Not everybody gets corrupted.

really?

Or it's just not enough time.

Mary uses Issac as a spare tire, and Issac uses Tracy as a spare tire... There is no real

love for EGO in Woody Allen's film

, and the full screen of mockery

likes his unadorned expression Men, women, and literary youth are all stripped down. In

pessimism , the true wisdom and courage to face life frankly

come and go, and

only the beautiful picture will last forever.

To quote a few of my favorite lines:
The brain is the most overrated organ.

nothing worth knowing can be understood with the mind. Everything really valuable has to enter you through a different opening

He longed to be an artist but balked at the necessary sacrifices . In his most private moments, he spoke of his fear of death, which he elevated to tragic heights when in fact it was mere narcissism.

Chapter One: He adored New York City. To him it was a metaphor for the decay of contemporary culture. The same lack of individual integrity that caused so many people to take the easy way out was rapidly turning the town of his dreams in - no , it's gonna be too preachy, I mean, you know, let's face it, I wanna sell some books here.

    There are no big scenes in intellectual films, and there is a romantic mood in the bones. And it is a high-level joke. Many people in the Beijing Film Festival are as quiet as chickens in "Kafka", "Hitler's Record" and "Nabokov". For the third time, Woody Allen is still the most comfortable movie I've watched.

    3.5. I don't like Woody Allen all the time, but Manhattan has added some favor. Of course, it was also because of Aunt May. Personally, I think the problem with his later works is that he is eager to avoid repeating himself (in fact, his films are always the repetition of his values), creating gimmicks to win the audience's favor, and losing valuable sincerity in the process of trying to compromise and please. This is a relatively rough one, but also a relatively beautiful one.

Manhattan quotes

  • Mary Wilke: Can't you hold me? Does your love for me always have to express itself sexually? What about other values like warmth and spiritual contact? Hotel, right? Jesus, I'm a pushover!

  • Mary Wilke: Oh, God, was he brilliant. I was so crazy about him. Really opened me up sexually. Taught me everything. Women found him devastating!
