Annie Hall

The movie is not long, but the dialogue is so suffocating, and it may be that I don't know enough about American culture, so I didn't get a lot of memes and humor. But it can be seen that "500 Days with Summer" and "Midnight in Barcelona" were greatly influenced by this film. The contradiction and hypocrisy of the male protagonist Ivy are too obvious. He blindly wants the other party to change, but he does not want to change. At first, he disliked Annie's lack of culture, and later made Annie literate and disliked her success. I feel This is simply a portrayal of many people in reality... In the end, Ivey even saw Ah Q's spiritual victory method in the play written by Ivey... The two of them went to the psychiatrist at the same time and the filming was great, you made me become If I get a better person, am I going to go against my feelings to make you happy? Both are willing to understand each other, and both are willing to make changes and concessions, so that the relationship can be maintained. It is always impossible for one party to change himself to please the other. Woody Allen always likes to use his own movies to illustrate his views on love, and this movie is (supposedly) his most classic one, of course, is no exception. Woody Allen finds it irrational and absurd that one thinks of oneself as a chicken (love), but we still need the chicken because of what it gives us, the egg (happiness, passion) , companionship, love, sex), is what we all need.

    The tone of intellectuals always seems to be invariable: there are endless things to say, whimsical viewpoints, not caring about the influence of secular ideas, and literati are always underestimated, even self-loathing and contradictions. They have been pursuing love all the time, but it is difficult to maintain their emotional life at all, and in the end they miss love extraordinarily. Woody Allen's rhetorical quality has survived, and so has the intellectual tonality.

    Up to four stars, this is really the best and happiest one I feel after watching a few Woody Allen, a collection of all kinds of small freshness and small cleverness. Love, go round and round, sometimes just like this, sometimes just like that, it's never clear, no matter how verbose it is. Diane Keaton's clothes are so beautiful!
