Bullets Over Broadway (1994) :
Brief Review -
"For me, love is very deep. Sex only has to go a few inches". 20s Broadway blast in 90s Woody Allen style! "I can't get over David. Couldn't you see? Every time I climaxed, I'd scream, David David"! She says. The man replies, "Oh. I thought you said Do It, do it! That's my Woody Allen, who was missing in his previous films in the 90s, Husbands and Wives & Manhattan Murder Mystery. The 20s Broadway exposed in 90s Woody Allen's touch. The film may be about a writer and his complications, but it's the story of a whole freaking big unit where every character puts his bits into the narrative. It's a mess, but not a miss! That's Woody Allen's masterclass for you! There was a Lubitsch comedy called "To Be Or Not To Be," which had a similar theme to a play and the character attached to it. What even a master like Ernst Lubitsch couldn't do, the genius Allen did. It's not a comparison between two legends and their legacy, but just that one project that happens to be on similar lines. We have a writer who thinks that he has written a great play, only to meet a hoodlum who makes his writing better. He has a girlfriend, but he still gets involved with the leading actress in his play. The actress is sexually appealing but a bit of an outrageous character, yet they make a perfect bond. He believes that they speak the same language of art. Do you love me or the artist in me? That's his question, and he finally gets a morally powerful answer at the end. While he was confused during his affair with the actress, his girlfriend was having an affair and even a sexual encounter with someone else. That's how you level things. Allen keeps things balanced. You don't have to feel sorry for his GF because he wasn't a gentleman himself. Yet, he asks the gangster to be good. That's a big joke. Well, that's how this comedy is formed. An ugly-looking dame wants to be an actress, and she gets a side role with the help of the producer, who has kept her as his mistress. Well, she is having an affair too. You see, Allen has exposed literally every character and given them an unfiltered and absurdly funny touch of his own. Don't think; just enjoy.
