Annie Hall's two jokes

I don't have any new movies I want to watch recently, so I flipped out this 38-year-old old movie and watched it again. Perhaps it is because genius is difficult to imitate, and the episodes from thirty-eight years ago are still relatively new. In addition to the Woody Allen-style chatter, the most impressive thing is the two jokes: At the beginning, two old women are traveling to the Catskill Mountains, and one of them said: "The food in this poor place is really bad. ", and another said: "That's not it, the weight is still small." At the end, a guy went to the psychiatrist and he said, "Doctor, my brother is crazy, he thought he was a chicken." The doctor said, "Then why didn't you bring him?" And the guy said: "I wanted to bring him, but I need eggs." The themes of the jokes are a miserable life and an unreasonable love, and the remaining one and a half hours are all comments around these two jokes. A film with such a theme actually makes people very happy to watch, it is really a masterpiece.
