he couldn't even get a single girl on the video?! That's sad. I'm 11 yrs
old boy and I could get all my girl friends in my video(Notice how girl and
friends are seperated).
I don't understand how they could receive such few reviews from critics
with this type of music. Sure, their lyrics are simple but the words send
out a message. Also, the SOUND itself is just captivating. Its so playful
sometimes (such as this song for example) or deep and beautifully
simplistic like "Beauty".
The stupidity displayed in this comments section by the people who are
reducing this movie to a love story between a young girl and an older man -
while making bashing personal comments towards Woody Allen - is astounding.
The movie is a lot more than this. It's quite briliant, as a matter of
fact. I hope you can expand your tiny minds into actually watching this
movie in an impartial manner. You won't regret, I promise you.
Too many comments about "old man with young woman.." The woman in this
movie is clearly an adult. Perhaps you could be a little more open-minded
to the film. I personally haven't seen it yet and actually might not like
it. But remember everybody, a mind is like a parachute. It works best when
it's open. :)
The vast majority of couplings has been between middle aged (and older) men
and young women.
Before welfare and an economy that allowed excessive borrowing, only older
men had the means to support a family. And women needed to start a family
as early as possible.
Further, men mature slower than women when it comes to marriage and family.
Young men have a responsibility to manhood to climb mountains, break new
ground in whatever field they want, and to sow their oats. So, it is the
most natural thing for young women to be with older men.
Further, when the elderly husband dies, his now middle-aged wife gets his
wealth, power, and status to protect her adult children...meanwhile, she
can play around with (possibly even marry) younger men. Everybody wins!
This is how businesses do things...they use the established cash cows
(middle-aged men) to hedge the cost of rising stars. Wealthy people
understand this and that's why they tend to marry with age gaps.
+RockME AllDeus well that depends on the sensitivity of the color brown in elephants scalp during a Chinese mud hole while the wheel of celery runs over the lights off the arctic circle
Smart old guy, young pretty girl in complete awe of him, and they end up
together. Woodie Allen, just watch porn and stop making the same movies
over and over again. I'm very much over this director honestly.
+axelle32 You clearly have not seen this film, it does not end how you assume it will be your prediction here. I saw it tonight. It's a brilliant story or existential moral questioning, if not a fraction let down by a few weaker moments along the way.
+axelle32 Thank you! Exactly spot-on. Fuck, did this guy ever become a complete snooze over the decades. Film after film, the same bullshit -> older guy infatuated with much younger woman, talks in a really whiny and stumbling voicing, and is supposedly "neurotic.' Immediate disposable garbage. I take it that Allen's psychoanalysis either didn't go very well or isn't nearly complete.
This one was different, a bit more on the dark side of twisted comedy. By the way they do not show that much sex any how. The cast was excellent, Stoner and Phoenix were EXCELLENT in the title roles while the support cast was funny and good as well. The whole POV comments during the film were quirky and funny too. The end is like no other in a Allen movie.
