After Class (2019)
3/10
More like a 2nd generation Woody Allen awkward movie
14 December 2019
The non-stop blah, blah, and blah of all the characters in this movie is just like what we used to see and hear in every Woody Allen's movie. The leading role as a entry-level apprentice-like young professor in some New York college got everything mixed up, teaching career, his job security, his popularity in the class, his relationship to all of his family members and his temporary lover, his this and his that, everything related to him seems suddenly turn into a situation so embarrassed, so difficult and so hard to deal with at the same time. "Blessings never come together, disasters always strike at the same moment", this old Chinese saying is exactly what we see in this chaotic movie. But do we need this Woody Allen's New York episode in the 3rd kind? Why all the stories happened in Big Apple always tasted so rotten and so despair? Why anybody in this big city always has to deal with these kind no-big-deal or way-too-big-deal craps all the time. The people who claimed themselves New York proud, privileged residents are actually struggling in a harder situation like people living in San Francisco or San Jose, high rents, high living cost, everything so expensive, but does we need to see or hear more of these craps? Do we need another Woody Allen styled and formulaic movie with mouthful blabbering? The answer is NO.
