Annie Hall is a story of man in search of love in New York city, yet all his relationships en up the same way BREAKUP.

Rating: Null/10 (16 February 2009)

Annie Hall is a film that taught me as a young filmmaker that all rules are meant to be broken. From the non linear way the story is told, to Woody Allen breaking the fourth wall, this film keeps the viewer on it's toes. Woody Allen's character is in search of love, yet seems to have the same problems in every relationship. We follow mainly his relationship with Annie Hall, but flashback at points to other previous relationships he has had. This movie makes you realize that if you seem to be having the same problems in every relationship, the problem is not the partners you choose rather the problem is you. Woody Allen chooses women who feel they are not as educated as him and he takes it upon himself to educate them. When the women get to his intellectual level they leave him, for they no longer need him. It became apparent to me that in order to have a successful relationship both partners need to see each other at an even level. That way they can challenge each other and no one is a dominant force or teacher. This film touches on the complex confusing notion of relationships, in a funny entertaining manner that only Woody Allen is capable of doing.
