Meryl Streep in 1979 was so beautiful. In New York in 1979, the clothes people wore were not as different as they were now. It was fashionable or popular, and it would not take too long to go through a cycle. For more than 30 years, even in Woody Allen's lifetime, this small and wretched man has done one thing to express his "big city, small love" with cinematic images and chatter. Whether it's New York, London, Rome, or Paris, he runs around the world, picking flashy cities and girls from unknown sources to express his entanglement between sex and love. At the end of the film, when he faced his little girlfriend who had left him, he showed an indescribable smile. His thoughts on women will always be so indescribable.

Manhattan quotes

  • Yale: You know we have to stop seeing each other, don't you.

    Mary Wilke: Oh, yeah. Right. Right. I understand. I could tell by the sound of your voice on the phone. Very authoritative, y'know. Like the pope, or the computer in 2001.

  • Isaac Davis: You know what you are? You're God's answer to Job, y'know? You would have ended all argument between them. I mean, He would have pointed to you and said, y'know, "I do a lot of terrible things, but I can still make one of these." You know? And then Job would have said, "Eh. Yeah, well, you win."
