Melinda and Melinda 2004 123movies

Watch: Melinda and Melinda 2004 123movies, Full Movie Online – Al, Louise, Max and Sy – four literary types who work in the theater business – are discussing what they believe to be the real life truths underlying their work, Max who writes primarily tragic plays, and Sy who writes primarily comic plays. Al proceeds to tell them a real story of a troubled woman named Melinda Robicheaux showing up unexpectedly at a door in the middle of an important business dinner party. Melinda long ago left her physician husband to embark on a relationship with who she initially believed to be the man of her dreams, which ended up not being the case. Melinda tries to put her life back together with the help of select people at the dinner party, some who have their own ulterior motives. Melinda’s appearance also opens up the cracks existing in the marriage of one of the couples at the dinner party, while it leads to the dissolution of a friendship that has existed since college. With this basic outline of a story, Max and Sy try to make their point of life being truly a tragedy or comedy on spinning Melinda’s story with their own mindset..
Plot: While dining out with friends, Sy suggests the difficulty of separating comedy from tragedy. To illustrate his point, he tells his guests two parallel stories about Melinda ; both versions have the same basic elements, but one take on her state of affairs leans toward levity, while the other is full of anguish. Each story involves Melinda coping with a recent divorce through substance abuse while beginning a romantic relationship with a close friend’s husband.

Witty, incisive, refreshing
This film probably marks the crucial point where Woody Allen takes one step back and lets others take over the Woody persona of a typical Allen film. It’s happened before, in Celebrity and Anything Else, but now the lead characters can breathe as themselves without having to essentially ‘be Woody’. Sure the resemblances are still there but more in the situations than in the characters. Will Ferrell displays proper comic timing and Jonny Lee Miller tries valiantly with what he’s given. The script sparkles with more one-liners than most recent efforts and an appropriate return of the ‘lust for life’ motif seen in earlier films such as Hannah and Her Sisters or Everyone Says I Love You. If you don’t appreciate that comic situations are both sad and full of life, and that tragedy has a fair share of unexpected delights as well as heartache, than you’re definitely missing the point. Woody displays both of these in equal quantity spread liberally throughout the film in all situations. And so what if the end plays more like a series of sketches than a full-on film? It’s the mark of a master than can make us enjoy what we see regardless of narrative form. 8 out of 10.

The Bard of Manhattan
Woody Allen as a stand-up comedian saw the humor in some of life’s injustices. Here he suggests infidelity is one of those injustices. At first glance, this “open” attitude seems at odds with the fact that virtually all Woody Allen films have been love stories (even Bananas!); maybe they’re really falling-in-love stories. To dramatize this story, he wisely included Rhadha Mitchell, Chloe Sevigny, and Chiwetel Ejiofor, whose performances were as hypnotic as their names (the others, in lesser roles, were also good). What happens is routine; it’s just a set-up to evaluate various ways of reacting to infidelity. Some of the dialog is among the best I’ve heard. How we react to setbacks can be an important part of our lives (not as important as showing up, of course). Woody Allen’s philosophy of life isn’t rocket science: when possible, have a good time. And bring a friend.
