Manhattan Sense

The whole process made me a little anxious, and what hasn't changed is the collision between Woody Allen's self-deprecating self-deprecation and the ideas of the bigwigs, but compared to this one, I still prefer the one presented in Annie Hall. condition. The relationship between the characters in the film and Isaac can be said to be a mess: the ruthlessness of his ex-wife, the betrayal of a friend, the sudden end of his relationship with Mary, and even the cruelty to Tracy in the relationship. I felt a real twist. Among them, brown water, an old building to be demolished, four people watching a movie awkwardly and ambiguous, couples who are constantly betrayed or in transition, and a bad relationship that has ended but is still playing a negative role. The bitterness of compromise is felt in the smile. A typical example is that Isaac was clearly in charge, but he couldn't fight under the question of his friend's "anti-customer-oriented" question. In addition, it is a little random association of his own. When Isaac commented on Tracy, he said: You look like one of those barefoot kids from Bolivia who needs parents. Are Sha's descriptions the same? Thomas described Teresa as a baby who was covered in resin in a basket and floated down the river. Both imply a sense of protection and salvation. (This is not referring to salvation in the actual sense, but in the psychological sense)

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."
