending of the love. The first half of the movie deceives the eye, and the murderer has a side that looks perfect.
After all, this is Woody Allen's 41st film. To put it bluntly, compared with the pinnacle of "Annie Hall", this film is quite mediocre, even the Woody Allen film's The average is not up to par. It's just that as a Woody-esque Woody film, Scoop is consistently absurd, always magically real, always has a director, always rambling and disorganized.
Woody Allen is very talkative in his films, and loves to take out his ideas, his life, his childhood, etc. for lengthy discussions. Whether his film is a drama or a tragedy, at the end of the film, when Sydney's car drove out of the screen, there was a crash sound, and at the end, Sydney appeared on the ghost ship and continued to chatter. I didn't find it funny, it was more absurd. grief.
Although Hugh Jaegerman is very handsome, after watching the film, I still feel that the power of the handsome guy is much inferior to the shriveled and sullen old man played by Woody. A genius is a genius, and although some are late, some are different.
