#FilmWoodyAllen"Manhattan" When I was 16 years old, my friends and I hid in the unoccupied storage room during the sports meeting, and we talked about rock and roll and movies. We talked about Jia Zhangke's movies on the playground at night. Talk about Woody Allen, talk about Chinese rock, talk about Kim Jide, talk about Iwai Shunji, he told me about John Woo’s violent aesthetics, I told him about Jia Zhangke’s realism, he brought the keys to the music classroom, the two of us sat in the empty space. We watched "One Day" in the music classroom, and in winter we walked to the cinema to watch the latest movie, and shared our feelings on the way back. It was a time I will never forget.

    I silently felt shameless that if I were a straight man, I would definitely be of Woody Allen's type. I was constantly attracted by strong mature women who were battling with me. Stop regards the young, innocent and natural girl as the most comfortable "past" and the most perfect "home." Woody Allen used his real life to prove that he is the most accurate definition of "author's film".

    I naturally don't like his dramas, although this and Annie may be considered his highest level, even though his intellectual attitude is so skillfully portrayed that he is ridiculously cowardly, and in a short period of time, two dramas with the same theme were shot in a row. Probably in the form of expression, Annie shows a bit of avant-garde parallel montage and surreal shots. This one is a tribute to silent comedy, and the composition has a more academic sophistication.

    Isaac Davis: Oh, no, sure. What kind of dog you got?

    Isaac Davis: Oh, I would have thought that in your case a Great Dane.
