Three quarter into the movie, I was still wondering why you like this movie and why did you recommended me to watch this movie. Woody Allen, a brilliant director i’ve heard about for a long time, but never watched many movies by him to remember his directorial style. Vicki Cristina Barcelona was by him, but the cinematography stood out more for me in that movie so I’m still quite curious about his style.

The way the story unfold is quite simplistic, with typically witty dialogue as expected of a film set in UK. But it’s only into the final quarter that i discover and appreciate the simplicity. Using something really simple to depict life is Woody Allen’s brilliance. And I appreciate the imperfect ending too. And the irony in the end is smart!

“The man who said that I’d rather be lucky than be good, saw deeply into life. People often are afraid to face how a greater part of life is dependent on luck. It’s scary to that so much is out of one’s control.

There are moments in the match when the ball hits the top of the net. And for a split second, the ball could either fall forward or back. With a little luck, it goes forward and you win. Or maybe it doesn’t, and you lose.

The narration gives the typical notion. And at the end, it’s the opposite that happened. It appears that he won when he went undiscovered. But did he win afterall?
