Woody Allen is good at lines. This is a director who is secretive but not annoying, and even transcribes it with gusto. His lines are always on point, sarcastic without being mean. And the classic image of the old man who is responsible for saying what he wants to say is so infinitely three-dimensional and vivid. A director full of personal qualities is like a self-composed singer, you will always think that his melody is the same, but because of the art form of the film itself, this consistency will not appear monotonous, it will only be firmly remembered The director himself. Woody Allen has done a great job at this point. Of course, a director's work with personal qualities can only attract people who like his qualities, and this crazy old man did a good job, at least his name was so loud.
But this film doesn't stand out in Woody Allen's work, which is why I only gave it 3 stars. I watched the film twice before and after, and after watching it, I always felt unimpressive, and this feeling was because the film itself did not have the intention of triggering emotions and thinking deeply. From the perspective of the development of the plot, the way of talking to the camera is indeed rare. I can only say that there is no mistake in the application here, but it does not add points to the film itself. Except for the protagonist, the characters are not all three-dimensional. Of course, the relationship between the characters is complicated and there is not enough time to deal with more details, but this also prevents me from remembering any person in the film.
In general, Woody Allen's views have always been relatively broad when it comes to love. He seems to be able to accept everything. Also, what is unacceptable? Human beings are the most complex and changeable creatures, and the relationship between people is the most complex and changeable relationship. Love itself is the most vivid and vivid.
