Woody Allen's style begins to mature and has new elements. During the period of expression, in addition to the usual humor, it is confusion, helplessness and sadness, and the self-deprecating laughter after being driven to a dead end by life.
There is no obvious story in the film. The clues, in the form of memories and dialogues,
radioactively explain Woody's own childhood and his personal interpretations of art, love, life and other fields.
It is obvious that the interaction between the self and the work itself makes the tricks. A variety of techniques are used without realizing it ~
cartoons, flashbacks, stream of consciousness, split screen, fantasy... The techniques are not so annoying in it, as if the many techniques are just dealing with the complex inner details The details of life
inside It's not boring, but it's full of interest.
The dialogue is also delicate and in place
. There is also intelligence and sensibility. Woody's concern for life is intelligent and meticulous.
However, pay attention to the speed of the dialogue rhythm, the traces of nostalgia. Emotions, like the relationship between Woody and reality, are tense, somewhat absurd, anxious, and intertwined with inextinguishable hope. In the gap
between contradictions , Woody is not suffocated, but walks more freely~ I
admire Woody's Imagination and action, it seems that if the two are lacking, it will not be successful.
He seems to be the first to express the narrative tone of postmodernism in the movie~ Maybe it is the product of the multi-element
extrusion of the era.
