coffee commune

I agreed to watch a movie every week and write a movie review, but the result has been delayed until now. This is the first time I've watched Woody Allen's film. There is a male classmate who likes Woody Allen's tone very much, and his view of love is also deeply influenced by it. He doesn't seem to like being bound by love and marriage. Still very concerned, just not wanting to be bound in some way, so I was just curious to see Woody Allen's films as well.

To be honest, when I watched "Coffee Commune", I wasn't shocked, because the plot was really old-fashioned. The young Bobby came to Hollywood to find a tycoon's uncle, hoping to develop in Hollywood. Here, Bobby fell in love at a glance. The secretary in the uncle's office, Varney, played by Christine, is warm and generous, beautiful but not stereotyped. She has her own independent ideas and opinions, like a fresh rose in the smoky Hollywood society. Bobby loves her so much, In the tavern, Bobby told Varney that if he were her boyfriend, he would never leave her alone and would want to be with her all the time. The love in the youthful period is probably like this, the spark in the eyes can't be hidden at all, the heat and the sincerity are in contrast to the flirting flirtation of the mature Bobby later. It's a pity that Varney likes Bobby's tycoon uncle. Although there was an episode between the two, Varney didn't choose Bobby in the end.

Bobby returned to New York after being heartbroken. After being introduced by a friend, he met his current wife. Coincidentally, she is also called Varney. Bobby can now successfully roam in various social situations. He is so young and can easily win the favor of women, but as an audience, I feel a little sad when I see this change in him. There is no longer that kind of sincere love in Bobby's eyes, it's just a way of coping. This Varney is married and has a child, but does he love her? There may be more responsibility than love, but is this fair to his wife? Many people who watch this movie are lamenting that the love between Bobby and Xiao K didn't work out, but why do I think the saddest thing is that Bobby married Varney, she is just a shadow of others, and she will doubt Bobby's true love all her life herself, how unfair it was to her.

Years later, Bobby reunites with Varney, played by Little K. Needless to say, their eyes conveyed everything. They still love each other, even though Little K has become the kind of person she hated the most before, as if there was no more. The delicate and innocent essence of many years ago, but Bobby still loves her, and the feeling of love may be really difficult to explain. On New Year's Eve, although the two returned to their original lives, the last scene of the movie was Bobby's lost eyes when the New Year's bell rang, and the same empty expression after the New Year's kiss between Xiao K and his uncle. This is a story of red roses and white roses. What you can't get is always the most unforgettable thing in your heart, and you don't cherish what you already have.

Before the age of 23, I always believed that I would meet the right person in my life, so I felt that as long as I kept making myself better and better, I could meet that person on the road of progress, and I met someone I liked in the middle. The boys who love me and like me, but they all refused or didn’t take any action, but slowly when I was 25 years old, I gradually began to feel that I would never meet the person who was on the same channel as me. The boys and classmates around me, I saw As they dated one girlfriend after another, like Bobby, their concept of love has changed from pure and enthusiastic at the beginning to now. They feel that love is nothing but this, and they feel that girls have made them what they are now. So the older you get, the harder it will be to meet a serious and evenly matched guy. I don't want to deal with it, and I don't want to be the last Varney to marry Bobby, I think it's better to be single.

    Just take a look at the level of laughter. Not annoying, but there is really nothing to like-it's a bit painless and itchy.

    Woody Allen of all kinds, men and women, came together to talk to himself, and he really deserves to play all the roles himself in the next film.
