Whatever works...

Woody老师2009年的作品，他自己不演了，找来了同样神经质的Larry David来演一个自认为是天才物理学家，对人性极度悲观的糟老头子Boris。老头子和一群老友斗完嘴回家，在门口遇上了离家出走的美少女Melody。这怎能不让人联想到82配28呢。当然更搞笑的在后面，美少女的妈妈投奔女儿来到纽约，从一个保守的南方信徒家庭主妇摇身变成了享受一后两王三人行的艺术家。美少女她爹紧随其后，也来到纽约，终于在酒吧间里也性觉醒了，原来他是个homo。最后美少女在大帅哥面前败倒，找到了属于她的爱情。

看Woody老师的电影就是在阅读他的世界观。他相信人生充满uncertainty，而luck在相当程度上主宰了命运。此片其实并无新意。关于blind chance的论点，早在Match Point里可见一斑。关于threesome的性幻想，让人想到Vicky Cristina Barcelona。而这部电影的名称让我想到某人的id -- 爱谁谁。怎么说呢，听听Boris那些cynical+sarcastic的话，还算有意思吧。另，自Jonathan Rhys Meyers，Woody Allen这次又启用了The Tudors里的又一大帅哥Henry Cavill。那么看看帅哥美女也算是看Woody老师电影的by-product吧.

I happen to hate New Year's celebrations. Everybody desperate to have fun. Trying to celebrate in some pathetic little way. Celebrate what? A step closer to the grave? That's why I can't say enough times, whatever love you can get and give, whatever happiness you can filch or provide, every temporary measure of grace, whatever works. And don't kid yourself. Because it's by no means up to your own human ingenuity. A bigger part of your existence is luck than you would like to admit.
