In my impression, Woody's films are full of suspense, with tight plot arrangements. In terms of content, this film seems to be a lot more bland, there is no murder, no suspects, and some are just a contradiction between the life of an old man and the people around him. show.
However, this story still permeates a lot of Woody's style. For example, the protagonist Boris talks silently, speaks very fast, and his humorous way of speaking is similar to the old magician played by Woody himself in "Scoop". The occasional reference to "luck" in determining fate is a constant theme in Woody Allen's films.
In addition, does Woody hate religion very much? He made an exaggerated irony about faith in the film: Originally, the three Melody family were Christians, but in the end, they all abandoned teachings and prayers and lived the life they wanted.
Whether it's a cynical genius, a common man, a gay, a 3P, an age gap, or a talented woman, as long as you feel happy, whatever works.
