Love that has nothing to do with violets

I remember watching the film a long time ago, and the most unforgivable thing is that at that time, I still watched the English subtitles, and of course, with my sister's translation. Recently, I read it again on Western Society and Culture, and it is still in English. The only thing that is a little gratifying. It is my understanding that there has been some progress compared to the last time, but the only thing I am worried about is that these improvements can only be described as "some". . . . . . .

Woody allen is one of the most personal directors I think, writing, directing, and acting. The way the story is told is usually humorous and ironic. . . . . These are the official statements, and I will not repeat them here. All in all, he is a very playful and lovely old man.

His films have always been known for their humorous satire and even absurdity. Of course, some nonsensical love is indispensable in it. "annie hall" is a film I like very much, although my friend said that the male lead is a bit too much. . . That, but why is that all our Allen? Are you satisfied with Little Jay?


Not too far away, I believe everyone knows Woody, but unfortunately, the lovely Woody was neglected in our class. Apart from the teacher, I, and a few classmates who were easy to get involved watched with relish. The rest were almost All drowsy. Could it be because of the first class? The truth is not. Everyone was quite interested in the sci-fi film that was released last time. It would be too far-fetched to hear those boys feel "fake" about the characters coming off the screen. Don't bother with those lousy hobbies that hide your interest in more boring movies... that's



too far gone?



The film seems to be a product of the 1980s. At the beginning of the film, some people complained, why is it so old. In fact, it is not. The film takes place in the Great Depression era, and the slightly outdated scenes can be seen to be deliberately drawn at a glance. The story takes place in a small town where woody emphasizes the depression to the fullest - just look at the empty streets, small restaurants crowded with people doing nothing to chat and complain. There is also a sad-looking protagonist.

People who are escaping from the helpless reality play boring games every day, and go to the only small theater in town to watch the same plays every day. Because only in this way can make them forget everything around them for the time being, and they are helpless, depressed, depressed and lost...

Our heroine is just such a person who, with a fantasy of the beauty of the world in the movie, covers up everything in her life that is unsatisfactory: a sloppy job, a rude and inconsiderate husband, a meager salary... So in the movie theater, over and over again In the movie that she watched repeatedly, in the world of movie madness, she found the world she expected in her heart, and found the perfect male protagonist in her heart. And then at that moment, just in that short moment, a miracle happened^ the

perfect male protagonist could actually walk off the screen, and all the impossible finally became a reality.

If it is romantic, there is no doubt that the dialogue of the leading actor's movie lines completely captures Sicilia's heart. Although she has always emphasized that she is married, it can only be interpreted as necessary "reservation"; Ridiculous, really ridiculously ridiculous, when everyone sees that the male protagonist pays the waiter a lot of money and explains how much the tips are, when they are halfway through their kiss, they suddenly ask "where is thefate out" (Why not turn the shady scene?), everyone couldn't help but feel childish and ridiculous, but when the male protagonist explained the relationship between love and sex to prostitutie very seriously, we couldn't help but be moved by his devotion and romance. It's a movie, a movie-like plot. What woody wants to show us is probably the ambiguous entanglement between the movie and reality.

Next, the male protagonist outside the movie appears. The story begins to move towards a more complicated entanglement. The contradiction between fantasy, the choice between romance and reality, Sicilia finally chose the reality of the lie, this is the final limitation of a woman in reality, not only because it was the era of the Great Depression. She hopes to change her life , However, the secular life finally defeated the prosperous world in the movie.

So we saw that Tom turned around reluctantly at the end, and finally left the screen with a smile of understanding. I prefer to understand it as a smile, ironic Smile.

Swinging love, when put in front of reality, all the cover up is in vain. We can't blame Sicilia, because this choice is not difficult to understand. Falling in love with a person who is nothing is only a feeling, just It's just a feeling.

Love is no match for reality, it's a cruel thing.

When the final lie of the film is exposed, when we see Sicilia sitting in the movie theater, with tears in her eyes, trying to see the tom dancing on the screen, the two worlds will no longer meet, and the fairy tale will come to an end.
What woody showed us turned out to be sadness after laughing, it turned out to be tragedy at the end of a comedy. The original setting of this story turned out to be a gloomy tone.

    Young Woody is so imaginative and romantic, and most importantly, realistic.

    Derived from Sherlock Holmes II, the predicament of existentialism is transformed into a dream this time, "real people want the fiction of their lives, and fictional people want the reality of their lives", the perfect fusion of noumenon and carrier, film, reality , the actors, the characters, and the reality that floats like an amusement park, it's all love. Remember the line, "How amazing, you have sex without fading?" Tom later refused to have sex at the brothel, preventing the fading.
