"Magic Moonlight": Woody Allen's Spring Festival Gala Sketch

Woody Allen's films have always been trivial, belonging to the modern satirical comedy masters who made a storm in a glass, in a way, a bit like twentieth-century Jane Austen. However, the layout of this "Magic Moonlight" is too small, a bit like a storm in a wine cup. The theme of the whole film is really simple, just one: the magic does not lie in psychics, but in emotion; the point of the whole film is also one, the persuasion and education of Emma Stone in the last twenty minutes; the suspense of the whole film is less, almost in At the beginning of the film, the audience guessed the answer: a famous magician who is known for his rational analysis does not believe in any surreal magic in the world. What happened? I've talked about this, what do you think, reader?

Colin Firth and Emma Stone are the hero and heroine of this film, and they are opposites throughout. In France in the 1930s, everything was so beautiful, both petty and fresh, the blue Mediterranean, the convertible, the wise aristocratic old lady and her beautiful pearl necklace; the car broke down in the rainstorm, and the two ran to the observatory Looking at the stars, just looking at these keywords, I thought it was the beginning of the novel "Butterfly Dream". But it doesn't stop there: the "reason" and "calculation" represented by Colin Firth are vulnerable before the "emotion" and "charm" represented by Emma Stone, and Woody Allen tells the audience in eighty minutes. His understanding of feelings, the movie stopped so abruptly.

After watching the movie, I made up my mind about the possibility of using a Spring Festival Gala sketch to explain the show clearly. Song Dandan can play the role of Emma, ​​Colin Firth will let Uncle Benshan play it! Although he may never be on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala again... The magician played by Uncle Benshan met the beautiful village girl Dandan, and from then on began an ironic marriage... It doesn't violate harmony at all.

    The marriage proposal is simply a model of Darcy's arrogance. When they said, "I don't know why I'm so intrigued by you, you didn't quickly thank Dade for coming to kneel and lick", they roared in their hearts, "I love you so much, I don't have you for a second. I can't live either, please run over and save me with your love!!"
