Three sisters

Woody Allen presented the three sisters one by one with an opening family gathering. The eldest sister Hannah was divorced once, and is now married to Elliott, an economic man. The second sister Holly is anxious and nervous. She is addicted to cocaine and asks her eldest sister Hannah to borrow money to tide over the difficulties. Hannah’s husband Elliott, played by Michael Kane, fell in love with his sister-in-law Li... Woody Allen’s work in this period can always be seen in Bergman’s shadow, such as "The Husband "Wife and Lovers" has the shadow of Bergman's "Marriage Life", while the film has more or less the shadow of "Screaming and Whispers". But Woody Allen did not show too much the estrangement and contradiction between the sisters, but divided into three lines to tell the three sisters' personal lives that are full of intersections, and Woody Allen gave himself one: infertility and the eldest sister. Na divorced, felt a malignant tumor, found a false alarm, thought about death and the meaning of life, tried to believe in Catholicism as a Jew, asked Hindu people in the park, and finally fell in love with the second sister Holly who was on the right track of life and was still pregnant. The weird story line of the child. Maybe this is thinking about the benefits of falling in love after life, it can treat infertility... After Mickey, the TV director played by Woody Allen, discovered that she was infertile, his wife Hannah invited a friend to visit her home, and When a friend made a request to borrow sperm from a friend’s husband, the scene was quite embarrassing. Given that Hannah and Mickey had been divorced, it was certain that her friend had rejected the request, and it is not clear whether the relationship has been broken... Na also introduced her sister Holly to Mickey, but Holly took Mickey to listen to underground rock and took drugs while listening... Mickey took Holly to listen to Bruce, and Holly took drugs while listening to each other... Disregarding each other's taste, they parted ways. Until now, many years later, after Holly got on the right track and wrote a script based on the marriage life of her sister Hannah, the two came together. The story line of the idiot Elliott hiding from Hannah to pursue his sister-in-law Li can be said to be a mixture of sadness and joy. The joy comes from Elliott’s idiot fan. He finally captured Li’s heart and got Li’s body, but His unwillingness to divorce Hannah also caused Li to have a new love after waiting hopelessly. Her university professor... The sadness comes from the way Li and the artist’s boyfriend get along. Her boyfriend regards Li as his only communication object and the only bridge for him to communicate with the world. This makes Li bear huge pressure and responsibility. These are two loneliness. soul. The relationship and dialogue between them are quite similar to those of Bergman's movie characters, especially the scene in which Li proposes to break up and her boyfriend finds Li and someone else (Elliott) kissed and then collapsed. And it is Bergman’s queen actor Max von Sudoff who plays her boyfriend. I think this is another kind of tribute to Bergman by Woody Allen.
