Desperate to have fun

This is Woody Allen's latest film. Familiar structures and idiomatic routines are familiar to you.

I really liked the long lines of Boris dialogue in the movie, full of pessimism. He attempted suicide twice, but at the end of the movie, he expressed his feelings of helplessness in life. It's an ideal excuse for his existence. See the citation in the next paragraph.

PS: The starring Larry David seems to be the star of a popular American drama on HBO. I think his talk show talent is also extraordinary.

“I happen to hate New Year's celebrations.
Everybody desperate to have fun.
Trying to celebrate in some pathetic little way.
Celebrate what? A step closer to the grave?
That's why I can't say enough times, whatever love you can get and give,
whatever happiness you can filch or provide,
every temporary mesasure of grace, whateverworks.
And don't kid yourself, it's by no means all up to your own human ingenuity.
A bigger part of your existence is luck than you'd like to admit.
Christ, you know the odds of your father's one sperm from the billions,
finding the single egg that made you?
Don't think about it, you'll have a panic attack."

    4.5, another movie that can be watched New Year's Eve. It's been a long time since I haven't seen the little old man in his other works that use the method of breaking the fourth wall, which is full of a world-weary complex of intellectuals and satire on reality. The development of the love story is a bit abrupt. It is said that it is a love story and there are other things. The composition of many branch lines shows the changes after people from other places came to New York. In fact, to put it bluntly, the movie is still dedicated to New York, and the rest of the dialogue parts are written quite interesting. I didn't expect Trump to "appear" in Wu. In Dee Allen's movie, there is also Heng Chao.

    3.5 This one looks good. This is the second time that entropy is mentioned in the old man's film, and the uncertainty principle is mentioned for the first time. The actors are all very good, especially after Patricia Clarkson appeared, the whole story was very bright, and the father appeared weak. The music and soundtrack are also well chosen. The end of physics is philosophy, most of life is love, and the end of love is married life.
