1. This time the main "The In Crowd" has a refreshing feeling, and it is wonderful to match the crime process. Not inferior to "You Do Something To Me" in [Magic Moonlight]; 2. The so-called existentialism is just a decoration, and the theme of "Crime and Punishment" that has not been seen for a long time It is Neri (notes in "Idiot" and "Crime and Punishment" piled up in the room, and the male protagonist who claims to love Dostoevsky); 3. A story by Cohen, filled with WA-style lines , and mentioning the super-perfect murder case, Xi Fat is always the most suspect and nothing to discuss; 4. "There is always a distance of thousands of miles between the philosophical world of bullshit and the real world", "Anxiety is the mystery caused by freedom. Halo", "His ideas are really romantic, but they don't stand up to scrutiny", "Oh, I swore that this would not happen"; 5.- "Kierkegaard said that despair is 'death disease', and you are suffering from despair" - "Oh, but Kierkegaard is still a Christian after all, which is so comforting"; 6. "Take me to Rome, Barcelona or London", "The immorality of making innocent people suffer does bother me, but it's nothing compared to the instinct to survive"; 7. Murder is the world, "others are hell"; 8. Phoenix's first half hour is [Her] The male protagonist's narcissistic version, Emma Stone's second half is the contemporary female college student version of [Rear Window] Stewart's character; 9. In my memory, the first time I saw a playground in a WA movie, and then 10. Jill's "stage fright" after learning the truth, and [Midnight in Barcelona] Vicky who finally ran away after facing the madness , how similar. ps This film is estimated to be a book conceived by Woody Allen N many years ago. I don’t know if Jill did not go to London with BF to develop this setting and [Manhattan]. In addition, as a master at creating moral dilemmas, Woody Allen has always been able to deftly make humans into a ridiculous to pathetic animal. The play is perfect compared to the imperfect murders.

Irrational Man quotes

  • [first lines]

    Abe: [narrating] Kant said human reason is troubled by questions that it cannot dismiss, but also cannot answer. Okay, so, what are we talking about here? Morality? Choice? The randomness of life? Aesthetics? Murder?

    Jill: I think Abe was crazy from the beginning. Was it from stress? Was it anger? Was he disgusted by what he saw as life's never-ending suffering? Or was he simply bored by the meaninglessness of day-to-day existence? He was so damn interesting. And different. And a good talker. And he could always cloud the issue with words.

    Abe: Where to begin? You know, the existentialists feel nothing happens until you hit absolute rock bottom. Well, let's say that when I went to teach at Braylin College, emotionally, I was at Zabriskie Point. Of course, my reputation, or should I say a reputation, preceded me.

  • Abe Lucas: Jill had been right in her appraisal of me. I was teetering on the brink of some kind of breakdown, unable to deal with my feelings of anger, frustration, futility. They say that drowning is a painless way to go.
