Annie Hall Review

Rating: 7/10 (8 December 2014)

I love the various editing strategies used in this film. I like the constant flashbacks that are used to tell the back story but the interesting aspect of this is that the two main characters, Woody Allen and Diane Keaton, are always in present time having a conversation about the good old times in the flashback. These flashbacks told the story of how they got to be the people they were currently, and how they got to be in the relationship they currently were in. I though this was a cool and interesting way to tell the back story. I also like that Woody Allen is the main character, but also is doubling as the narrator. The camera will focus on him, and the background will go fuzzy and mute everyone else out, while he talks to the camera and engages the audience (you) into the story. The editing strategies, I think, made the movie.
