Manhattan's love letter to London

1. I really like the two passages at the beginning and towards the end of the movie. "I think the essence of art is to provide a kind of working through the situation for people, you know, so that you can get in touch with feelings you didn't know you had, really." "People in Manhattan who are constantly creating these real unnecessary neurotic problems for themselves cause it keeps them from dealing with more unsolvable terrifying problems about the universe." 2. Yere preaches art, Isaac appreciates courage and talent, and they argue over it for over twenty years year. However, in my opinion, Yere is the one driven by courage. It is Isaac who needs real art to package and even protect himself, especially after he quit his job on a whim, he is not so indifferent, but shows Out of anxiety, he is extremely lack of trust in people, and also in himself. In fact, what we praise is often what we long for and lack. 3. There are a lot of men and women in the world who are obsessed with each other. Don't call yourself an infatuated person. Are you not afraid that there will be a face-slapping day? It's human nature to like the new and hate the old, and regret afterwards is the nature of human beings. Even the toys that were hard to get when they were young would be thrown away, so why say the constancy of love? Just don't cheat when you are in love, and consider the responsibility after marriage, this is a wise move. If you really want to be a suave person who loves as much as you want, then don't consider other people's comments. But don't let your willfulness ruin others. 4. Don't be a saint, we are all ordinary people, we don't need to forgive others. 5. "Your self-esteem is lower than Kafka." 6. Look at how young Aunt May looks. 7. Hack Floyd all the time. 8. Woody Allen has always known how beautiful actresses can be. The moment when the actress's hair falls in the last scene is so beautiful, like a painting. Putting girls with different styles and personalities together is a drama in itself.

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."
