Modern Love Story

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2019)

Annie Hall is founded upon couple of modern perspectives of life presented to the viewer in Allen's jokes. the validity of these "jokes" unravels throughout the movie up until that last kiss preceding Allen's monologue.
People start to see each other for one reason or another and soon they sleep with each other even though they can see from the day one that what in the other person's personality would start to bother them very soon, but they proceed regardless because we are all afraid of loneliness. It is portrayed after Alvy and Annie first break-up.
How a relationship ends up to be is much affected by chance and sort of mysterious randomness. Allen is the master to picture that. When we see flashbacks of previous relationships of characters we notice that each of them could be equally meaningless or fulfilling. There is no majestic glow of eternal love in any of them, and I believe this is what characterizes modern love.
