The only possible bond between liberals and liberals - Allen did not spare his Jewish peer Kissinger

In "Annie Hall," college student Alison tells Allen's character Ivey that his dissertation was titled "Political Commitments in 20th Century Literature," and that Ivey incorporates many features of the left. A sentence, "Are you... from New York, Jewish, left-wing, liberal, intellectual, lives on Central Park West, attends Brandeis University, went to a socialist summer camp, father has a Ben Shane painting...? "Ivey and Alison quickly became partners, and although they broke up soon after, they finally experienced a period of mutual bond between liberals and liberals, such as the heated discussion in the bedroom of the Warren Commission's investigation into the Kennedy assassination. Is it fair to avoid physical intimacy.
In real life, political differences can also become husband and wife, such as Bill Clinton's 1992 campaign director who later married an aide to his rival Bush Sr. Similar reconciliations are rare in Allen's films, and it is necessary to clarify each other's political stance before the relationship between the man and woman can be further deepened.

Allen didn't spare Kissinger, a Jew of similar age but very different political views. In the 1977 film "Annie Hall," comedian Alvy, the lead character played by Allen, argues that Harvard graduates can also be fools. Why? "You know, Harvard also makes mistakes, and Kissinger taught there."

Woody: A Biography, a biography published by David Evanier in 2015, introduced that after "Banana" was completed, Woody Allen worked for American Public Television. The network's flagship WNET in New York filmed a TV series "Men in Crisis", satirizing then-President Nixon and his national security adviser Henry Kissinger. Of all Woody Allen's works, this one is the closest to politics. He wrote these lines against the backdrop of the American public's heightened misgivings about the Nixon administration during the Watergate investigation, "Attorney General John Mitchell has a lot of ideas to strengthen U.S. law enforcement, and the only obstacle he faces is a lack of funding, And then there's the U.S. Constitution."
A joke on Woody Allen's play also included Mrs. Nixon's tendency to recruit the play's equivalent of Kissinger into the White House to play a role other than national security adviser while he was away. PBS, which relies on public funds, private fundraising and audience donations to maintain its operation, is basically based on caution in American society, and it is difficult to offend influential people. After the Nixon authorities learned of the script, there were rumors of cutting the PBS budget, but Allen refused to revise these political jokes, and the cooperation between the two parties could only be terminated. PBS announced that the production involved Republican presidential candidates, so the Democrats would have the right to request equal time to appear on the show, but the network couldn't meet it, so it had to cancel the broadcast plan. No one really believed the PBS explanation.
