hate this movie

It's not that the filming is bad, but because the author's attitude is disgusting, the level of narcissism is staggering, and all the good-looking parts are directly copied from Godard. Anyone who sees the middle-class satire in the film will be hard-pressed to agree. The author himself is actually more pretentious than all the characters in the film, using every opportunity to satirize things and people he doesn't like. There are also some rambunctious fantasies that are vulgar, further exposing the author's seemingly cynical, but in fact narcissistic, arrogant nature. The author has no intention of introspecting at all. To be extreme, this film can be regarded as a collection of boring complaints after the author's own failed relationship. He has no intention of reflecting on anything, and I am very willing to believe that many of the details in the film are the true portrayal of Woody Allen himself. Otherwise why would he have to play the role that clearly doesn't suit him - ugly, bald, old-fashioned, with a bad accent and bad acting. To expect such a person to have any great feelings is simply a fantasy. wake up! Stop kneeling and licking, he is just complaining, and you still buy it. But Diane Keaton and the characters themselves are unexpectedly fresh and refined. If this nasty emotion was the author's own intention, then even if he succeeded, I would still hate the film. It's a movie that doesn't go wrong in every way, but I just don't like it. For someone who thinks he's quite rational, it's a strange thing for a movie to make me hate it like this.

    Uh... Too many lines, but the reaction is unsuccessful...

    "I would never want to belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member." Such a premise may be the reason why love is irrational (at least one of them). You are narcissistic and inferior, and look down on people who really like you. If people don’t really like you, you might be able to see what a terrific person he/she is. But no matter how absurd the whole process is, it could be rewarding. The technique is so sturdy, the smile is so cute. Happy New Year! I wish you all love each other sincerely, break up decently, and acknowledge each other's good no matter whether it is gathering or dispersing.

Annie Hall quotes

  • Man in Theatre Line: [talking to his date, standing in line behind Alvy and Annie] We saw the Fellini film last Tuesday. It is *not* one of his best. It lacks a cohesive structure. You know, you get the feeling that he's not absolutely sure what it is he wants to say. Of course, I've always felt he was essentially a - a technical film maker. Granted, "La Strada" was a great film. Great in its use of negative energy more than anything else. But that simple cohesive core...

    Alvy Singer: [to Annie] I can't stand this guy. I'm gonna have a stroke.

    Annie Hall: Well, stop listening to him.

    Man in Theatre Line: [keeps talking to his date] You know, it must need to have had its leading from one thought to another.

    Alvy Singer: [to Annie] He's screaming his opinions in my ear.

    Man in Theatre Line: [keeps talking to his date] You know what I'm talking about? Like all that "Juliet of the Spirits" or "Satyricon", I found it incredibly - *indulgent*. You know, he really is. He's one of the most *indulgent* film makers. He really is.

    Alvy Singer: [to Annie] Key word here is "indulgent."

  • Alvy Singer: You know what a hostile gesture that is to me?

    Annie Hall: I know, because of our sexual problem, right?

    Alvy Singer: Everybody on line at the New Yorker has to know our rate of intercourse?
