Annie Hall Review

Rating: 9/10 (4 May 2016)

This film is a landmark in film and is a classic that goes deep into the nature of relationships. Alvy and Annie are a odd and mismatched couple that butt heads at times but ultimately cared about each other very deeply. While this is well and good we begin to see the characters change and see how the relationship they have have affected them emotionally. We see them losing ambition, settling, getting comfortable, and unwilling to change even if it's for the best. This is true for many relationships today so this makes the story very relatable and funny. The chopped up story telling play a huge role on how we perceive the characters. We see one scene while they are together or another scene when they are broken up and this helps to show how the relationship has affected certain aspects of their lives so it's interesting to see how much love can affect who we are. Every aspect of this film from the camera work to the sound,and even some brief wacky moments thrown in make this a classic. It applies to the time it was filmed (1977) to today. This is a funny and brilliant way of expressing modern relationships and the idea of love and how it affects us on deep emotional levels.
