Passionate Lao Wu, Passionate Us, Passionate Barcelona.
——Young Aspiring Women

This film made my jealousy fill my chest, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time. I'm jealous of Antonio's guy, who has soaked up two American girls in just a few months of vacation. It seems that art is always easy to have an affair these days. I am even more jealous of those two women, being able to meet a more romantic and amorous Spanish man in that romantic and passionate Barcelona, ​​and have a love story. In my spare time, I take my camera and wear slippers to enjoy the mild sunshine of Barcelona in the afternoon, drink a glass of strong but tantalizing wine, and listen to a touching song by a Spanish guitarist.
However, I am still more jealous of the old man Woody Allen, not to say that Scarlett Johansson, a rebellious and sexy chick, has been subdued as a queen, and it is also in response to the words that are currently on the lips of many literary and artistic youths: "With Movies to Travel". At the British station, Lao Wu told a story like the oppressive fog and rainy weather in London, and the fans cheered and jumped Lao Wu was back again ("Match Point"). This time, at the Spanish station, in the hot and romantic Barcelona, ​​Lao Wu continued to tell another erotic story, but this story is like the tepid and lovely weather in Barcelona, ​​with a comfortable sense of humor.
"Travel with the movie" or "Go with the movie to have an affair", this is what Lao Wu likes to do in recent years. Whether in gloomy London or sunny Barcelona, ​​the story takes place without an affair. Lao Wu said, "Midnight in Barcelona" is a love letter he wrote to Barcelona. It is such a lovely love letter, without too many gorgeous, exciting and passionate words, it is such a sweet little love story. 's love letter. Once, someone said that falling in love with a person fell in love with a city, and Lao Wu fell in love with a city and fell in love with making a movie for the city, and we who watched the movie fell in love with Lao Wu and fell in love with Lao Wu's movie , fell in love with the city in Lao Wu's movie.
So, this time I fell in love with Barcelona, ​​the men and women of Lao Wu's story. Therefore, because of love, there is jealousy or yearning. I don't know when Lao Wu will fall in love with a city in China.
I can imagine that when Lao Wu came to Barcelona that day, he ordered a glass of red wine and sat at a wooden table in a simple small bar, watching the passing pedestrians, some tourists, some locals, some sleeping under the eaves Lazy cat with all the things and vibes of Barcelona. So he imagined that two girls came to Barcelona and met a local, and then they both fell in love, but not a simple love triangle, but a special relationship, a special Barcelona-style relationship.
That's why I said that life is endless, and for Lao Wu, it is to have an affair with a city and then make a movie for it. Isn't this an amorous Lao Wu? Because of this passion, those of us who love Lao Wu can be so intoxicated in each of his movies, whether it is dark or bright, as long as it is Lao Wu's story, it is always so cute, this is enough.

I don't know how many people will be tired of Scarlett Johansson's golden hair and plump breasts and sexy red lips, perhaps more people remember the girl Scarlett with earrings. However, Lao Wu is determined to let Scarlett appear in all his recent movies. Perhaps, in Lao Wu's mind, Scarlett is the kind of woman who is suitable for an affair and a story. Although she looks like a sexy young American woman with big breasts and no brains, it is precisely because Such simplicity and directness allow Scarlett to adapt to every story like a duck to water. Whether it is an American tourist, a dangerous person who cheats, or a sexy reporter who pretends to be gentle, I still love Scarlett under the lens of Lao Wu. Even if some people say that her acting skills are mediocre and have no breakthroughs, or the image of Bitch in this film has been criticized by many female audiences. I still like her. Her performance in each of Lao Wu's films is very natural and real, just like a girl next to me.
In Lao Wu's story, the role played by Scarlett makes her unable to be beautiful, sexy, provocative or frivolous. If you think frivolous is a derogatory term, then Scarlett in Lao Wu's story is also frivolous. Cute and touching. In Barcelona, ​​Scarlett plays this young American girl. The most attractive thing about her is her unique view of love and freedom. She goes with the flow, she has no plans, she doesn't know what the future will be like, she doesn't Her casual attitude is the reason I like her character. Just like any girl at that age, she has too many unrealistic ideas, such as trying to make her heart very deep, making her behavior artistic, falling in love with an artist, and never concealing her feelings for others. The thirst of the person you like...
Scarlett under the lens of Lao Wu, although there are not many profound and amazing acting performances, but it is also real and natural. Even if she travels through so many Lao Wu movies, Scarlett is also Not always playing a role or a character, there is never a sense of repetition, even if you insist that she has no breakthrough, then let's just say that Scarlett is the eternal girl in the old Wu video world. She was shot by her lover in London. Tomorrow she will be the tabloid reporter with black-rimmed glasses, and today she is in Barcelona looking for the Spanish man who fascinates her. For Lao Wu, Scarlett is the eternal girl, the eternal female number one in my heart who loves Lao Wu movies.

The only woman missing from the poster is Rebecca Hall, who plays Vicky, but she's the one that impresses me the most in the film. I don't know how many people know who Rebecca Hall is, because she's pretty ordinary compared to the dazzling brilliance of the other two big beauties in this movie. However, it is precisely because of such ordinaryness that her performance in the film is extraordinarily vivid and lovely, and it is also a role that is most likely to resonate with the audience.
In our lives, there are very few people who can take such a casual and unrealistic attitude towards love and life like Christina, but most of them are like Vicky, who follow the rules of life, love, marriage and career, seemingly rational heart But there is a hidden desire for passion. To put it vulgarly, it is like a dry wood. When it encounters a suitable fire source, it will be immediately ignited and burnt out.
Vicky is sincere and lovely in this story, stubbornly hiding his true heart but making a fool of himself. The stable marriage relationship she once longed for has now become the biggest distress in her heart. That Spanish man ignited this woman's lonely and passionate inner world in just one weekend. Between morality and immorality, between reality and passion, this woman is tormented by her own conflicted heart.
Rebecca is very ordinary, tall and slightly thin, so she can't be too sexy and hot, and her brown hair gives a sense of stability. But this woman brought out a unique sexiness because she played Vicky, an ordinary sexiness that comes from the inside and shows the outside. So, in this movie, it's not enough that we have Scarlett and Penelope, because Vicky, played by Rebecca, is complete and cute enough.

When people think of Spain, most people think of Madrid first, and when they think of Spanish movies, they must think of Pedro Almodovar and, of course, a woman, Penelope Cruz. This woman is the darling of Spain and the darling of Hollywood. Even Lao Wu used a few lines to express his appreciation for this woman in this film, such as stunner, sexy, hot, the sexual dream of men of all ages and so on. So, when you come to Barcelona in Spain, and want to tell the story of a Spanish woman, everyone will think of Penelope first.
But, this sexy stunner, in this Lao Wu's story, is not just for creating an affair, it can be said to be a love destroyer, a female literary youth who is passionate about artistic creation, an alternative lethal The ex-wife of a passionate man.
Fans all said that because of his pungentness and retaliation, Penelope was more sexy and attractive, and that street scolding scene was exciting enough. If it weren't for Antonio, who keeps the three women's fans round and round, reminding her to speak English, but she always stubbornly doesn't say it, I almost thought this movie was just an affair story set in Barcelona. Penelope's performance makes this old Wu's love letter to Barcelona not only moving and humorous but also Barcelona-style.
If it is said that people in this world hate paranoid street shrew, then look at Penelope's sexy and pungent, I think she will be the only woman people don't hate who is crazy for love and eventually self-destruction.

As for the amorous Spanish man, the passionate artist Antonio, I don't want to say more. The passion of this man belongs to Barcelona. The slutty and directness of this man is also the reason why he is so attractive to women. Because he is not a man made from a mold, that's enough.

Traveling, on the road, is sometimes not a matter of one person, but a matter of many people. It takes one passionate man and three passionate women, and the stories on the road are exciting enough. It's the same sentence, life is endless, and there are endless encounters. This is not pessimistic at all, it is very optimistic, isn't it?

    Looking at the director from the work, he praised the old man Woody’s view of love. Love cannot be restrained. Whatever is comfortable is not necessarily what is suitable, but what is liked is not necessarily suitable. Whether to always abide by the constraints of morality and public opinion and to love for the sake of love or to follow the original heart to boldly pursue the "love" that oneself really needs is obviously a philosophical proposition and has nothing to do with others. Why do Europeans and Americans roll the sheets so casually (funny face)...

    Therefore, traveling and healing god horses are all deceptive, and character determines love, and has nothing to do with literature and art.
