A man's scheming is instantly turned into scum in front of the stupidest woman | Commentary on "Exclusive News"

I seem to be a little tired of movies lately. For example, after watching Irish director John Carney's "The Love Song of First Love", I feel that it is not as good as his first two "Go Again" and "Once". We know that John Carney is not only a director but also a musician, but he is so shameless in "The Love Song of First Love" that there are not enough songs to make up the drama. I remember when Mu Xin once commented on literature that some novels could not become novels after the sexual description was removed. I think John Carney's "The Love Song of First Love" won't be a movie after the song is removed. I also tried watching Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami's "The Taste of Cherries". The master is really a master. The long shot in the car at the beginning attracted me deeply, and the subsequent plot made it easy for me at night. Excited, I fell asleep. "Eye in the Sky" and I can't stand it either. After watching "Cold War 2" in the cinema, I felt that there seemed to be such a grand political metaphor behind the story. There seemed to be a hidden brilliance. The brilliance is that Hong Kong movies always honestly reflect the face of Hong Kong, but the ambition of the era is not. There is an incompatible separation from the story. I even re-watched "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", he even reminded me of the scene of eating ice cream, smoking and drinking milk in the farmer's house rented next to the school. It is indeed a delicate combination of business and art. , but the experience it gave me at this moment is far from the height that it wants to match its reputation.

I want to tell the world that I am tired. The world says, what do you mean. I said, let's break up.

However, it's just a joke, you can't break up with the world if you break up with anyone. Had to go back and watch Woody Allen "The Scoop." The last two films of this old man I've seen before were Crime and Punishment and Match Point. "Match Point" is more famous, but its story core is the same as the earlier "Crime and Wrong" more than a dozen years ago. Whether it's from the title or the book the protagonist in the movie is holding, it shows Woody Allen paying homage to Dostoevsky and his Crime and Punishment.

I watch "Scoop" at station B. The advantage of watching movies at station B is that the movie makes you feel dull for a moment, and there are barrages to accompany you to be happy. Of course this can also be a downside, the dullness of a good movie is part of the narrative rhythm, you don't have to feel the depression and mania alone, you don't have to experience the maddening and unattainable wait alone, you don't keep losing patience However, there is always a lingering concern for this world, and it is difficult for you to fully perceive the calmness or satisfaction or climax that it deserves when the next rhythm comes. Whether it's good or bad, we can only accept it, as humans have done for 100,000 years. From a historical rather than a literary point of view, the hunter-gatherer stage was the most insane time for human beings. The agricultural revolution put humans on fixed land, greatly extending the working hours, reducing diets, and greatly reducing the variety of sports. From then on, say goodbye to travel, let alone the industrial and technological revolutions that followed. The overall success of humans as a species—homo sapiens, to be precise, the only one that has won either natural selection or race wars—does not mean an increase in individual happiness. Pigs and cows may be the most successful animals of a species overall—just as company turnover is a measure of commercial success, biological success is the number of copies of DNA—and pigs and cows may be the animals that suffer the most individually. It is Wu Di Allen's strength to express all these noises and incomprehensible things. In "Exclusive News", it is still full of his nonsense, as well as the nonsense that widow sister and uncle wolf said on his behalf. He and his chatter make you wonder what is useful information for the plot and what is just meaningless rambling. But are those meaningless broken thoughts really meaningless? Maybe that meaninglessness is a meaningful depiction of the past, present and future of biology and even the human world. It is precisely because of the seemingly trivial but inexplicably happy portrayal that we can say that this movie is very Woody Allen.

So in front of such Woody Allen, the plot does not seem to be important. He can turn on the nagging mode in any movie because he has suspense in any movie, and at the end of the story, he realizes that there is a key clue in the large pile of crap before. I don't remember which of his movies, in the end, when the male protagonist tries to murder the female protagonist, the female protagonist is saved and the male protagonist falls off the elevator. A prize won by the male protagonist for the female protagonist when playing with love. The sense of absurdity he creates is the unity of his story and his narrative method, content and form. You see, from the Woody Allen movie, there is a lot to read casually, not just a little bit of information in the title of this article.

The focus of watching this movie, in addition to the widow sister's chest and the wolf's uncle's legs, need special attention to this piece of nonsense that Woody Allen repeatedly nags to different strangers in the film:

I just want to get from my heart I say to you from the bottom of my heart, you are an amazing group, a very good group of people, I love you, and I feel your love for me in you, you may be deceased, But you shouldn't be discouraged because, you know, don't use death as a hindrance, I was a stutterer as a kid, but with unwavering determination, you can never foresee what's going to happen...

This paragraph is full of official, Courtesy, hypocritical nonsense appears several times in the film in different variants. If you have a little knowledge of literature, you should know that this is an important image. As for how you interpret this image, I don't care.

As if I was about to run out of power, I searched the world and couldn't find a USB port for charging, and then Woody Allen threw a random one over and said, here, use this. Then, I casually gave "Scoop" a 3, which is the lowest score I have ever rated him.
