  • "Bananas" can be said to be the most hilarious, absurd and outrageous movie in Woody Allen's movies. The film was shot in 1971, and the atmosphere is contaminated with the characteristics of the American rebel culture since the 1960s. In the film, the girlfriend NANCY, played by Woody Allen’s second wife, LOUISE LASSER, is a Feminism in the film and a social movement. After the opposition, they supported the revolutionary riot movement in the country of San Marco. She is the kind of radical youth, the kind of young woman who advocates all independence (women's independence, ideological independence, national independence), so Woody Allen in front of her is simply a silly scumbag.

      Libido, so glad to be foolish, take me for a fool~

      I sent the account to cancel, and I transferred it to the ticket circle and assigned it

      Libido, take me for a fool

      Today I listened to the ending song again, it was pretty good

      Cause I believe in loving

      Some people take me for a fool

      Cause I believe in giving

      They seem to take me for a fool

      'Cause I believe...

      What a banana

      After watching "Annie Hall", I always felt that if it were not for the New Yorker, it would be difficult to fully appreciate the wit of Woody Allen movies. It is as if foreigners saw Fu Biao cry in tears in the "big names", "The Chinese entertainment industry has collectively supplemented the calcium". At most, they think his performance is funny, but he won't applaud his lines. Another example is the Chinese translation of Woody Allen's collection "Mensa's Prostitute" last year.

      So...

      Bones and Bananas

      Revolution can excite the audience as much as sex. Of course, the audience is not perverted. After all, they have seen it countless times. It's just on TV. And these two things need to be "fired". Participation in politics can satisfy your self-esteem. There is even a chance to make you famous. But after thinking about it, even your roll of sheets will be broadcast live all over the world. I still want to live a solid life.

      For people like me, it's not as tough as an iron bone...

      Get jokes from both the Banana Republic guerrillas and the ruler at the same time

      "Bananas" (Bananas, 1971) belongs to Woody Allen's early comedy works. At this time, he was still in the apprenticeship stage of directing movies. The main talent he could deploy came from his accumulation as a joke writer and American stand-up comedian. Allen plays the actor Fielding, a blue-collar ordinary person who has many obstacles in the process of pursuing love. For example, a girl asked him to say "I love you" in French in order to cause emotional impulse, but he couldn't. He could...

      It's still full of fun, but I really don't like this one too much, and I still can't accept that Woody Allen made the movie too hilarious, the comedy effect is too much, and the nonsensical style in the film is placed in the story. It is very deliberate, and the connection of the plot is like a piece of cake. Every scene is like a short drama like "Ms. Diaosi". I didn't like that kind of form very much. The film basically doesn't laugh out...

      When I read The Prostitutes of Mensa, I thought, when will these stories be made into movies? After reading "Banana", I know that it has been adapted since 1971. But the young Woody Allen is obviously out of his game, and cleverness is not enough to support a great movie, and the style is really...

      It's absurd, weird, and full of dark humor. It's a bit "Dictator" style, but I really like this type of film and watch it with relish. The finale adds to this absurd...

    Background creation

    Look at how absurd this movie is. Woody Allen started out as a new product tester, showing how to use new products in front of customers. However, such a thin man with glasses does not demonstrate how to use new products, but how to use new products. Machines It made him embarrassed and beat him up and down, and he regretted it. He said that if he had chosen a career related to his major, he would not have failed so much. His colleague...

    Movie quotes

    • Nancy: Well, then, maybe it's my fault. Maybe I just can't give.

      Fielding Mellish: What do you mean you can't give? Then why don't you receive and I'll give.

      Nancy: I'm not ready to receive.

      Fielding Mellish: Well, then - then, you give and I'll receive.

      Nancy: Well, I can't receive.

      Fielding Mellish: You see, I'm a person who can only receive if another is giving.

      Nancy: Well, I can't give. I'm sorry.

      Fielding Mellish: But, if we each receive, it might work.

      Nancy: Well, I can't receive. My trouble is I'm receiving and receiving and I'm only not able to give or to receive.

      Fielding Mellish: But, I would like to give. If only you could receive.

      Nancy: I can't receive. I don't know how I can help you. I really don't.

      Fielding Mellish: See, if we both receive or both give...

      Nancy: I told you! I can't receive and I can't give. It's not gonna work out.

    • Fielding Mellish: Oh, I got to get outta here. I'm going down to San Marcos. We were going to go down there together on a trip. We were going to write a paper on it. She was going to write it. I was going to type it.

    • Esposito: So, what do you think will happen, if you show your face, any place but here? He will cut your throat and bury you.

      Fielding Mellish: Cut my throat? You realize what that will do to my gargling?
