"Encountering Strangers": The expectation of Woody Allen has become a habit of mine

At the beginning of the film, the narrator told the audience: Shakespeare once said: "Life is full of noise and agitation, and in the end, the gods and horses are all clouds!" This film tells such a story. Still, Teacher Sha is amazing. She saw it so thoroughly 400 years ago.

Woody Allen, this old man who is always full of wisdom and humor, is undoubtedly the filmmaker who has influenced me the most. The lines in his movies are always so witty and ingenious. He always sees all kinds of life so thoroughly. . But he always does it all in a very witty and humorous way. Therefore, watching Woody Allen's films will never feel dull or boring, and you will often see yourself or someone you know in the characters in his works and let out a knowing smile.

Some people say that people who know too much and see too clearly will live very tired or unhappy, but in fact they do not know enough, and they do not see thoroughly enough. Woody Allen must be the kind of person who sees well enough and lives happily enough. His ridicule and satire on life has already surpassed the pessimism in the general sense and reached a higher level. Reminds me of a sentence I saw some time ago: because I saw it too thoroughly, I began to be unreasonable. Perhaps this is what the 74-year-old man has already achieved.

Woody Allen maintains a high production rate of one new work per year, and although the style generally does not change much, it is his style that audiences love. It has become a habit for me to hope that he can live a long life, continue to shoot, and look forward to his new works every year. Can't wait to see his new film "Midnight in Paris" earlier this year.
