Match Point

Spent a couple of hours last night watching Match Point a movie written and directed by Woody Allen. I love Woody Allen movies and I really like listening to his philosophies. I almost never agree with his conclusions, but as an existentialist I find him very riveting.
This movie was slow. I could imagine a wonderful short story to sum up his thesis, but instead they used two hours. There was a lot of dead time, slow dialog, almost no humor (Woody is pretty famous for his humor), and very little action. It was not great cinematography that kept me in the film either. The movie spent all two hours driving into the viewer that luck is the only force in the universe, that there is no guidance and definitely no justice.
I really appreciated how he made his point and there are so many times I feel likewise,... but; there was a portrayal of more than chance. I don't know if it was intentional, I doubt it, but as the main character talked of chance it was ignored that HE constantly put himself in situations. He used to be a tennis pro, grew up poor in Ireland and caught the eye of a coach. Now if he had been a fisherman in Alaska and while working on the boat a tennis coach happened to be rescued from the sea who thought the lad could be taught tennis - that would be chance (still debatable I think). Then he goes to London to instruct at one of the most exclusive clubs. He love art and culture therefore he goes where it is and mingles among the rich and cultured, and acts rich and cultured. Not much luck is needed to be pulled in from those surroundings.
The big 'life is luck' scene comes after a murder. There is a speech that claims quite blatantly that if he is caught at least that would give some small consolation, some inkling of the possibility of cosmic justice, but without that there is only the void. I have to disagree. The common view of God holds that He knows all, we can not possibly track where all the billions and gazillions of choices lead too. We cannot even track for one person let alone all the people of all the ages who are affected by every choice and action. So much more good might be carried out by delaying justice to a point outside of human history - we don't know.
The uber-man can only claim superiority during this incredibly short physical existence, beyond that he can only hope (quite ironic) to be correct.
