Woody Allen, long-awaited.
At 9:47 in the morning, get up on time, shower, change, eat, excrete, then close the windows and curtains, I start watching this Annie Hall.
This Woody Allen has a very characteristic appearance. He is 1.68 meters tall in front of Annie. When he was playing tennis, he saw his tiny legs, a pair of big glasses, and his incomplete hair that began to fall out. A weak intellectual who looks like a scholar, but he is humorous and witty. The role in the play is similar to that of this person. He is also a playwright and a well-known master of comedy, and
his identity as a Jew is always wiped out in conversation and laughter. It makes people feel that this is a ill-fated and mysterious nation with a long and glorious history, but the anti-Semitic movement in modern Europe, Zionism, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the American Jewish community, those outstanding Jewish greats. , Einstein, Marx, Kissinger, Freud, Kafka, and of course, Woody Allen, this last one seems to be an atheist.
The whole movie is a bit like Woody Allen's personal performance show, a bit surreal, those conversations with passers-by, the insincere words between the conversations, the non-stop rapping cute long sentences without expression, I feel it from his face It's hard to find expressions, you can only understand from his language and tone, his face is the same line. You only see a mouth closed under a pair of glasses.
This kind of movie is very comfortable to watch. Did we find ourselves in it? Maybe, he just reflects his confusion, or some views on the world, and it stirs our nerves, and we feel like we like him and watch it until the last second, otherwise, it's like sometimes we watch a It's an exciting drama, but the plot is blatant and vulgar and popular, so I won't be interested in watching it, and this film, this type of film, is not a plot, to be honest, I don't care about him and Annie in the end. What is the ending, he is not telling a story, the story is just a carrier, when he speaks to the audience to the camera, it feels a bit magical realism, reality seems to be a doll to play with, what we think is that there is no such thing in reality. occurring.
The absurd is a horror. Real, so scary.

    if this is not the best comedy ever...

    What a lovely movie TT said that Annie Hall is like the goddess of these cynical, lonely and self-admiring intellectuals, except for the best students will grow up. And those self-deprecating, god-like perspectives are probably sweet complaints about this contradictory life.
