"Annie Hall": Woody's Perspective (1)

Elmore 2022-03-20 09:01:21

Woody Allen is a director who always surprises us.


Many love movies rely on "speaking": all plot trends,


The protagonist's inner changes,


supporting characters,


All, Cheng, rely, mouth. - "Look what runaway film"
Woody Allen's movie by • also "say" the same word, meaning is completely different.
1. I have been filming "Annie Hall"
all my life. Some directors have been making a movie all my life .
Wong Kar-wai has been filming "The True Story" all his life: it's about the intimacy of people in love, the alienation in their hearts, the lack of a sense of belonging, and the waiting without results...
Michael Bay, who has been filming "Transformers" all his life : Bang bang bang, run run run, ah ah ah, my God, big breasts, US military, dirty jokes...
Woody Allen made an "Annie Hall" in his life.
Students who have watched "Midnight in Paris", "Midnight in Barcelona" or "Blue Jasmine" know that Woody Allen's movies have always had three treasures: cheating, chattering, and middle-class cowards. Taking a city as a carrier, the protagonist of Woody's film is always in a state of anxiety and hesitation, hating others and hating himself, and at a juncture in life, a woman will appear, and she seems to be destined no. .1, after a long time, it is often unsatisfactory...
------ (The following content contains spoilers)
The carrier of "Annie Hall" is Woody Allen, who was born and raised in New York, Alvey • Singh is a political joker from a Jewish family who hates the world as much as he hates himself.
One day in his life, he met a woman, Anne Hall. The main line of the story is the process of the two from being together to separating - interestingly, the film does not start when they meet, but from their quarrel in the theater, which is exactly in line with Elvie's "I broke up with her" tone.
Interesting perspective starts here:
2. The fourth wall
What is the "fourth wall"? Among the commercial films in recent years, the more famous fourth wall comes from "Deadpool", the master of swearing who occasionally removes Kaimara left a deep impression on the audience. Deliberately breaking the distance between the film and the audience and interacting with the audience is the "fourth wall". And nearly 30 years ago, this romantic film that beat "Star Wars" to win the Oscar for best film has been used several times.
There is the following scene in the quarrel between Alvey and Annie: a professor shares his feelings about TV and movie directors with his female companions in the process of queuing. In terms of words, this professor can be regarded as restrained, but our Xin Greg was rather unhappy about this, and he shouted:


These words penetrated the thin screen, the professor walked out of the crowd, and we became the aunts of the neighborhood committee who watched the fun and did not take it too seriously, and listened to their debate:


Alvey took the lead:


The professor returned the blood and tried to attack: "I teach TV majors. There are many people who look down on me. How old are you?"


Alvey calmly summoned the Renminbi player teammates:


The teammates of the RMB player gave a crit: "At your level, do you still want to be a beast?"


Professor: Graduated.
This episode appeared in the gap between Annie and Alvey's emotional breakdown. It seems to have nothing to do with the love between the two, but in fact, it has vividly shown Alvey's critical and infallible side, and runs through Woody Allen. The ridicule and ridicule of intellectuals in the past have no reservations here.
The mediocre director may only use a tearful scene to pass it on in one stroke, while Woody Allen recklessly broke the fourth wall and worked with the professor to find the audience's "reason", which raised the audience's excitement shortly after the opening. Participation value, people have a preliminary identification with Alvey, a serious, angry and ridiculous intellectual.
3. Guess what, what am I thinking?
After Elvy's first and second wife and some fragmentary memories, the curious Elvy and Anne's first meeting finally arrived. As we can see, Elvy's first meeting Annie is full of energy, I can't stop laughing, my driving skills are so bad, I will say when I'm nervous


It was such a woman who sparked an upsurge in the whole nation to imitate Anne's dress style at that time, which is another digression.
Really let us see the paragraph where Woody was having a good time. When Alvey visited Annie's house as a guest, the two chatted and went to the rooftop, and the two began to chat (che) about their own (hu) life ( yan) feeling (luan) thinking (yu):
Alvey took the lead in raising the topic:


At this time, the focus of the scene finally arrived. The yellow characters were hit by the director on the screen, which played the biggest face-slapping effect on the characters' words:


The following psychological activities completely exposed the old story of the romance film:
psychological activities under the sublime topic:




The hesitation of the two also basically exposed the content of the yellow characters:




This paragraph is about the temptation after the first encounter. Even though both of them have had multiple love experiences (Alvey has two ex-wives, Annie's psychological activity has a sentence "Don't be an asshole like other men"), the temptation is still full of There are clumsy routines (as if I am not writing articles), obscene and somewhat cute mental activities (all want to go to bed), and ignorant tension and anticipation (oh what the hell am I writing).
The first meeting of the two has already been so content, what will happen next, please see the next chapter: "Part about sex".
(Do you still have the patience to read a little more words!)
