Love is a calamity, a calamity we all long for and fear.
There are a lot of movies that both men and women love. Recently, my favorite is "Annie Hall" by the bad old man Woody Allen.
This is an old film full of Woody Allen's personal aesthetics and thoughts. It contains many things, such as love and sex, life and death, Jewish complexes and intellectuals' love contradictions, pessimism and Freud's thoughts etc., but the most interesting thing is Woody Allen's presentation and analysis of autobiographical love, which is a successful and funny romantic comedy.
Ivey, played by Woody Allen, meets Annie, played by Diane Keaton, a daily encounter that connects two different people.
Ivey is a self-centered middle-aged man, a little talented but pessimistic, and sticks to his own cultural outlook to maintain his self-consistency in life.
Anne, is a relatively simple, straightforward and funny girl.
When they met for the first time, Annie approached and chatted awkwardly with Ivey. Ivey also had a good impression of this girl with good clothes and a pure heart, so the man and the woman were interested, and they started dating.
In order to meet his inner needs, Ivey began to build Annie, help her choose books, let her go to school, spend money to send her to see a psychiatrist, trying to achieve the perfect harmony of body and soul.
Anne quickly absorbed everything and became a woman with more knowledge and her own ideas. At the same time, she became more confident, and her singing talents were also displayed. However, Ivey, who successfully changed Anne, became miserable.
Spiritually equal lovers are constantly at odds with each other because of their different ideas.
After experiencing the sweetness and labor pains of love, finally ushered in the day when the love subsided, he lost her.
On the day of the breakup, as adults, they were mature, sensible, and graceful enough to calmly organize and pack their belongings and say goodbye calmly.
But I didn't expect that Ivy, who didn't show obvious love from beginning to end in this relationship, was actually the more painful one than Annie. He broke his usual style. He hated flying and driving. He even flew 3,000 miles and rented a car and drove it by himself, just to see Annie as soon as possible.
Perhaps, love is the most absurd, irrational, and crazy. It itself is the reason that influences your words and deeds and even everything. When we fall in love, we can forget all the theories in our minds and what we adhere to. Obsessed with it, we need it.
Ivey, who did not let go completely, put their love in his own works and arranged a perfect ending. He explained: People always express perfection through art, because real life is more difficult.
After losing Annie, Ivey began to examine their love, only to realize that Annie had brought him countless small and full joys. It turned out that they were not brought about by the so-called high spiritual fit, but were closely related to life. One little thing:
The comfort of walking in the park, the romance of kissing under the night wind in the city, the warmth of caring for each other, catching lobsters running around at home together, rushing over to help her fight spiders at 3:00 in the morning...
It turns out that the most simple things in life, the most authentic things in getting along with each other, are the most touching things that give us comfort and happiness.
Therefore, I prefer the previous sentence to the theory that many people praise and praise the egg that everyone can't live without:
I'm really happy to see Annie again. I realized what a wonderful person she was and what a pleasure it was to get to know her.
Woody Allen is a pessimistic person who also has doubts and pessimism about love. Perhaps in his view, although we can't do without love, love is short-lived and even ridiculous, and "Annie Hall" " is also more like an inevitable love tragedy. In the end, Ivey insisted on his individualism and left himself in New York.
However, I still like the scene of Annie and Ivey meeting for the first time, and the feeling of their first chat at Annie's house. Since everything is inevitably dying (especially love), it is better to remember the initial beauty and nostalgia. .
