The male protagonist is another typical big Luther image in Woody Allen's movies: Tongbo ancient and modern metaphysics, you are all low and I am alone. A fan of existentialism who seems to see through everything and lose the enthusiasm for life. Self-confidence and mastery, so all the so-called maintenance of "ordinary people"'s life motivation can't make him happy. Teaching, food, writing, passionate mature women, young girls, it doesn't matter to him. Full of various philosophical thoughts, although he teaches students that "philosophical views are far from facts", "philosophy is nothing but verbal masturbation". He has his own set of moral systems, and it sounds plausible. Jill, who was obsessed with him, said, "You can't judge him with a middle-class morality." It seems that the philosophy professor's knowledge and wisdom have led him to blast the social norms used to stabilize the stupid middle class. "He's great."
The heroine is another typical young literary woman in a Woody Allen movie: beautiful, smart, and completely confident in herself. She will despise the perfect boyfriend who loves her down-to-earth as "not interesting enough". When the male protagonist says that she likes Dostoevsky, she will be intoxicated in his eyes and say that she has read all of Dostoevsky's works. Will use super logic and associative power to connect various small clues and is keen to find the answer to things like solving a case. There will be a kind of powerful and complex emotion that justifies the old man who is decadent and dejected but full of philosophical thoughts, and then the Virgin Heart and the desire to challenge each other. This emotion made her irresistibly infatuated with him. Rather than saying that he gave her a flashlight, he was actually the enlightenment in her life, illuminating the places she had never been before. She felt that she finally understood what love was, "she's great".
It seems that because Woody Allen is always more respectful and tolerant towards women. At the end of the story, the male protagonist finally failed to achieve his wish, and the female protagonist came to his senses. It seems similar to the story of "Match Point" exactly 10 years ago but is actually very different, this time, randomness and fate finally failed to favor the arrogant side. The male protagonist has completely become a big Luther. This may also be the change in Woody Allen's own life situation and life perception in the past ten years, and we have no way of knowing. But this time, Woody Allen seems to have changed from a tangled angry youth (angry old?) to an unruly and unrestrained old gentleman who lined up behind him. Kind of, you guys are really too simple, sometimes naive.
After watching "The Unreasonable", I feel that the three views that are rarely seen in Woody Allen movies have been corrected. At the beginning of the film, the male protagonist talks about Kant's moral theory, saying that Kant believes that a world of absolute morality does not allow lies to exist in any form. Even if a murderer asks you if the person he's trying to kill is upstairs in your house, you should tell the truth. At this point a student raises his hand and asks if you accept an amoral world because even if the door just opens a slit to an immoral world. Exactly the ending echoes this. The male protagonist opens up to the universal immoral world because of what he thinks is the right moral code (killing the judge is moral, because it removes a man he calls "bad guy" - who has what he calls "banal evil") One crack - killing is immoral. Then had to open a bigger door to this immoral world. As Jill said, "One murder always leads to another."
So, as opposed to the evil of mediocrity, is there no evil of wisdom? I think there must be. Wisdom itself is good, but the evil of wisdom must be accompanied by arrogance. When a wise man loses his reverence for other people, the world, and the so-called universal moral code, he becomes the saddest and most stupid person.
In "Bullets Over Broadway", the provoked pseudo-artist finally ran to his ex-girlfriend who was already hanging out with his best friend and said excitedly "I'm not an artist, I love you!" "The Unreasonable Man" Jill in ", seems to realize that he is not the god of muse who can make the decadent uncle reinvigorate, so he almost shouted "I am not a female literary youth, I am not infatuated with you".
But in fact, I think, whether it is a real artist or a fake artist, a real female literary youth or a fake literary youth, everyone is worthy of being loved.
As long as you have a sincere heart to love.
