woody allen in manhattan

The characteristic of Woody Allen is that he not only analyzes others in a righteous way, but also always dares to do something heavy when analyzing himself, and then he still goes his own way. It's always something about New York Jewish intellectuals, but it always grabs everyone's attention.
Young Aunt May, curly-haired Diane Keaton, flashy Mia Farrow, young Mariel Hemingway, etc., show selfish people, thirst for life, work and love.
The so-called adults are always self-centered to selfish, erratic, irresponsible, and plausible. And only Trish, who is always treated as a child by the hero Isaac, is willing to give, cherish love, and be firm.
This is so ridiculous and so true! We can't avoid it, and we can't quibble.

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."
