Annie Hall

Rating: Null/10 (2 May 2012)

I never really was a fan of Woody Allen films. Mainly because they tend to kind of depressing, but i recently realized that he has a very unique way at hitting the key points of life as a general term. While being his corky, weird, and sometimes overwhelmed self you somehow feel sympathy for the things he does. He is a man who stands true to himself while being as nice as any man could. What i enjoyed most about this film was the way he attempts to put himself and the audience along with him, inside of his memories. The idea of putting his present self literally in the scene of his memories is one thing, but to have his present self talk directly to the audience when this is happening is something I found really interesting. Not to many people have done this in my opinion and its a unique way to add some comic relief.
This film, unlike many of the other films composed in New York City, gave the city life style a more positive look. Many of the city films consist of anger and violence while this one took a more emotional approach. It kind of makes it seam more realistic or easier to put yourself in the composition of the director.
