If "Annie Hall" was Woody Allen's love letter to love, and "Purple Rose of Cairo" was written for film, then "Manhattan" was undoubtedly written for New York. No matter whether it is Paris, Rome, or Greece, they are no match for his love for New York. Even if the city is devastated by modern reinforced concrete and concrete, he is still willing to let those romantic stories happen here.
Woody Allen has always been rude to his own deconstruction and ridicule. He has a clear self-awareness. Even if he talks about Nabokov, Kafka, Bergman, and Fellini, how many book bags have he lost? , his real life is still a mess. He was so cowardly, he didn't expect the courage to come from a 17-year-old child "you should have confidence in people". He hated Keaton's self-righteousness at first, maybe even her Philly accent, but then, walking down the Hudson River one night together, he fell in love with her. But as Allen himself said in "Annie Hall", love is so absurd. Who knew that Keaton was still thinking about Yell, and the child had already been heartbroken by him. Everyone started a new life, only Isaac stayed where he was, still so cowardly, incompetent, and didn't understand love.
