chatter, whatever

Woody Allen, such an energetic and creative little old man, is almost 64 years old, and he is still releasing new works at the rate of one movie a year. At midnight in Barcelona in 2008, the threesome inside was probably shocking. Even if this is the emotional Plato depicted in the movie, the old man can do whatever he wants, how can well-dressed moralists do anything to him?

This year's new work, Whatever works, takes the old man to a higher level. Added a young and old partner, a cynical old physicist who attempted suicide at one point, and a young girl from the southern countryside of the United States, married. The girl's mother turned to her daughter because of the breakdown of her marriage, and then got involved with two New York artists, and her life and career came to a second spring. The girl's father was still unhappy after the wedding, and he couldn't get it back. He confided in a lovelorn gay in a bar, and later came out of the closet. Didn't you say this is not possible, that is not possible? Woody Allen, the old urchin, tells you, Whatever works!

Tell me about some other tidbits of the film, there is a section in which Scarlett who once talked about the movie Gone with the Wind is very beautiful, and the girl's accent is exactly the same as Blanche, a streetcar named Desire, I Guess the old man still likes the beautiful Vivien Leigh. The film's protagonist, the old scientist Boris, is a real Woody Allen, chatting all day long, and at the end of the film, he doesn't forget to show off to the audience that he feels good about himself. As you can imagine, after Woody Allen teased everyone, he was still blinking with a smirk behind the black frame.

    Boris Yellnikoff: That's not what I'm saying, imbecile. You guys completely misrepresent my ideas, why would I even want to talk with those idiots.

    Boris' Friend: Just calm down.

    Boris' Friend: That's not true, Boris.

    Boris Yellnikoff: No, don't tell me to calm down, I am calm. Just stop.

    Boris' Friend: Don't jump on us just because we don't understand what you're saying.

    Boris Yellnikoff: I didn't jump on you. It's not the idea behind Christianity I'm faulting, or Judaism, or any religion. It's the professionals who've made it into corporate business. There's big money in the god racket, big money.

    Boris' Friend: Here we go...
