这部电影，剧情进展很缓慢，讲的是一群蹲过监狱的人想要抢银行的事情，

我也很喜欢抢银行，所以对这部电影很感兴趣，看完之后我感觉我和他们一样，

都抢不成银行，不同的是他们开成了一家很赚钱的饼干公司，我估计开不了。

为什么抢不成银行，因为他们都是一群二货，但都二得挺可爱的，尤其是伍迪·艾伦，

他视偷东西为一项伟大的事业，是一个很有想法和责任感的人，

因为他不偷穷人，只偷不缺钱的人的钱，反正他很搞笑，

正如他妻子的描述，只要他想发亮，他就能发亮····

他和他妻子的爱情很浪漫，虽然中间出过问题，但我一直觉得老夫少妻的组合，排除其他因素的话，

其实挺真爱的，因为两人年龄相差有点大，相爱的时间可能会比同龄人少一点，

但他们不追求天长地久，只要相遇之后一直拥有，而且彼此理解，彼此支持，所以他们是浪漫的真爱。

解决是伍迪艾伦的妻子实现了他的理想：成功偷到一个价值不菲的宝贝，两人去国外逍遥。

他妻子——一个擅长做饼干的家庭主妇，相较于伍迪·艾伦和他一干蹲过监狱的二货来说，确实很业余，

但伍迪·艾伦他们也谈不上很专业，首先伍迪·艾伦他自己就因为偷盗失败蹲过监狱，而其中一个同伙

经常靠烧各种东西拿保险赔偿送子女们上大学·····难道不是一群二货和奇葩么？

伍迪·艾伦在里面说，教妻子开保险箱是他经历过的最开心的事情，最后妻子利用这件开心的事情，

实现了他的愿望，借用一部电影的名字来说：难道不浪漫？

伍迪·艾伦的《业余小偷》，一群想要抢劫银行的人意外的因卖曲奇饼而发了财。发财后的女主一心想要融入上层社会，花高价请一位帅气英俊的人带她提升品位。可惜，好景不长，女主的钱被会计骗了个光，还欠了一大笔的债务。得知女主破产后，那英俊帅气的老师就扬长而去。女主最后发现和原配男主之间的真爱，又回到了贫贱的恩爱夫妻。荒诞喜剧的叙事情节，对上流社会拜金的虚伪作风嘲讽，对人应该保持自我的提醒，知道什么才是真正可以使自己幸福的，要朝着那个方向去，朝着真正的热爱事务，真正爱自己的人去行进。我想应该就是这些了。嗯，不知道是不是我的问题，当然，这部电影和《安娜·霍尔》它们都挺不错，只是，我总觉得还只是不错，也许《安娜·霍尔》是我还没太看的很懂，但是《业余小偷》我想我只能说，还不错。

1. 夫妻俩之间的对立：关于高雅格调与低俗品位。首先定义妻子追求的高雅不是真正意义上的高雅，而是它背后的上层阶级。她的老师看似是有真才实学的人，实则价值观也是和他们一样的，尽管能欣赏艺术并分析得头头是道却不引以为乐，而是为如何变得富有苦心盘算。而丈夫的低俗，更多地像一种平民审美和市井的处事智慧。有些目光短浅，有些市侩。但讽刺的是，即便妻子作出了这么多努力，她还是得不到其他上流人的认可。阶级跃迁本身就是一件带有歧视和偏见意味的事，上升时辛酸，固化便迫不及待成为新的一环，谈何容易。

在劳伦斯的《儿子与情人》中有这样一句话：“标榜虔诚不见得就虔诚。”同样，推崇高雅也不见得就高雅。当然在努力提升自我时这个阶段总会经历，也算不上多么恶劣，但总是应该意识到这两者之间的区别并往后者靠近。区别在于，自我的成分有多少。

2. 抛开这些，单论审美及品鉴能力，片中很有趣地较量了一番所谓高雅和低俗“哪个更有用”。开锁和偷窃、分辨真伪项链等营造良好的戏剧冲突，也令人思考。总得概括来说，它们的用处看似不同，其实都是来源于其中可以被称之为“技能”的部分，比如撬保险箱、识别珠宝。但对于真正不同的观念和眼界给人境界上的划分却从未提及，然而欣赏艺术所带来的启迪与愉悦、良好教育带来的素质与涵养，这些绝对比背下所有以a开头的单词有用；在俗世摸爬滚打熟习的人情世故，经历逆境时练就的坚韧达观，这些也绝对比观察到银行旁边有一家待租的店面有用。从环境渗入到内里的才是真正的宝藏。这些也是夫妻俩从巅峰跌落到低谷还依然保有的东西。

还有贫穷和富有。Frenchy享受前者带来的物质，Ray则“hate being rich”。如果不能利用好富有背后隐藏的资源和选择圈子的权利，那么Frenchy就真的只是在挥霍金钱。而如果意识不到他真正需要的是自由和生产价值的创造，那么Ray就只是在拿情怀遮掩偷窃的本质。这一点可以在对于他们两人性格的分析中更详细地提到。

3. 对于人物性格的分析，两个人都具有多重解读的可能性，丈夫可以说活得真实并知道自己想要什么，也可以说不求上进，心术不正；妻子可以说率真执着，有求知欲和上进心，也可以说爱慕虚荣，天真愚蠢。而两个人历经从物质到精神上的分裂还能end up together，我倒认为并不是他们真的有多么爱彼此，虽然妻子曾对老师说道“我认为出身背景完全不同的两个人也是可以在一起的，因为他们有激情”，但那是出于别有用心的言外之意。更可能只是因为太多共有的经历和记忆形成了一种类似捆绑的精神效果，习惯使然他们已不再能离开对方。这从经济学上来讲也是合理的，如果要再找到一人培养出同样的熟悉和默契，成本远远比维持现有要大得多。现在有多少夫妻之间真的存在爱情呢？人们说责任、承诺，本质上是婚姻的契约形式所带来的植入潜意识的捆绑感。

4. 视角。区分拜占庭和后期绘画的一大重要标志是人物和构图不再是平面而是有了立体感，即台词所说“perspective”。个人认为，区分文艺作品高下的一大标志也是视角。当一部影片给你多重观念的反转与碰撞而不是传达单一价值观，当人物可以被作出多样的个性化解读且都给人以启发而不是只有简单的二元对立，它才算达到了一个更丰富的高度。

5. 总之，一部十分优秀的影片。这是我完整看完的第一部伍迪艾伦的片子，然而我已经很明确地感受到了他的个人风格。密度极高的台词，老套经典的笑点，当你开始感觉有一些无聊想要放弃时，那是他在挑选观众。那就作出你的选择吧。
