Annie Hall (8/12) Movie CLIP - Can I Confess Something? (1977) HD

[@gharqad]

The child-like "This is my room" gets me every time. One of the finest cameos in any movie.

[@AMPKlickitat]

it is. Here's the funny thing - Walken is a native New Yorker, but with speech patterns that read more rural (His father was a German immigrant, mother Scottish); he's always fascinating to watch, with speech patterns that put you a little ill at ease. They're slow, but not exactly slow in the way of, say, Maine . . you never quite a get a read on him, and in this character he's perfect, he's got the speech rhythms of the Hall family, but there's something "a little different"

[@gharqad]

@@AMPKlickitat Interesting, I didn't know that. German-Scottish? As someone who spent 4 happy years in Edinburgh and Glasgow, that explains a lot! Thanks.

[@AMPKlickitat]

@@gharqad Walken has commented on how he got his verbal style: "The neighborhood itself, you didn't hear a lot of English. Lots of Greek, Italian, Polish, German, Yiddish. I think I grew up listening to people who spoke English in a kind of broken way. I think maybe I talked that way." Note that first sentence: "The neighborhood itself, you didn't hear a lot of English." - that's actually a German construction, a "subject -comment" architecture, not so common in English, but normal in German.

[@Hernal03]

Christopher Walken's part is one of the most memorable bit parts in movie history. You can't really call it a cameo though since the description of cameo is _"a small character part in a play or movie, played by a distinguished actor or a celebrity"_ --- he was not that well known at the time of _Annie Hall,_ though the following year's _Deer Hunter_ would definitely put him on the map in a big way.

[@brando7266]

​@@Hernal03that scene between deniro and Walken at the end( Russian roulette)( deer hunter), is one of the greatest scenes ever( two great actors,at their peak),

[@dustyratchet9044]

I’ve seen this scene hundreds of times and only just now did I realize he runs a red light at the end. Great touch.

[@guiladepaula]

What?! How come I never. I have watched more than 6 for sure

[@daisyq3418]

Classic scene. Walken was the perfect one to deliver these lines. So quietly hilarious.

[@stevevalkos6308]

and later he did the same when talking about a medal in Pulp Fiction

[@cultfilmfreakreviews]

woody wrote this before it seemed so perfect especially for an unknown walken

[@IvanLendl87]

Woody Allen's reaction to Walken is absolutely priceless - both his facial expression and his line ("Right. Well I have to, I have to go now Duane because I...I'm due back on the planet earth.")

[@creamcheese1048]

LOL Of all the films I have seen "Annie Hall" is my favorite.

[@bdflatlander]

When I first saw this movie in a theater I nearly died laughing when Dwayne was driving Annie and Alvy to the airport. The look on Alvy’s face was hysterical! Funniest scene in the movie IMO.

[@knownpleasures]

I believe it would have been 1977

[@bear5945]

Or maybe 1978... Or 1984

[@johnbrennan4449]

Annie Hall was released on March 27th, 1977 @ the Los Angeles Film Festival, before debuting nationally in American theaters on April 20th, 1977, so I don't understand how you could possibly have seen it in 1976? Rocky maybe, Network maybe, All the Presidents Men maybe, Taxi Driver maybe, Marathon Man maybe, Gator maybe, Squirm maybe, Carrie maybe, Assault on Precinct 13 maybe, Logan's Run maybe, Bad News Bears maybe, The Omen maybe, Outlaw Josey Wales maybe, The Enforcer maybe, King Kong maybe, Murders by Death maybe, A Star Is Born maybe, The Shootist maybe, Obsession maybe, Midway maybe, The Last Tycoon maybe, Grizzly maybe, Car Wash maybe, but definitely not Annie Hall.

[@bdflatlander]

@@johnbrennan4449 : Er, I believe it’s called a typo. Yes, you are all correct (congratulations!), I did in fact see Annie Hall in a movie theater in 1977. Everybody happy now?

KZbin is thoughtful enough to allow us to correct our mistakes by editing, thus eliminating the risks of typos, therefore no more typos.

Christopher Walken just sitting on his childhood bed with one small lamp on, thinking alone until he just spots Woody walking by. Also when Duane asks Alvy, “can I confess something?” And Alvy just lets out a big sigh and sits down. Amazing acting and writing

Two pefect moments in this: Walken's delivery of the line, "This is MY room," and Woody's affected distractedness @0:36. Delicious stuff.

[@noahyes]

appreciate you pointing out walkens delivery. im sure it was written in the script as "this is my room." and chris walken found a way to make that amazing and weird.

[@Gorboduc]

Even the way he says "AL-vy" at the start is... *Off.*

[@technanapi4076]

I just saw Christopher Walken in an interview and he said the credits at the end of the movie "Annie Hall " have his name mistakenly listed as "Christoph Vloken". His agent called and tried to have it changed but they said it was too late that the movie was already in the final product. So it was released like that. Hilarious piece of trivia. Can't wait to see the movie again so I can look for it.

[@SY-ok2dq]

Haha! Christoph VLOKEN. Did the person responsible have dyslexia? Reminds me of when John Travolta said Idina Menzel's name wrong. Also, it sounds way more German or something, than the actual German name of Walken.

[@dewanmdurnto3592]

aaahahahaha This guy talks about all these deep things and then expects a deep conversation with woody but woody Allen just dismisses him lmfao

[@noonecares5340]

Then Woody got what he deserved for being so judgemental and had to endure being a passenger in the vehicle of death.

[@Three_Random_Words]

Alternate idea - (not necessarily better or funnier, just a thought) when in the car, just have their three faces lit up by oncoming cars - maybe 3-4 cars total - show Duane's eyes tracking the headlights of each oncoming car with their faces getting brighter and brighter till the car passes. With the shifting dark to light 3-4'x, both Duane's and Alvy's expressions would get slightly more intense (very suttle) within each dark moment. Also key - no panning shot over to Alvy , and no closeup of anyone either - maybe a slow move-in of the camera for effect, but maintaining the 3 or them the whole time in the shot. Less rain or no rain to so we can see Duane's eyes tracking each set of headlights, and also to simultaneously see the two males faces change. Annie in the middle, oblivious to Duane's suicidal thoughts, her face would not change, maintaining a relaxed detached look with nothing but happy thoughts.

The duality of man. One path leads you to your next destination and your future continues on. The other stops you "dead" in your tracks, forever altering future events and putting you on an alternate timeline leading to a life of recovery, paralysis, or the inevitable death. We choose to live, because we desire to know what happens next. But sometimes, there is the anomaly that wants to know what doesn't happen next.

[@theresagwhite3175]

Ironic how this actually happened to Walken in the Dead Zone

[@davereynolds7472]

My ex had a brother like this. I stayed over for the weekend. On her Grama's farm. "Duane" wasn't talkative. Watched us from the big picture window with the fireplace on. We'd been planning a romantic Sat nite. Sara and I. Some Brandy soft music etc etc etc. i tried to look- Duane away but he was motionless. I don't think he thought i could see him. Imagined himself invisible. I knew he hated me/wanted Sara. Had a loaded shotgun in his room "For Grama's protection."
