Woody Allen, the New York hippie who is over eighty years old is considered to be the only young literary and artistic person in the American film industry. He has been in film for nearly 50 years, holds 20 Oscar nominations, and won 4 golden statuettes, including 3 best original screenplays and 1 best director. Not to mention that he also helped 7 actors including Diane Keaton, Michael Caine, Cate Blanchett fulfill their Oscar dreams.
And "simple life is not simple" is a major label of Woody Allen's films.
As the title suggests, the film tells the story of three sisters, Hannah, Holly, and Leigh, and the perspective is on Hannah's husband, Elliott.
The film begins with a monologue.
Then you find that this monologue alone can pique your interest.
"Gosh, she's so beautiful, she's got the most beautiful eyes. She's so sexy in that sweater, I just want to be alone with her, kiss her, tell her how much I love her and take care of her. —Don't think about it, idiot! She's your sister-in-law. But I can't help it, she's fascinated me for months, and I've been dreaming of her, thinking of her in the office, what should I do?" "I Smelling the perfume on the back of her neck, I thought I was going to faint. Be careful, you are a respected economic advisor, you will lose face if you pass out."
Let you taste some hazy love first, and then punch you with reality. knock down. In a few sentences, clarify the emotional predicament of the protagonist, and then throw him into the ethical trap. The suspense is brought into the film from the beginning, which is the fastest way to integrate into the plot.
It was a Thanksgiving dinner for the family of three Hannah sisters, parents and grandchildren happily. Of course the surface of happiness is a mixture of joy and sorrow.
Then the three sisters contributed the first wonderful group scene of the film.
First, the second sister, Holly, asked the eldest sister to borrow money to open a company. Hannah was suspicious because of Holly's history of drug use.
Then the youngest daughter Li complained about her mother's love for beauty when she was over 60 and tidying up the garter belt.
The sisters complained that there wasn't a single interesting bachelor at the party.
Then began to ridicule Li's personal emotional problems.
Finally, he turned to ridicule Hannah's obsession with her ex-husband Crane.
Is this scene familiar? Isn't it the most common bottomless black talk show between close sisters? And when they taunt each other, you still feel that their relationship is too harmonious.
And the reality is also so magical, especially in the natural cooperation of the three powerful female actors, you can clearly feel what a drama is like life.
Then there's the standard American family dinner - who says only easterners value family.
In Hannah's family speech, Hannah made it clear that she is a full-time housewife (the reason is for the children), of course, she still has a small ambition to take the stage (his own career). Count to see, did she miss one thing?
Although wonderful family reunion makes everyone happy.
But everyone has their own minds. The girl's heart is slender, and Li can guess all Elliott's thoughts with just a few eyes.
Of course, cheating is definitely the result of both your love and my will. Especially when her husband Fred is still an unsophisticated otaku artist who only knows how to paint.
Well, let's take a look at these two poor couples who may face the derailment of their lover. Hannah cares about her children and her career, but she forgets her husband; Li's husband paints all day long, but he doesn't think about his wife returning to her parents' home alone. The feeling of a banquet. —I don't know if it's a shame in America. But in China, we know what it means for a daughter-in-law to go back to her parents' home alone.
One of the triggers of the marital crisis is absolute confidence in the marriage itself.
And then our Woody Allen kicks off his runaway show as Mick, a depressive stage artist, which Allen does well. Mick is Hannah's ex-husband. I guess the reason for the divorce between the two was definitely Mick's constant talk.
Mick felt terminally ill all the time—depression was horrible.
And some man with ulterior motives, Elliott, always likes to make some so-called "street encounters" coincidences (just following three streets).
Then there is the bookstore showcasing personal training time.
In addition to books, music is also a tool for "deepening friendship".
That's how Elliott and Li got in touch.
The development of the story line is hilarious. Mick ran rampant in his bedroom late at night by himself, just because he was wondering whether he had lung cancer or brain cancer; and after the diagnosis was fine, Mick rushed down the street excitedly and instantly became a nihilist. Mick was diagnosed with infertility, and the sperm donor he sought was actually his stage partner. And he said it in front of his wife.
And who would have thought that when they reach the age of grandparents, the old couple will be jealous.
Li, who witnessed her parents' quarrel, woke up: "She used to be beautiful, he was also personable, and they both had a bright future. I hope that love will never materialize, and won't use quarrels and habitual infidelity to prove themselves and blame each other, but (The fact) is really sad."
Then she turned around and started dating Elliott...
Of course, in the face of an angry young husband who kept complaining about the Nazis, the government, the church, and intellectuals all day long Than, Elliott is still quite attractive...
But when Lei and Fret made a complete confession and broke up. Elliott, who had decided to divorce, regretted pacing late at night.
Don't think that a married man will give up his family for an affair. It's a completely different matter. - although he will try to maintain the status quo. It's like this:
grab with both hands, and both hands must be hard.
The three sisters go to a restaurant for dinner, and the neurotic Holly plans to write after failing to open a restaurant and perform an opera. This opened the second wonderful group play of the three sisters. As the eldest sister, Hannah is simply a father and a mother, a cow and a horse. It not only educates the disobedient second child, but also comforts the recently weak third child. Under a wonderful moving long mirror and dense dialogue, we see the mature and loving eldest sister, the willful and rebellious second sister and the fragile and sensitive third sister. The character's characteristics are brought to the extreme in just one minute. And the eldest sister Hannah is undoubtedly the pillar of this scene.
If you have seen the scene of "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Hongmen Banquet", you will also applaud the scene scheduling of this scene.
And seeing the selfless dedication of the eldest sister to the whole family, Li finally decided to stop the dangerous game these months. Facing the unreasonable second sister, she sided with Hannah.
With the ups and downs of the second sister's business in the past year, the separation and integration of the third sister and her brother-in-law, all kinds of trivial matters between parents, and the eldest sister's ex-husband's worrying about others for the past year. The New Year's Thanksgiving Family Dinner is here again.
Ordinary life is trivial every day, but every day is different. The quarrel continues every day, but the family love also lasts forever.
Thanks to Hannah, Holly and Mick came together. God, after divorcing my ex-husband, I still have to worry about his relationship, so I introduced it to my sister who has no one to take care of, and then everyone was happy, and indirectly cured my ex-husband's depression. The family soap operas in the world are really a raccoon dog, but the American version will not deliberately make people cry like the Chinese Dynasty.
And it's also inspiring.
The final egg is Mick's ultimate epiphany about the meaning of life. Interested children's shoes must listen carefully. I won't go into details here.
In the half-century of piano music that my father played, everything was calm again. But everything is new and different.
Woody Allen himself is a devoted and avid jazz fan, and despite his perennial Oscar nominations (especially original screenplay nominations), Woody Allen's favorite thing to do is to miss the party on Oscars day and go with friends Manhattan's busiest bar district plays jazz. His films almost never use music other than jazz (the tune selection didn't become more diverse until Midnight in Paris). And the style of the Jazz opening and ending music continued from his original stunning "Annie Hall" to 2014's "Magic Moonlight".
For 40 years, Woody Allen has portrayed the life of modern urbanites to every street and every group of people. In his films, you will learn how to live a leisurely and comfortable life in a city like the law of the jungle.
And this is the experience of urban living that our generation lacks.
Michael Caine, who played Elliott, won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor that year, and Woody Allen himself won Oscars, Golden Globes, and British Academy Awards for that year. The original screenplay award for almost every major movie award.
"Hannah Sisters" is Woody Allen's transition from the early to the middle stage. Since then, his vision has begun to try to look at Europe on the other side of the Atlantic, and his film career has finally moved to the world.
