J'ai vu ce film hier soir. Je ne sais pas si il ya des amateurs de Woody Allen ici, mais pour ma part je dirais que ce cinéaste, c'est un peu comme les grand-crus de Bordeaux...puis il vieilli,meilleur il est... C'est excellent film traite à sa façon du hasard de la vie, de la chance à l' instar de cette balle de tennis qui tappe le filet et retombe ... de l' autre coté et tu es gagnant, de ton coté et tu es perdant. Dans un univers hyper-chic/ultra bourge il n'est pas étonnant de voir quelques exemples très haut de gamme de Jaguar, MB ou BMW... |

..j'oubliais de dire que Scarlett Johanson est toujours aussi sublime!... comme tout le casting d'acteurs d'ailleurs. A voir obligatoirement en V.O...ça va de soi! |

can sixcyl (or any other bilingual member) translate the above post into English? I don't understand French and I tried using Altavista Babelfish, it isn't very good but what it did translate sounded interesting. |

Sixcyl said: "Yesterday evening I've been watching this movie. I don't know if there are other people on this site who like Woody Allen, but as far as I am concerned, I'd say that this director is a bit like upmarket Bordeaux wines... the older he gets, the better... This excellent movie treats on its own way of the hazard of life, of the tennis ball that just hits the net and falls... on the other side, so you are the winner, or on your side and you're the loser. In such a super posh / extremely upperclass world it's not amazing to find several examples of the very upmarket range of Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz or BMW..." And then: "I forgot to tell that Scrlett Johanson is still that brillant!... like all the casting by the way. And of course... you have to watch the original version!" |

Thanks for translating that! At first I thought he was saying something else, however I feel I have to disagree with him, I think Woody Allen did his best work years ago in the 70s and 80s, and now he's kind of plodding along, some of his stuff even rehashes his old stuff (Anything Else is similar to Annie Hall though not as good), this was a little bit like Crimes and Misdemeanors, though not as good either. Personally I just didn't think too much of this, some of the direction seemed pretty amatuerish, and I just didn't have much sympathy for any of the characters, they were just too rich to feel sorry for, particularly the main character, Chris Wilton (Jonathon Rhys-Meyers) he just seemed like a bit of a social climber trying to fit in with the posh crowd and once he became a murderer (sorry if I'm spoiling this for anyone) I cared even less about him. Except for Scarlett Johansson, she was the only character I had any real sympathy for (and of course she's still gorgeous). So this wasn't one of Woody Allen's better films (though notable for being set in London instead of New York), but that's just my opinion. -- Last edit: 2007-07-29 18:28:36 |

Also just to give people an idea of what it's like being a non-French speaker and having to reply on the Babelfish translator this is how Babelfish ( http://world.altavista.com/tr ) translates sixcyl's comment: "I saw this film yesterday evening. I do not know if it ya amateurs of Woody Allen here, but for my part I would say that this scenario writer, it is a little like the large-vintages of out-of-date Bordeaux... then it, better it is... It is excellent film milked with its way of the chance of the life, of the chance following the example EC ball of tennis which tappe the net and falls down... of the other with dimensions and you are gaining, of tone with dimensions and you are losing. In a universe bourge it will hyper-chic/ultra is not astonishing to see some very top-of-the-range examples of Jaguar, MB or BMW..." That bit where it says that the film is like out-of-date Bordeaux especially gives you the wrong idea. -- Last edit: 2007-07-29 18:35:52 |

From IMDB trivia: During the time that Chris is waiting across the street for Nola to finish with her audition, as vehicles busily drive by in the background, he moves from one position on the base of the statue, where he is seated, and takes a seat at another position. As he continues to patiently wait for Nola, a second truck drives by in the background and, although it's a bit fuzzy, the driver "flips the bird" towards camera. ![[Image: matchpointmiddlefingerto1.th.jpg]](http://img409.imageshack.us/my.php?image=matchpointmiddlefingerto1.jpg "http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/3166/matchpointmiddlefingerto1.th.jpg") It's funny (though it's easier to see if you watch the movie, you can see his whole hand movement which makes it easier to tell what he's doing), though I don't know if it's worth listing the vehicle (I know, I know, antp, I'm more interested in some bloke being vulgar than one of your beloved Saabs  ). I reckon the lorry driver was sticking his middle finger up at another motorist (most likely the person in the blue BMW) rather than the film crew, it just happens to be in the direction of the camera. Watching the scene, I think the two vehicles were trying to squeeze past each other, the lorry driver pokes his head out of his window like's he's saying something to the BMW. |

What do you think about the lorry with the driver giving the finger, worth listing for this? -- Last edit: 2007-08-15 22:33:21 |

It has a kind of role, so yes. Edit: or maybe I misread the imdb info, the truck driver has no role actually? -- Last edit: 2007-08-14 01:05:30 |

Somehow I don't think Woody Allen would want some bystander making rude gestures towards the camera while the audience is supposed to be watching Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, the truck is passing by purely by chance as part of the background traffic, this bit is of course filmed on location rather than in a closed set. You won't find "Truck Driver Giving the Finger" in the credits. |

Just like if all the vehicles used in films were actors, you would not find all these background cars in the credits either!  (you don't have to answer this antp .gif ";)") ) -- Last edit: 2008-02-01 19:17:44 |

It is not an exact parallel with actors though. You say that I do not have to reply, but they why repost here, on that page where I obviously missed your previous post? |

I just felt like making a little statement, I didn't necessarily want to begin another discussion. -- Last edit: 2008-02-02 15:14:08 |

Thank's to Mike for the translation of my first comments... G-Mann , I agree with you and the lack of sympathy about characters in this film. But that should not make this film bad. This film shows selfish and individualist characters as common behaviour in nowadays lives. Now, I think Woody Allen has made very good films,very different ones from the others, since the 90's ... changing a lot from his too boring introspective innish period of "Annie Hall" ... etc ... |

There's a missing VW Golf convertible, part seen but easily identifiable and noticeable, that is visible for a decent amount of time in the background about 25-30 minutes into the movie. -- Last edit: 2013-07-25 01:44:59 |
