This should actually be regarded as a note rather than a film review

1. This is the first chapter in the Woody Allen city series-it's just that the midnight in the story doesn't matter much. Barcelona is a spring dream, Paris is a fantasy daydream, and New York is the real life of the director.

2. The 90-minute movie portrays the characters so richly and satisfactorily to meet the director’s skill-the hero is the director himself, the truth of the girl and the intelligence of the nature of things visible because of the truth, the self-deception of the male partner and his wife, the ex-wife’s Selfishness, as well as a female journalist—she doesn’t know herself: She keeps emphasizing that she is an orthodox Philly and how rational she is, but she is labeling herself, and in fact she is doing the opposite of the label. thing.

3. The central idea-the sentence that says we all die so we should all have some advantages; the reason why we have to live because we have something worth pursuing; and everyone is talking about it. The last sentence of —— have to be a little faithful to others. The last sentence is the superego of the director, he thinks there is something that he doesn’t have yet.

4. Many of the soundtracks are very retro, especially that reminds me of another great Jewish director and comedy master-Charlie Chaplin. I don't know if there is a meaning to pay tribute to him.

5. Many people think of the wife who last accompanied him to this day. She was 19 years old when they fell in love and was the adopted daughter of Woody's ex-girlfriend. Another example that can confirm the director Ai Loli, in fact, there is Whatever Works in 2009, which makes people feel interesting, correspondingly, he adjusted the age of the actor to be older. This doesn't make people think that there is anything wrong. The reason for their cuteness is not because of their more juicy bodies. In fact, I want to say, let us all have a girlish heart.

Thought of this temporarily. I love Woody Allen.

Manhattan quotes

  • [On her ex-husband]

    Mary Wilke: I was tired of submerging my identity to a very brilliant, dominating man. He's a genius.

    Isaac Davis: Oh really, he was a genius, Helen's a genius and Dennis is a genius. You know a lot of geniuses, y'know. You should meet some stupid people once in a while, y'know, you could learn something.

  • Isaac Davis: It's an interesting group of people, your friends are.

    Mary Wilke: I know.

    Isaac Davis: Like the cast of a Fellini movie.
