Today, Xiaobian gives you a movie "End of the Game" for Amway. The film uses the luck of the ball hitting the upper edge of the net to cross the net during a tennis match to compare the accident of fate. At the same time, the film is a good illustration of director Woody Allen's mockery of luck, but also a mockery of reality - a poor and unfortunate life is lucky because of its inner light, and a rich and fortunate life is unfortunate because of its dirtiness. There is a bit of a sense of hell. The temperament of the film is close to "Genius Ripley", but the ending is different.
The whole film is about the unlucky American actress noola and the poor boy Chris, who are sent to the fence and want to climb the branches, but she repeatedly encounters a wall when she auditiones, not only tragically abandoned by her fiancé, but also tragically died at the hands of her lover Chris. On the other hand, Chris's original crime was about to be exposed, but when destroying the evidence, he mistakenly smashed the ring on the railing by the river and "touched the net", and this important evidence was picked up by another thief who was about to enter the house and kill, and eventually became Chris's scapegoat. At the end of the film, the family wishes the newborn child good luck in life, and chris reads Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" at the beginning, which is ironic.
In fact, Chris's desire is the desire of every ordinary person, the weakness he has, his fear when committing crimes and the psychology of hesitation and luck when covering up crimes, as a bystander, he can fully understand and feel. You can almost ignore the distance between him and you, and even privately hope that he will go unpunished. This is the angle Woody Allen chose, and you can see the sly eyes behind his thick lenses. He makes you feel that you can be chris too if you have the chance.
But reason tells me that the murderer is a man who marries the daughter of a rich man for money, and a man who acts recklessly in pursuit of desire. When desire contradicts money, he chooses to kill lovers and innocent neighbors, he has no love, and there is no love between him and the beautiful and sexy lover, he is an admirer of materials. When everyone is taught to work hard, the turning point in life is often like the match point in the tennis game, the moment when the flying tennis ball touches the net, relying not on training, but on "luck".
Of course, not all evil people will have bad retribution, and luck is really a thing that is really elusive. Don't cheat, be prepared to take responsibility, be honest, or at least have a bright spot. The male second is much stronger than the male protagonist, frank and frank, love is love, no love is not love, like others will be blunt, do not do dirty things. Moreover, the rhythm has the stability of classical architecture, and the tragic opera of the structure is laid on top of the layer and then collapsed layer by layer. The first half seems to be a perilous Billy Wilder secular drama, and the second half is transformed into a gentle and delicate Hitchcock film with a knife in it.
To tell the truth, after reading it, it is really shocking to think about the classic lines. Respecting the director just disagrees with the film itself. Originally wanted to complain about teaching tennis poor boy finally became a well-dressed scumbag beast, but the meaning of this word I put on the male protagonist I don't know if it is praise anyway should not be derogatory, I think ironic, he counts this lucky person? Was he lucky enough to become a rich son-in-law? Lucky stealing not being discovered? Or lucky to succeed in getting rid of crime? Lucky to have a happy family at the end? If this is the case, then I don't want to be lucky, but I want to rely on my own efforts to become a so-called "excellent student", at least down-to-earth.
But for the lucky people like the Krie brothers and sisters who are born with superior conditions, there are not many, kind and elegant, just hope that they look at people accurately; there is a sexy thing like a widow sister who is born with a good skin bag, for men, it should be unattainable, her lucky person's usual opportunities should be more than ordinary people, after all, people will feel lucky when they see a good face... Anyway, until now I still appreciate the saying that "luck is also part of strength"...
"Good and evil do not necessarily have any retribution at the end, but luck is the god who rules everything in the underworld." To reinforce this irony, Woody also arranged for Chris to become Dostoevsky's reader in the film. While reading Crime and Punishment, he read the Dostoevsky fascicle in the Cambridge Literary Guide, a scene that was indeed meaningful in hindsight. Will chris be able to coexist peacefully with the lingering ghosts of the last happy life in the future? Woody didn't tell us the answer.
Because the male protagonist misunderstands desire as love, he regards love as a ladder to enter high society. He only loves himself, and he will never be happy. Compared to momentary choices, luck is nothing. Love and desire, love in the face of desire is nothing more than a victim. A strong sense of guilt leads to a motive for murder, and although it coincidentally escapes suspicion, it brings a lot of mental pressure to later life. This is the most real human being. People may have the impulse to commit crime and the passion to get pleasure by escaping punishment in the subconscious, which may also be the psychological reason why the "aesthetics of violence" has countless fans.
In addition, I have to say that the widow sister is really beautiful, and any shirt is super sexy. In the movie, due to the lack of success in her work, there are often pictures of her smoking and drinking. When the man asked him why he liked her fiancé, she said "well, i think he's very handsome", which may also be one of the reasons why they finally broke up. For the sake of the upper social life he longed for, the male protagonist shot and killed the widowed sister and the unborn child. I think the male protagonist will be tortured to death by nightmares. I like the way her shirt goes with figure 7 denim coat.
Recently accepted too much cheating news, the end of the game just nakedly showed the desire and darkness of human nature, love and marriage are limited things, never test human nature, because can not withstand the test, how many temptations there are in people's lives, self-restraint is a responsibility, common encouragement. As soon as a woman pays her heart, the whole game loses. However, without sincerity, who wants to waste time with you? This problem is simply insoluble.
Therefore, I summarize in addition to the following points: 1. Love is really a combination of beauty and desire, but to put it bluntly, those so-called beautiful things are also another garment of desire. 2, the economic base determines the superstructure is really a reasonable saying, the economic situation of the family on a person's growth and the cultivation of character play a role can not be underestimated, rich and noble than love is more like the tamer of life. 3, more and more believe in luck this thing.
In the end, the ending is very unexpected, and perhaps a lot of things are as important as the "lucky" that director Woody Allen wanted to express. A few words to say: stealing is another translation of this film is "fatal temptation"; you sometimes easily rub shoulders with the truth; men lean on, sows will go up trees.
