    I deeply feel that I and Woody Allen are really at different wavelengths. Although I know that the director's intention is not to promote, I still can't control the instinctive disgust and nausea, perhaps because the film is always described objectively and cannot see the position of the film. Thinking about it carefully, probably from the very beginning, a 42-year-old middle-aged man couldn't bear it when he slept with an underage girl, and the subsequent plots that destroyed the three views...

    [Beijing Film Festival Screening] Standard Woody Allen-style chatter comedy. It vividly captures the emotional depression and confusion of a middle-aged man. Full of intellectual humour. I believe that many men have seen themselves from the film. Woody Allen's personal disappointment is the audience's favorite. It is more like a prophecy to myself than a love letter to the...

    Cultural circles in the pre-Internet era. He likes to talk about cultural names, discuss metaphysical issues, pay attention to his influence in his circle, start conversations with each other's new works, talk about the noise of the new apartment... all of them are...

    In fact, I have no intention of discussing love. Narcissism is like Woody Allen. Every relationship is about...

    I probably have to shuffle the top 5 of the Woody Allen movies I have seen. Although the story is cliché, it is nothing more than the emptiness and loneliness of high-level intellectuals, confusion and uncontrollable emotional instincts, but as long as it is small. The old man played it himself, with a Diane Keaton next to him, speaking his own lines, both persuasive and completely boring. This is also the first time I feel that the little old man is a romantic person, very good at...

    The city full of literary atmosphere is always full of romantic stories, and the artistic conception of the lens created by the black and white pictures is very...

    When adults fall in love, it's like a joke. Only children are serious. "Not everyone changes." Except for the lines and photography, the rest is relatively...

    Master Gordon's big grain black and white New York is completely drunk, Woody Allen goes around and tells everyone that such a loser can once have such a pure love, compared with all kinds of modern urban adult world. Unbearable, Hemingway's granddaughter evokes all kinds of missed beauty. Beijing Film Festival Zhongguancun 4K restoration...

    Finally finished watching this one. I fell asleep twice in the middle, but I liked the passages I saw when I woke up. The middle-aged man with hair loss responded to the problem of the seventeen-year-old girl and smiled weakly. I have watched Annie Hall many times, and compared to this film, I wonder if the interaction between Diane Keaton and Woody Allen also has a similar pattern with the characters. Very artistic, (pseudo-)intelligent, vulnerable and...

Manhattan quotes

  • Yale: You know we have to stop seeing each other, don't you.

    Mary Wilke: Oh, yeah. Right. Right. I understand. I could tell by the sound of your voice on the phone. Very authoritative, y'know. Like the pope, or the computer in 2001.

  • Isaac Davis: You know what you are? You're God's answer to Job, y'know? You would have ended all argument between them. I mean, He would have pointed to you and said, y'know, "I do a lot of terrible things, but I can still make one of these." You know? And then Job would have said, "Eh. Yeah, well, you win."
