The picture is full of petty sentiments, the tone is very warm, but it tells an unsatisfactory story. Like In life, you will meet a tall dark stanger. Our lives are all fragmented and need to be blurred with a layer of warm tones. Just like in the film, the writer faces his new girlfriend and hides his incompetence by stealing his friend's creations, and the old man's new wife hides her cabinet behavior through various lies and frauds. In this way, life goes on in this half-light and half-darkness.
Every time we make a decision, it will change the way forward in life, there is no chance to retreat and start over. It's like the old man in the film wants to return to his wife's side, but they have already started another journey and can't accompany him again. There is also a writer who has only one work. Since he has chosen an oriental woman with red underwear, he should not have any delusions when he sees the body of his white ex-wife in black underwear.
It is said that this film is a bit Woody Allen's autobiography, it seems that he is also deeply troubled by this kind of life, how comprehensible it is to shoot!
