There are several points in this movie that Ellen is pleasantly surprised by.
The masked man's opera at the beginning was quite unexpected. This is also a manifestation of his curiosity to please the audience. Fortunately, it is not contrived. Throughout the whole piece, it not only expresses the psychological actions of the characters richly, but also makes plot predictions and rationalization. logic.
There are not many children in Allen's film, except for the little Allen with Hawking eyes in Anne Hall, who is Allen's adopted son MAX in this film. With a high IQ, excellent language and mathematics, and obedient obedience, Alan, who is in a normal life, is fascinated by the mother of the child. At first glance, he saw the huge contrast between the child's performance and the irritability of refusing to adopt a child on the phone, which was really heartwarming. He kept stroking the child's forehead, complimenting how cute he was, and walking around thinking of a name for him.
Finally, after a lot of hard work, he found the child's mother, who turned out to be a prostitute. Except Scarlett Johansson, I love every woman in Ellen's films, Deaf and Uma Thurman in Sweet and Humble, longtime collaborator Diane Keaton, Marion Cotillard in Midnight Paris, it's maddening women. There is coquettishness in innocence, and style in connotation. The most beautiful is the prostitute who went to her boyfriend Onion Farmer's house to look for him. After being ruthlessly rejected, she looked slightly tearful. However, the real Son of Heaven really fell from the sky.
Regarding cheating, Helena also performed very well. Women always have to take a few more glances at men who are infatuated with them, and always want to go out and experience other things when they are slightly dissatisfied with sex. The party in a relationship who has offered to separate will give disjointed reasons -- making up poor reasons for themselves and the other.
Finally a happy ending. The wife came back, the prostitute also married the real son, and Allen had no regrets.
Forgive me for not writing a film review for such a long time, and I don't understand the critics deeply. However, my love for Allen is really more than these points.
