I envy Woody Allen,
The way he shoots is probably the way I want to live.
His films are forever claiming sovereignty: I am my own director, I am my own screenwriter, I am my own actor.
so you like me? Then go to my movies, you will love me;
you hate me? Then go to my movies, you will be jealous of me;
you question me? Then go to my movie and you will understand that you are stupid.
It seems that he has been insisting on himself and expressing himself, but in fact, he has to live in evaluation.
He skillfully filmed other people's doubts about him in his own movie,
Betrayal, affair, polyamorous love, these plots without "morality" appearing in his films are no surprise.
It's no surprise that unethical plots such as derailment and affair appear in his films.
And this movie is a work of art that he excuses himself.
A dialogue between Gabe and Rain in the film:
Rain: "I'm a little disappointed with your attitude in some of your articles"
Gabe: "Where's the disappointment?"
Rain: "It's like the characters in it often have an affair"
Gabe: "This book doesn't excuse the affair, I'm exaggerating it for the sake of comedy"
Rain: "Do we have to choose between dissatisfaction and hard work?"
Gabe: "No, I twisted it on purpose. I wanted to express how hard marriage is"
Rain: "You have to be careful, don't underestimate these"
This dialogue seems like a defense of his own scripts, and like a sarcasm for those who question him: I'm not who you say I am.
There is also a passage of Rain saying to Gabe, as if to imitate the people who questioned him:
"You as a mature thinker let your protagonist waste so much emotional energy indulging in a dysfunctional relationship that you fantasize about and a super sexy and inspiring woman who is actually sick at all. "
Every Woody Allen movie is worth watching countless times, and it's really fun to think about what the old man wants to say frame by frame.
He deserves it.
