Annie. Hall: "Most of us need eggs"

I've met several Woodies. Allen movies, I remember, Woody? Allen's character is always so talkative and a little neurotic. He is even more serious in Hall.

The film is based on Alvy (Woody? Allen's "Talk Show" performance. After two old jokes, he quickly got to the point: Anne (Diane? Keaton ([diane keaton]) broke up with him. He can't figure out what went wrong. After all, he is not a depressed and eccentric person. To prove this, he recalled his "happy" childhood.

However, "happiness" is what he said. The young Alvy we see is not even normal: he is worried that the universe will expand and split, and he likes lesbians to learn uncontrollably; He looked down on his teachers and classmates, which made little Alvy look like a happy little boy. ?

As an adult, Alvy's nervousness intensified. He is hostile to the world, and he suspects that the world is hostile to him. He was nervous, paranoid, sensitive and a little forced-he refused to enter the cinema only two minutes late, and he was very self-conscious-Annie missed the treatment, but he only considered his own feelings.

Even so, Anne doesn't want to leave him, and Alvy won't choose to break up, at least not now, but why break up? Look at Alvy's first two marriages. He divorced Alison only because of disagreement over whether there was a second gunman in Kennedy's assassination. And the reason for divorcing his second wife is not only the difference between the countryside and new york, but new york is more suitable for living.

Remember Julius Henry "Groucho" Marx's old joke-"I just don't want to join such a club, its members are all people like me"? Alvy is serious.

However, Anne is the best lover he has ever had: although she is full of "la di da", reads only cat books, uses marijuana as a sex toy and evaluates poetry with the "elegance" that has long since died in this era, she is beautiful, simple, knows how to compromise, loves him and is willing to improve herself for him.

So, in their * * * time, Alvy spent almost half the time persuading Anne to improve herself, encouraging her to take adult education courses, and paying her to see a psychiatrist. Then spend the other half of her time complaining that her education is rubbish and that university professors are super liars.

"She's doing well, but I'm going to die." Alvy had to admit that Anne really improved herself. She is becoming more and more mature and independent. Alvy, who has been seeing a psychiatrist for fifteen years, is still Alvy, and Anne is no longer the original Anne after one year.

The relationship between the two eventually turned into "a dead shark" (Alvy language).

Speaking of woody? Allen's rap, whether you like it or not, is undoubtedly the most brilliant part of this movie.

Single mouth or counterpart; Sit and talk, stand and talk, walk and talk; Chatting in restaurants, chatting during sex; No matter who you stop, you can chat or monologue to the camera. There are various forms, all of which show Alvy's wit and humor, and of course his nervousness.

He expresses some original opinions from time to time. For example, life can be divided into "terrible" and "sad". "Terrible" includes terminally ill patients, the blind and the disabled, and the rest are "sad". "You should be thankful that you are a sad person," he said to Annie.

He will also invent some new words, especially comedies. For example, he used "polymorphous persverse" to describe that any part of Anne's body can experience pleasure. And:

I'm really fed up with all those people who do it. "

It's a comment. His wife corrected.

"Oh, really? How did I hear that' comments' and (objections) have merged into' dysentery'? "

One-liners are very useful, for example, "I peeked at the mind of the boy sitting next to me" and "That's because people here don't throw rubbish, they put it all on TV programs."

Also, "Santa Claus is going to get heatstroke" and "but there are all kinds of rituals and religious worship here, which can kill people".

There are also some ambiguous but meaningful conversations.

When they first met in after making love, Anne asked, "Do you love me?"

"Love is a fragile word-I love you, you know, I love you, I love you, and there are more and more mouths" (f).

Anne is too simple, or she would rather believe that Alvy loves her, too. But for Alvy, how can love be said easily? Besides, he didn't fall in love with Annie.

The conversation between the two quickly confirmed this.

Annie wants to live with Alvy. She complained that the old apartment was expensive, but she didn't say "the water pipe is broken and there are many bugs."

Alvy immediately discovered the sensitive word "insect" and soon thought that "entomology is a rapidly developing discipline". But this time Anne learned to be smart: "You don't want to live with me!" " "

The whole movie is covered with similar dialogues, which are interesting and profound. In the film, many people do nothing but talk, or just do it for the sake of talking. They are quick-thinking, alert and burdened. Not to mention "Annie? Hall won the Oscar that year, and the film itself was the "Woody Best" of most people.

Even after all these years, see Annie? The visual layout of the hall is still refreshing and amazing: it is upside down, but it gives people a seamless feeling.

Recall that they are talking about what kind of art form photography on Anne's balcony is. Because they just met each other soon, both of them are a little uncomfortable, but they both want to impress each other. The dialogue is very serious, but the real idea expressed in the subtitles is another scene. Compared with each other, people can't help laughing.

There are two people who go to psychological counseling. Woody Allen adopts the form of two characters telling each other in separate screens, which is quite dramatic. For example, two psychologists asked the same question ("Do you often have sex?" ), although their answers are the same ("three times a week"), their respective interpretations are diametrically opposite (one is too much and the other is too little), and this arrangement has a significantly stronger influence on the audience's understanding than the two narratives.

The scene of Alvy returning to the primary school classroom to defend his young self still looks very creative. Especially when arguing with friends and teachers, it is easy to give people an illusion: has this Alvy grown up? And my friend's adult ("I am the president of Pinks plumbing equipment company") is also amazing: I can think of it.

The most famous scene, I'm afraid, is that Anne and Alvy stand in line to buy tickets at the cinema and confront the cowhide king behind them. Cowhide King blew Ferini and McLuhan, and his thinking was confused and his views were extreme, which made Alvy unbearable and scolded him for the camera. Cowhide king nature also not to be outdone. Next, the jaw-dropping scene: Alvy proudly dragged McLuhan himself out from behind a film display board and sternly warned the cowhide king: "You know nothing about my work", which is simply a living Wikipedia.

At the end of the film, Anne left. Alvy put his love experience with Annie on the stage, and the hero and heroine repeated his lines with Annie, but modified the ending. Alvy lost Anne, which did not prevent him from expressing his perfect life with art, because "real life is really difficult".

At the end of the movie, Alvy told another joke: a guy went to see a psychiatrist. He said, "Doctor, my brother is crazy. He thinks he is a chicken. " The doctor said, "Then why don't you bring him?" The man said, "I want to bring him, but I need eggs."

Life is like this, so is love.
