Listen to Woody's storytelling

Woody Allen’s films are always unsightly, why? The most important point is that he tells stories. Even if it is always a matter of men and women and death. You see, in the past few years, he told us a story about a poor boy who climbed onto a rich girl and then derailed and then killed a little San'er; he told us that a beautiful girl student met a handsome rich guy, who almost became a serial killer for the investigation. It tells the story of a newlywed young woman who had a derailment in Barcelona and finally played a threesome; it tells the story of the two brothers who turned into murderers because of gambling money and debts; this time, "Anything is good" is a southern The story of an ignorant girl falling in love with a perverse old professor, and how her honest and pious parents turned into 3P madmen and gays...
see it? All these stories have the most mundane and most appealing content: infidelity, 3P, murder, fraud, old and young love... Change the title to Sina or Tianya's Ten Thousand People's Water Post. Someone with a bit of viciousness even said: Isn't this story the Western version of Professor Yang and Ms. Weng? It's purely obscene. However, in reality, Woody Allen’s films did not contain any direct depictions of pornography or violence. Many viewers who watched "Midnight Barcelona" for the "content" were very disappointed. When other literary film directors come to shoot love between young and old, they must dig deep, reaching the heights of lust, youth, fear of death and joy of love, nihility, and so on. But here at Woody, I'm sorry, none of them—when have you heard the storytelling about salvation, soul, and existence? No, they will only give two appropriate comments at critical moments. Excellent storytellers are somersaults, and the world is insightful and humane is cultivated to be insulted. This is exactly what Woody Allen is interested in. What he is interested in is not the gossip sex, murder and other behaviors themselves, but the people who do it, their thoughts, and the cause and effect in them. This is a sly peeper, waiting for people to commit ridiculous mistakes and crimes, so he can quickly take it and play with it, and then make it into a doll, shaking the silk thread, and screaming "Come and see." The fun is not only the beating doll, but also the expression on your face looking at the doll. Woody Allen’s films sometimes remind me of Greek dramas or Shakespeare, except for their grand questioning and poetic monologues-in his "urban popular moral drama", these become cold words and nagging. Sarcastic: Don't patronize the theater, aren't you also a part of the theater.
Therefore, when many directors are faced with problems such as low creation, commercial compromise, style changes, etc., Woody Allen is like a storyteller in New York, sitting firmly on the roadside and talking endlessly. Thank God, as long as he says, everything is fine!
