I guess we all need the eggs

Annie hall is Film-making at it's finest. Annie Hall has everything great cinema aspires to be. It is more than worthy of the 1977 Best Picture Academy Award. First Annie Hall had some of the finest cinematography i have seen in a long time. The simple beauty to the shots, to me at least, were amazing and enthralling. One of my favorite shots of all is towards the end of the film where it shows Annie and Alvy, yet we see them through a restaurant window, with the chairs up etc. To me this is pure brilliance, they could've have simply shot it straight-forward but the fact that it was slightly obscurred by the surroundings is beautiful. Second the themes in the film were great. How we all need "the eggs" or rather love in our lives. Also how the one great love of our life might only last a few moments. Third the acting was great. Diane Keaton was more than worthy of her Best actor, and Allen playing his normal dysfunctional character was great. TOny roberts and Shelley Duvall were also great. And lastly, and to some most importantly the jokes. Throughout the film's glimpses into societal issues, and themes was the great Woody Allen jokes. THis is definetly one of his funniest films. I especially like the Joke "I'm standing next to the cast of GOdfather here," at first we think he's referring to the two Italians near him, but then we realize it's really about diane keaton. 10/10 a must see for everyone and anyone, If you like this i would also advise seeing: Manhatten and Love and Death
