The Decay of Contemporary Culture

I thought Tracy would tell woody fuck off bluntly at the end, but I didn't expect the ending to be so tender.

the decay of contemporary culture, a city falling in the eyes of intellectuals. Woody is full of narcissistic sense of justice, gossip is the new pornography, infinitely raising the level of problems, refusing to accept the fact that cars, sleeping pills, television, and dating herself with a female school; Mary has deceptive rhetoric to describe the fall of feelings, constantly stacking The vocabulary of literature and art attempts to analyze one's own emotional state, but such an attempt is like a show.

"I came from Philadelphia, my parents have been married for 43 years, nobody is cheating on anyone".

Is it to attribute everything to Manhattan?

The person who makes the most excuses for herself is the writer: professor, editor, writer, journalist. In terms of her mind and kindness, she is not as good as a seventeen-year-old high school girl-although she seems to be just a beautified girl. Symbol: not many words, quiet, ideal like Cezanne's apple.

    Diane Keaton plays the same type of girl as Annie Hall, love the way she dresses & talks! Julie Delpy feels a lot like her when she was younger~

    Diane Keaton is still so charming, and she and Woody Allen's opposite scene, personally feel better than Anne Hall in 1977. And Meryl Streep felt full of temperament even if it only flashed. This film is suitable for the fickle, weak, neurotic intellectuals and artists of that day. There are many possibilities for love, but a 17-year-old girl finally said: not everyone changes, you should have confidence in people.
