Re-watching this most famous and representative chatter movie, you will still be deeply moved by the witty and witty details. There is no doubt that this is the pinnacle of the old man.
In "Annie Hall," Woody Allen plays a comedian himself, Elvisinger, who, like many of his characters in other films, is chatty and slightly neurotic. , self-centered, and some belong to the pride of intellectuals. And Diane Keaton plays Annie Hall, a lively, outgoing, lack of assertiveness, a female college student with a dream of becoming a singer. "Annie Hall" is mainly about the love story of these two people.
The lines of "Annie Hall" play an extremely important role, and the film is basically composed of large sections of dialogue. Through just a few movie lines, you can show the general character of a character. Taking out a lot of lines, you can clearly feel what kind of person can say this. The lines of "Annie Hall" reveal a satire of everything around them, even their own humor.
Elvisinger, a nagging intellectual figure, always looks down on his surroundings. He despised vulgar and ordinary people, and at the same time despised intellectuals who boasted. And why isn't Alvey an intellectual who likes to rhetoric? "I'm not going to join a club with someone like me." The person Alvey hated the most was himself. He knew he was an asshole and tried not to screw it up, but in the end it screwed it all up. He is also an ego man. After being with Annie Hall, he always tries to get Annie Hall to read more books that he wants her to read, and take some courses that he wants her to study, and the purpose is to Annie Hall can communicate with him better.
Annie Hall starts out as a lackluster girl who is drawn to Alvey's charm. Wanting to get close to Elvie, Annie Hall accepted the "learning task" that Elvie assigned her. In the process of study and psychological counseling, Anne Hall gradually developed her own opinion and began to contradict her relationship with Alvey. In order to let his girlfriend understand him better, Alvey let her have more knowledge to be a better match for him. And it ended up leading to a complete breakdown in their relationship, which is a complete irony for self-righteous intellectuals like Alvey.
Annie Hall actually likes Elvisinger, but they are not destined to be together. Elvisinger is more like a shackle on the way forward to Anne Hall, binding her and suppressing her. And love is like a shark, if it stops, it will die. So she chose to end the relationship and pursue a new life. Before the breakup, Elvisinger was always self-righteous and thought everything was fine and looked at everything around him rationally. After breaking up, I finally found that I had no regrets, but love can only move forward and there is no room for retrogression. This is the epitome of a lot of love.
Elvisinger also went through two failed marriages before meeting Annie Hall. As for the first wife, Elvie thinks she is impeccable, but she is not interested because "I will not join a club with people like me". Alvey always put on a mean stance, mocking the chattering intellectuals around him at will. But at the same time he is the kind of person he hates, he is a contradictory person. For the second wife, she often hangs out in the gatherings of intellectuals, and Elvie always puts on a look of contempt. He always wanted to pretend to be arrogant, and felt that he was not the same as these guys at all, but in fact he was not much different from these guys, even with some intellectual arrogance and hypocrisy.
"Annie Hall" is always trying to pull the distance between the audience and the screen characters. Characters in films sometimes look directly at the camera, towards the audience watching the film. Then there is an attempt to communicate with the audience, and the audience loses the option of keeping out of everything that happens in the movie. A particularly impressive place is that when Anne Hall and Alvey first talked at Anne's house, the subtitles appeared in their inner thoughts at the same time. The duplicity of two people, the hypocrisy of intellectuals, and the concerns of female college students are vividly displayed, which makes people laugh.
"We all need eggs" as the last line of the film is an accurate summary of love from a certain angle. We often think of ourselves as rational people, always looking at the world rationally. But when we really fall in love, we begin to have all kinds of irrational fantasies. We always hope that love can be perfect and permanent, but reality will shatter our daydreams. At this time, we often need "eggs" to comfort ourselves, so that we can continue to dream absurd dreams in our beautiful fantasy. .
If I get a chance in the future, I really want to copy all the witty and witty lines from "Annie Hall" (definitely a huge workload), but it will definitely be a lot of fun.
