I always say that this is my favorite movie, but when I saw it, I noticed that the book he gave Annie that kept appearing was actually Denial of Death.
When I was a child, I thought that the key joke that summed up Woody Allen's entanglement was that I was unwilling to join any club that would accept me, but now I found out that the food in this restaurant is unpalatable and rare. Aside from the identity crisis, the fear of death is the motif that runs through all of Woody Allen's films. Life is: the horrible, the miserable, the transient.
"With self-awareness, the existential predicament and paradoxical nature of human beings are sharply highlighted: on the one hand, human beings are the primates who rule over all things, they are small gods in nature, and they are the creators of cultural symbol systems; on the other hand, human beings are In the end, it is a creature, a mortal higher animal, a food for maggots, and a pitiful mortal. Such a complete dualistic split is the absurd destiny unique to man, and the most basic repression that man suffers. It is this repression that leads to the unconscious resistance of man, the universal heroic impulse in man: in order to reject death and absurd destiny, man desperately uses various cultural norms and relationships, such as religion, morality, love, parents, Family, authority, thought, art, etc., try to use their power to create some kind of mythical project, so as to excel and strive for immortality." - "Death Rejection"
Life is so painful, miserable, and unfortunate, but I still haven't lived enough. The fear of death makes us long for romance and heroic poetry, but this world has long since lost totem monuments, so at least leave something behind.
In his later years, Woody Allen would frantically shoot the so-called water films and the stories about persuading prostitutes to congliang - if you can't write famous works in history, let Congliang prostitutes be my monument, and the epitaph will be engraved in my girlfriend's memory. . Even if it is chattering like a microphone, letting the world be disturbed by itself. Even if it is crazy output to girls and audiences who don't understand him more and more, he hopes to leave a little influence on people.
But everything disappears too quickly, and nothing remains. Even Annie is leaving me.
After seeing this time, she suddenly broke the defense, "I really feel that I may have regrets after you said that, because he is very likely to be a very good person." Then this time, she was really leaving.
