Many people do not really believe in their beliefs, but believe in their own desires. When such beliefs are not achieved, they are easily changed. Therefore, those people in the play who believe in their beliefs, they are very different, and finally abandon their so-called beliefs, because they are not real beliefs at all.

Many of the characters in the play are contradictory. Just like the male protagonist in the play, he has no way to accept himself, so he becomes a cynic, full of hostility to everything in the outside world. But his heart is actually very longing for warmth, so when he met his second wife, he was attracted by the beauty and sunshine of the girl. Although he said that love was short-lived, he still chose to jump off the building because of the divorce.

There is also a particularly important point, that is, people of different genders, identities, and ages are combined together, breaking the framework, and it can also be a good combination.

    Woody Allen's self-expression, while despairing of human beings, still believes in the brilliance and hope of human nature. In the film, I saw the shadow of Woody Allen laughing at himself many times. The old man who traveled all over Europe returned to New York this time. He still talked about love, life, and life. This is his style, you will recognize it when you see it. It was this lovely old man.

    The genius old man helped the little girl become a woman, and the woman ran away with the others... Should the old man be depressed? No~~ Since the universe is falling apart, why can we fantasize about being the same? The little girl's family collapsed into 4(?) in the process, and then everyone was overjoyed.

Whatever Works quotes

  • Boris Yellnikoff: [Referring to his first wife] We were both students at the University of Chicago. She had a high I.Q. and a low-cut dress.

  • Leo Brockman: You know, I have to say, even with a text book right wing mentality, your mother-in-law has beautifully shaped breasts.

    Boris Yellnikoff: You know, you-your a man of learning, of cultivation, of aesthetic sensibility, this is what you take away from all that school prayer hokum and my country right or wrong? Her bosom?

    Leo Brockman: Its not just her bosom! Her behind is also beautifully contoured.

    Boris Yellnikoff: Well, I'm sure you'll have no problem getting her to bed. She's vulnerable. She's stupid and she's been abandoned. Personally, I lose all erotic inclination when the woman's a member of the National Rifle Association.

    Leo Brockman: It's pear shaped. Degas used to distinguish between an apple shaped behind and pear shaped. And I'm a big fruit eater.
