Manhattan Beyond the Protagonist

What amazes me the most is that while the lead actors are either vitriolic or neurotic, the rest of the picture is still fascinating.

"What is she ordering from the waiter? Her teeth are so white when she smiles. Did he stare at her so intently when he was just in love with the girl he liked? Is he just like wa and old enough to be the other's father? The character's girl is in love? Where did she learn to smoke? Is there a lot of men lighting cigarettes for her, she is so elegant even in the back, he bought two cigars at the bar and who is the other for? He sees It's so peaceful" The

story is really happening, and people who are so absurd and neurotic about hopelessly literary and artistic really exist. I started to jump out of focusing on the protagonist's story and instead project a sense of substitution, and the story is really happening.

    What a personal Woody Allen love story. For some feelings, we should give more indifference and rationality. In this film, I saw a lot of people, including you, me, and her. "Not everyone changes, but you always have to have some confidence." The long shots of that era were beautiful.

    "People living in Manhattan, they are mediocre, and they always create unnecessary and nervous problems. Because of this, they don't have to face the more difficult life-and-death problems in this world." It's not that I prefer. Black and white, but it really beats "Annie Hall". From Hall's mourning for a person to Manhattan's comforting for a city, the more chaotic, the more charming.

Manhattan quotes

  • [On her ex-husband]

    Mary Wilke: I was tired of submerging my identity to a very brilliant, dominating man. He's a genius.

    Isaac Davis: Oh really, he was a genius, Helen's a genius and Dennis is a genius. You know a lot of geniuses, y'know. You should meet some stupid people once in a while, y'know, you could learn something.

  • Isaac Davis: It's an interesting group of people, your friends are.

    Mary Wilke: I know.

    Isaac Davis: Like the cast of a Fellini movie.
