talk about yourself

Woody Allen's movies, the more you watch, the more you are attracted, as if it is a kind of magic, and the more you know about him, the more you will be seduced by his magic. Every time I think of the first time I saw his movie, I was confused and thought it was weird, but now I am addicted to it because of this weirdness. The music, the lines, the shots, and the story of the film, these are the factors that gradually made me like it, which is the whole of the film.

on film

As for the ending of the movie, I still didn't think in advance that it was he who fell, not her. The ending of Woody Allen always made my predictions be wrong, probably because of my limited knowledge. Game End Point, too, I was pleasantly surprised, it wasn't quite what I expected.

For the confusion and emptiness of life, I don’t know how I will live tomorrow, and I don’t know if I will die in the next second. For me, I might wake me up with a song, or a movie, or because of a dream in my heart, etc. But for him in the movie, what triggers his heart is the so-called justice, helping a stranger and killing a stranger. After I first came across this news, I felt a little absurd, and it may also be this absurd and moral justice. , let the ending change to his falling into the elevator. Before that, he couldn't find the reason to live, and he didn't know why he was alive, but after finding this reason, he became happy, happy, full of passion for life, knew what his breakfast menu was, and noticed the people around him. Who is a person, he feels his existence and what passion is, and he wants to continue to live like this.

If he is not a person who studies philosophy, does not understand the big truth, does not explore the meaning of life, and just lives simply, will he be happier, and will he experience it in the ordinary life? To those temperatures, the sun, air, and wind every day, will they question their own existence, will it be much easier, and there will be no final death.

Irrational Man quotes

  • [first lines]

    Abe: [narrating] Kant said human reason is troubled by questions that it cannot dismiss, but also cannot answer. Okay, so, what are we talking about here? Morality? Choice? The randomness of life? Aesthetics? Murder?

    Jill: I think Abe was crazy from the beginning. Was it from stress? Was it anger? Was he disgusted by what he saw as life's never-ending suffering? Or was he simply bored by the meaninglessness of day-to-day existence? He was so damn interesting. And different. And a good talker. And he could always cloud the issue with words.

    Abe: Where to begin? You know, the existentialists feel nothing happens until you hit absolute rock bottom. Well, let's say that when I went to teach at Braylin College, emotionally, I was at Zabriskie Point. Of course, my reputation, or should I say a reputation, preceded me.

  • Abe Lucas: Jill had been right in her appraisal of me. I was teetering on the brink of some kind of breakdown, unable to deal with my feelings of anger, frustration, futility. They say that drowning is a painless way to go.
