This time the prolific director filmed "Cassandra Dream" (Cassandra in Greek mythology, is a woman who hurts men), saying that indulging in gambling and femininity will gradually sink into the mud, and then make a big mistake. Dealing with such primitive humanity archetypes is a bit like playing a moral drama. Will the always playful Woody Allen do this?
Woody Allen deals with familiar stories about prototypes this time, sticking to the simple and straightforward plot, without disturbing any tricks, and is willing to tell the old-fashioned plot very lightly and flatly. So, where is this movie interesting? And what is the intention of the director? I didn't want to get through for a while.
After all, Woody Allen is very self-conscious. The movies he made are never mother-in-law, unreasonable, unscrupulous, and do not create cheap theatrical effects. His movie is clean, the plot advances refreshingly, and he only shows the process of the two protagonists step by step toward the abyss. Is he going to be a film philosopher, discussing the archetype of "guilt"? According to Woody Allen's character, he doesn't seem to be going this way. So what is the so-called story of his original humanity prototype in 2007? The only explanation I can find is that he gave a plain version of an Ingmar Bergman-style movie. Swedish black-and-white movies will undoubtedly make some viewers very hard to watch, so it is actually worthwhile to make a more interesting version of the original human prototype problem story in 2007.
This time, Woody Allen tells an old story flatly and straightforwardly. On the contrary, it shows the skill and style of his director: the film develops fast, the plot is compact, the actors perform naturally, and the dialogue, plot and screen design (such as the management of the restaurant by the brother, the fan As an actress; my younger brother is a car technician; the two brothers bought a boat for fun, etc.), there is fun everywhere, and it is indeed very easy for the audience to absorb.
This film has a bit of weight in the thematic, artistic, and entertaining aspects, but it is not so important. Generally speaking, it is not an important work.
Woody Allen has been filming for more than 40 years and has accumulated a lot of followers, so his handy game work can be regarded as a sketch for his loyal fans. In fact, this movie makes full use of the characteristics of the streets of London (driving to the outskirts can meet the erotic girl, and killing in the street in the noble residential area can also escape), in addition, telling this old story in London, plus the soundtrack of Philip Glass, It does show a classic taste, and I believe his fans will be satisfied.
