It seems that the same is true for people and objects. After chatting with a woman for the first time, it seems that you know the character and talent of this woman, and you dare to judge from the woman's constellation and blood type. The itchy pillow person suddenly sighed, "Official man, what advantages do you think I have? What should I do?"
I haven't studied the reason for this. It is probably that people's senses grasp the essence in an instant, but as the senses receive more information, they question the essence of the previous grasp. The sharpest edges and corners were lost, like grinding a stone. Just like when we were very young, we learned the truth of life through the Analects of Confucius and so on. Today, it has been admirable without going to its opposite.
This was my first impression when I watched Woody Allen's "Love in Rome" after "Midnight in Paris."2. This weekend is a good day to watch a movie at home. The real and untrue information about the heavy snow in the imperial capital on Weibo has been expanded, so many friends have sent text messages to express their condolences, worrying that the heavy snow in the imperial capital will crush me. I can't help laughing when I look at the pattering rain outside the window and the blooming flowers in the terrace garden. Sometimes, thinking about the big and small things in this world is more absurd than even the most absurd movie.
On weekends, the scene outside my window is quite similar to the winter in the south of the Yangtze River. The wet and cold rain knocks down the leaves that are turning yellow and stick tightly to the ground. The water on the ground is wrinkled when a gust of wind blows, and the yellow leaves are still firm. stick to it.
In such a sense of absurdity, it is appropriate to watch a film that is not too serious, so I wrapped a blanket on the sofa and watched "Love in Rome."
The film tells four short stories. An Italian uncle who is engaged in the funeral industry is led by a nagging old man from the United States to sing an opera. A boring middle-aged man wakes up one day and finds that he has suddenly become a celebrity. Couples mess with different men and women inexplicably, and an American architect who came to Rome on vacation projects himself into someone else's love story... These four stories are all absurd. The uncle in the funeral industry can only sing opera while taking a bath. After the man became famous, everyone paid attention to everything about his private life, and then he became an ordinary person for no reason. The character has always been a projector.3. The beginning of this film is very similar to "Midnight in Paris." A few short shots show the whole picture of the whole city, soft and warm. This perspective is a typical tourist perspective. A traveler comes to a prestigious city and uses excited eyes to look at the famous scenery of the city. As I said in the first paragraph, for a foreign tourist, it is easy to get the keywords of the city.
Woody Allen is an excellent outsider, and it's the film industry's best choice to have him observe cities in Europe, where he certainly grasps the most fascinating qualities of these cities. In "Midnight in Paris," he found a keyword for Paris: "cultural people." In the continuous passage of the protagonist, a large number of cultural celebrities appear in the streets and cafes of Paris, and they are all envious of them without exception. early times. In "Love in Rome", he found the keyword "love" for Rome. "Love" is fermenting in every corner of the city. After being stirred by a few outsiders, it presents an ambiguous chaos of beauty.
In both "Midnight in Paris" and "Love in Rome", Woody Allen uses foreigners as the protagonists of the stories because they do not have the inherent knowledge of these cities and they look at the city with hope. In "Love in Rome", the roles of foreigners are more abundant. Some people like the city's position with presets, and some people hate the city's position with presets. These conflicts make the interpretation of keywords more thorough.4. But because of the randomness of the storytelling and the lack of connection between the four stories, the film "Love in Rome" is inferior to "Midnight in Paris" in terms of story quality, which is not necessarily because it was made by Woody Allen. Sighing "this lovely old man", "Mr. Woody told more stories" and so on because Woody Allen himself does not require every movie to be a boutique. He is a number admirer and thinks that he has made too many movies. Naturally, good things will come out of it.
What I want to know most is what kind of keywords Woody Allen will distill if he comes to shoot in Beijing.Having been here for 7 years, I have long forgotten the words I felt when I first came to Beijing.
