As the opening film of the 79th Cannes Film Festival, cafe society started the red carpet first line on May 11. Invitation letters from the Cannes Film Palace are hard to find (most of them are not for sale, so they are called invitations instead of tickets). This year, because of the name of woody allen, even the tickets that will be played repeatedly in the following week have been distributed early. It is probably because of the consistently high style of the awards, the films selected every year are hard to swallow, so when you see the old man woody and his brand logo, it is definitely suitable for family/couples/friends to watch and watch movies that you can still happily go to eat and shop. , Everyone is more excited and emotional, this year can finally pretend to be happy.
Originally this year's resident welfare ticket was in the next few days, but on the opening day, my husband's company received the christian louboutin deity (yes, the designer of the shoes that you all want your husband to bleed!!), so we were fortunate to be presented Invitation to the premiere. When I got excited, I forgot to call my husband to ask Louboutin for an in-app purchase discount.
As usual, this year's dress code is still formal, women only need to dress beautifully, while men are required to wear a bow tie. If you have just watched this year's uber software, you will find that in addition to renting a helicopter and renting a helicopter during the film festival, there is also an uber bow tie, which is priced at 85 euros. Bow ties near the venue are still in short supply even at 100 euros. There is no way, every year the film festival skyrockets the average appearance of the entire Cannes. In winter, the parks and streets where retirees play petanque from all walks of life directly become the catwalks of all kinds of human beauty. All kinds of infinitely long legs, all kinds of big breasts, buttocks and small waists, wrapped in exquisite clothing. At this time, if you wear casual clothes and go out for a walk, you will be hit by 10,000 points and start your life with doubts after returning home.
Our red carpet entry is after the stars are over. Speaking of the red carpet, I wore casual clothes to tap the spot when the stars walked in the afternoon (now you know where the 10,000 hits mentioned above came from). Of course it was crowded. I thought to myself that wearing casual clothes, I would just break the jar and smash a bloody road all the way in the crowd, and in the end I just watched the big screen on the movie palace far away from the red carpet. The speed of entry at the beginning was quite good, until after the Asian face appeared, 3-4 mainstays formed in the center of the red carpet. As the surrounding stars passed a group after another, they were stunned to take 20 or more poses and move a step. The speed is slowly moving forward, and such professionalism is really gratifying for the sponsors.
The above is all nonsense and gossip. If you don't mind one more gossip, Woody Allen was captured alive at the beach restaurant at noon on the premiere day, but the restaurant that day was booked.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－The
setting time of the coffee commune is the 30th of the last century The years, shades and outfits are reminiscent of 14 Years of Magic Moonlight. The difference is that the magic moonlight takes place on the Gold Coast in the south of France, while the coffee commune is in Los Angeles and New York in the late golden age.
For Native Americans, Los Angeles and New York are frame-of-reference topics, as are Beijing and Shanghai. For those who are familiar with American culture, this topic is even more numerous in American TV series. At the end of the golden age, transportation was not as developed as modern society, and when the film industry just woke up, these two cities were more like two worlds. Los Angeles on the west coast, hot, enthusiastic, lazy, decadent, full of young people with dreams of gold rush and overnight fame, where mornings start in the afternoon, breakfasts start drinking, dress casually but must be sexy; New York on the east coast On the other hand, they are decent, class-stratified, and the upper classes are generally educated, with elegant appearance and behavior. Then the common thing is that all people have a bright exterior, eternal money, wine, sex and desire.
The name Coffee Commune has nothing to do with the story line. In the play, it is the name of an underground club in New York. Almost all the protagonists of New York City's nightlife gather here. Woody allen is really born in drama, and the scenes in the movie can often be converted to theatrical version. For example, when I introduced the club, I sketched some characters: a couple who looked beautiful from the outside, a rich man who always sat in the best seat, a tall woman and her short husband, a politician who raised voting funds... all make Impressed. In addition to the club, the male protagonist Bobby's parents (traditional Jewish family in New York), brother (underground gangster), relatives (communist), uncle Phil (Hollywood boss) and other supporting characters are also very interestingly portrayed. Especially when brother Ben converted to Catholicism after being sentenced, this was probably the most laughter in the audience. Woody Allen said in an interview "wanted to do kind of a novel on film, about a family and the relationships of the members toward one another, and the protagonist's love relationship". It can be seen that, in addition to the love between the protagonists, Woody, who is a screenwriter himself, also spent pen and ink to weave the tension of other relationship networks.
The main plot of the movie itself is a vulgar and vulgar story, and then spoilers will not affect the viewing of the movie. Robby, a little diaosi from New York, went to Los Angeles to seek refuge with his uncle, a movie tycoon, and fell in love with his uncle's little secretary, who turned out to be his uncle's third secretary. In the end, the little secretary succeeded in taking the position, and the sad little diaosi returned to New York to rely on the gangster brother to manage the underground club and successfully counterattack.
This type of story is probably turned into a film version of the Atlantic Empire by other directors, but in Woody Allen, it turns into a humorous and satirical comedy sketch with the light-hearted tone and charming pictures. There are many comments that the script is too monotonous. In fact, since Blue Jasmine, the writing style of woody allen has begun to show this trend. Of course, it is compared to his early works, especially the peak of the last point, midnight in Barcelona, and midsummer night in Paris. My personal favorite is his whatever, the script's twists and turns, and the brain hole is so crazy that people can even shout "this can be done". Now, rather than saying that the creative ability has returned to normal, I prefer to believe that it is the mentality that will see more and more different things with age. Woody allen's later works are less and less critical, but are like old friends, with a little tolerance and no malicious sarcasm, comforting. Whether it is the big devil in the blue jasmine, or the little liar in the magic moonlight, they are all trivial people, and they all need the medicine of love to save them.
The theme in the coffee commune is simpler, love and butterfly. The word Butterfly originally came from papillon in French. In addition to butterflies, it also describes the thumping feeling brought by love, which is light, beautiful and easy to fly away. As in the uncle Phil's confession in the movie, he met vonnie for the first time. He also said that as a tycoon in the film industry, he has countless stars on his hands, and his wife is amazing. He has never cheated in his 25-year marriage. That afternoon, like the sun all over the body. For vonnie, the phil on the opposite side is mature, rich, confident, and like a miracle in life. Then the first time Bobby saw vonnie, it was like a boy's first love. As always said, true love is often love at first sight. And these people are full of their delima, phil and vonnie are in love with each other, but there is a huge age difference and the fact that phil is married; Bobby is even more issued a good card and a spare tire. In the end, each of the three faced the same problem: I fell in love with two people at the same time, one was love in reality and the other was live with butterfly. Which one should I choose?
The person who loves in reality is a life partner, who has already obtained it; the person who loves with butterfly has a heartbeat, but he can't get it when he approaches. This is the wonderful part of human nature. You choose the most suitable person for you, but it is always difficult not to imagine the unchosen if; the unknown is always dreamy and beautiful, not falling into the bubble of reality, away from gravity. Sometimes I really feel that Woody Allen must have rich emotional experience, so I pick out such small details in the depths of human nature and use a movie time to polish them slowly. This is probably why woody allen is more popular among audiences above the middle class. Probably when the economic base reaches a certain level, people generally begin to have spiritual needs and needs to be loved, and then they will have a good feeling for such movies. And for groups who take marriage and sex (not even to mention love's sake) as material ties and life guarantees, a shield of a Taoist priest can despise this kind of rotten middle-class daily life. some time.
In addition, the two leading actors this time gave people a lot of surprises. Jesse's role is a young diaosi, who ran from New York to Los Angeles to make a run, then fell in love with the heroine, and then returned to New York to counterattack. Jesse was probably better known to the Chinese as Mark Zuckerberg in the social network. It seems that he is very qualified for the role of the last counterattack by the good card. Although it is a true performance, but if you look closely at his walking posture in the coffee commune and his tone of voice, he is simply a youth version of woody allen. Thinking of the neurotic billionaire villain in Superman vs. Iron Man not long ago, his acting skills are indeed full. Before watching kriten, her evaluation was still a twilight-faced paralyzed girl. In this movie, every feature is amazingly delicate. The most test of appearance is that she can match cotton socks, sandals and high heels perfectly, which is simply a fashion skill against the sky. As for acting, although adhering to the usual facial paralysis performance, the reunion in New York is almost indistinguishable from the previous one in Los Angeles (a lady and a girl from the bottom), but in the end, at the New Year's dance, the camera turned from behind, making people feel Looking forward to that dreamy look, she closed her eyes and opened her eyes at that moment, helpless with a little fantasies of happiness, confusion, elsewhere, hopeless expectations... that kind of dreamy look contains a lot of An indescribable emotion, all explained in place.
The final ending was left blank, and the two protagonists were in their respective realities, thinking about their common butterfly. After going through a movie, they also knew in their hearts that the result of chasing butterly is just to turn the other party into their own reality, and that butterfly, you can't catch it at all. Maybe occasionally in the noisy crowd, you suddenly pull away, and the surrounding personnel slowly fade into the background; some people say, are you okay? You look like you are dreaming. Life finally makes you understand that you are the best you can be when you just watch it fly.
Last but not least, for retro jazz, costumes, cities and seductive heroines, or else, for beautiful posters, it's a woody allen movie worth watching.
