He would suddenly lose control of himself, become violent, exhibit liberal Jew delusions, machismo, self-righteous cynicism and nihilist desperation, complaining all the time about life with no solution to it way, he aspires to be an artist, but does not follow the price that must be paid, in his most private moments he will speak of the fear of death, he will elevate it to the heights of tragedy, when in reality it is only His narcissism.
----I am not a saint!
----But you pamper yourself too much, don't you think? This is where all your crux is. There is a reason for what you do, and you are being dishonest with yourself. You talk about writing a book, but you end up buying a Porsche, you play a little trick on Emily, you play a little trick on me, and then, you know, you're going to some Senate committee, Name your name and report your friend!
----You are too self-righteous, we are just ordinary people! We are just ordinary people! And you think you are God!
---- I have to find a role model for myself.
----You can't go on like this, you think of yourself as a perfect incarnation.
----What will our descendants say about us? God, sooner or later, we'll be like him too. He might have been beautiful when he was alive, he might have danced, played tennis, etc., but in the end, we will all be like him. You know, it's very important that a person has a bit of personality. Maybe one day I'll be hung up in some classroom too, and I hope that when I'm a skeleton, people think of my goodness.
I don't read much. Before watching Woody Allen, I could only think of the "Love Is" trilogy and Rohmer's movies, and even "Transcendence". Movies like this really strike me, because they are inherently literary neurotic and full of psychedelic and bewildering charm, so I was looking forward to Woody Allen's work.
However after watching "Hannah Sisters" and "Midnight in Paris", I can't say I like his style in any way, like American snacks that are too sweet (or maybe I am tired of eating them myself), I think he It is completely inferior to Rohmer, and even brings racial discrimination: "Americans can't imitate the free and easy romance in French people's nature when they make such movies." With this kind of thinking, I had to watch "Manhattan" , I casually looked down on the film with contempt.
It's still Woody Allen's typical lost book bag, typical fear of death, typical extramarital affairs, typical talkativeness, but maybe it's because I had a fierce fight with a friend not long ago, and I actually felt it from this movie. Woody Allen's sincerity and purity, when he came up with this idea, all his typical operations are as natural and lovely as a child's diligence. In the world of adults, it is courageous.
In fact, the plot in the movie is not romantic at all, and there are no filters at all. He shows the embarrassing details of people getting along with each other. The men and women running in the rain will snatch the newspapers used to cover the rain. Accidentally touching mud on your hands on a boating date, and taking care not to drip dark soy sauce on the bed when you sit in bed together at night watching TV and eating fast food, including Woody Allen's thinning hair and small body, will make her You think this person is so sincere, he does not cover up or idealize reality, but at the same time he also has his own unique ideas and aesthetics that some people think are artificial, it is this combination that makes his films have a wonderful and peculiar I would even think that this is a very high level of idealism, and I still have a pure heart after not disguising the embarrassment of reality.
