Watching Woody's movies are always full of lines, making you too late to watch. But as long as you look carefully, you will discover how talented Woody is as a director, and he often breaks the traditional narrative structure and jumps out to explain himself, one will be the person in the play, the other will be the third person, this The performance is especially obvious in "Annie Hall".
In "Manhattan", the lines are filled with a lot of information: Kierkegaard, Bergman, stability, negative sensibility, loyalty...It can be said that some people may look confused. , But some people are always understanding. This is like the allusions in ancient Tang poems. The deeper you hide, the harder it is to read. If you encounter someone who knows how to interpret, you will get great enjoyment from the poem, and the poem is highly regarded. That’s why there was a lot of entertainment among ancient humanities, literati, and writers, and Woody’s films were just like that. He was not filmed for everyone. Those petty bourgeois who thought they were well-educated especially liked it. He catered to an emptiness, The mind that is swelling and wanting to sell to the outside world.

    I deeply feel that I and Woody Allen are really at different wavelengths. Although I know that the director's intention is not to promote, I still can't control the instinctive disgust and nausea, perhaps because the film is always described objectively and cannot see the position of the film. Thinking about it carefully, probably from the very beginning, a 42-year-old middle-aged man couldn't bear it when he slept with an underage girl, and the subsequent plots that destroyed the three views became even more disgusting. The style is very bad, the influence is very crooked, and the negative points are thick.

    Woody Allen-style middle-class talker syndrome, the ability to ramble is not as strong as "Annie Hall", which is better than a small fresh stubbornness. Merryl Streep made a cameo role in the film. She didn't have a lot of scenes, and she didn't have much room to play. It's just that Aunt Mei, who still has a charm today, was amazingly beautiful back then.

Manhattan quotes

  • Emily: Well, I don't think 17 is too young. Beside that, she's a bright girl.

    Yale: You'll get no argument from me. I think she's terrific. He could do a lot worse. He has done a lot worse. I just think he's wasting his life. You know, he writes that crap for television.

  • Yale: What about Isaac? We can't abandon him, you know? He can't function anywhere other than New York, you know that. Very Freudian.
