Hannah and her sisters poem Cummings

Escena de Hannah y sus hermanas de Woody Allen en que una de las protagonistas lee un poema de Cummings

[@rtg1960]

I miss this New York. And this film is so......divine

[@alewis8204]

The ways in which I love this particular scene cannot be described in words. I can watch it over and over.

[@jameshowlet5533]

me too

[@Zeppolino100]

The gentle beauty of the woman your icon photo would easily inspire the feelings expressed in this poem, if her character matched her appearance.

[@antonellaleiva3607]

Whenever someone mentions hannah and her sisters I remember this lovely scene .

[@DaveBassDotCom]

This is probably my favorite part of any movie, anywhere. Simply beautiful.

[@KosmosDream]

Too me! It almost makes me choke up

[@pedrobarragan746]

I want to hear Barbra Hershey read E.E. Cummings all day.

[@JuneLynn]

Michael Caine is so sweet in his secret crush of Lee and that poem is the most romantic thing I've ever heard.....

[@TIPTON340]

E. E. Cummings, 1894 - 1962 somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond any experience,your eyes have their silence: in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me, or which i cannot touch because they are too near your slightest look easily will unclose me though i have closed myself as fingers, you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens (touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose or if your wish be to close me,i and my life will shut very beautifully,suddenly, as when the heart of this flower imagines the snow carefully everywhere descending; nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals the power of your intense fragility:whose texture compels me with the colour of its countries, rendering death and forever with each breathing (i do not know what it is about you that closes and opens;only something in me understands the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses) nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands

this shit is deep #nohomo

[@SteveNelsonBrigade]

What with the renewed sense of outrage about Woody Allen's personal conduct (both undisputed and alleged), I think that moments like this sequence acquire even more richness for what they say, in their mere existence, about how complicated human beings are, and about how a flawed -- even terrible -- person can produce something so beautiful. (And this beautiful sequence is itself about something awful -- a budding affair between a man and his wife's sister.) This is greatest sequence in the greatest film that Woody Allen ever made, and it will outlive both him and the rest of us to illuminate the ages.

[@juangonzalezverano766]

This is the best scene in Woddy's filmography

[@KenKen3593]

only in a woody allen movie would telling someone to read a certain poem in a certain book in order to confess love to them, actually succeed, without technical and mechanical difficulties. Still, as usual, a beautiful romance between Allen's camera and Allen's Manhattan.

[@danielec392]

How is it that anytime I watch this I end up tearing up? Marvelous.

[@AGiguere99]

Months after the fact, I must say I love the phrasing of that. It's a marvel he made such eloquent movies. Thank you for giving me a new way of phrasing my love for his work

[@sergiost]

one of my favourite scenes ever in film

[@Zeppolino100]

She is SO beautiful and entrancing. Has been since she was in "The Monroes" a short lived TV program from 1966. How could any man not fall for her?

[@Joanna7428]

One of the best films I've ever seen 🤗

[@feck2112]

I watch this over and over ,just to hear that trumpet.

[@KosmosDream]

My favorite screen from Hannah and her sisters. And my favorite Woody Allen film

[@davidevans3175]

I agree on both points. And add, they are the most beautiful words ever written. I saw e.e cummings flat in NYC in the Village a few years ago.

one of my favorite scenes from the movie......I have always adored Michael Caine....beautiful poetry....so romantic....thanks for posting this.

[@tanthanh1114]

I watched this film years before. Years before I became aware of poetry. I came across this poem one day and recall it being in this Woody Allen movie. There was always the image of this one special person that appears on my mind when I read it, and it gives me this tender feeling. But I didn't really know that was love. Such a shame.

[@Pedrodg1961]

Amo esta película.

[@janotosinnumeros]

What a wonderful movie. Of of my favourite of all time. And when I mean all, i mean "all".

[@karamazovbeeeeeees]

OMG. No, that's a different song. The name of this song is "I've Heard that Song Before." Look it up.

[@munkybrain]

I like the third stanza: or if your wish be to close me,i and my life will shut very beautifully,suddenly, as when the heart of this flower imagines the snow carefully everywhere descending

[@karamazovbeeeeeees]

(The song at the end is Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered.)

Can’t believe Woody Allen made an affair so adorable

Thanks to this movie I discovered e.e. Cummings and an amazing poem. Somewhere I have never travelled, gladly beyond any experience, your eyes have their silence: In your most frail gesture are things which will enclose me Or which I cannot touch because they are too near. Your slightest look easily will Unclose me. Though I have closed myself as fingers. You open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens ( touching skillfully, mysteriously) her first rose. Or, if your will be to close me, I and my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly, as when then heat of this flower imagines the snow carefully everywhere descending. Nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals the power of your intense fragility: whose texture compels me with the colour of its countries rendering death and forever with each breathing. (I do not know it is about you that closes and opens; only something in me understands. The voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses. Nobody, not even the rain has such small hands.) -e.e. cummings-.

[@alexandergranone733]

Una genial película de Woody Allen,Micjael Caine un gigante,hermosa Bárbara hersey ,una música nostálgica ,romatica qué su propia iluminación acompaña a la intimidad.

[@derangedpoetess]

Thannnkyou for uploading! :D

[@jmps8]

Harry James -I've heard this song before

[@auresevas1473]

When she reads that and the music playing is something else. Wish someone would do that as a profeesion. Reading softly to instrumental sounds. I would pay or love to find something like that.

[@munkybrain]

[@drpickett]

mooch is correct - The song at the bookstore is "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered" - There are many versions to listen to - Ella Fitzgerald's version is particularly beautiful

[@atalantafreia]

So sweet.....lovely sweetness

[@bushmonkeyman]

just brilliant

[@pedrobarragan746]

Wish the piano version of Bewitched was made available.

[@Donutttt_]

many many thanks

[@VladleTaxi]

Powerfull...

[@jadentrez]

I believe the poem is on page 112.

[@andrefaure1141]

James Tressler believe me or not, it’s not

[@anniedowling1762]

I cannot stop thinking how much this neighborhood has gentrified since 1986 ...I’m unsure of my NYC geography but these old grubby artists enclaves in the city are in the millions today

[@TribalSooz]

@vickymiau35....the title of the music is "Bewitched Bothered & Bewildered", in this case, played by Dick Hyman. If you get the soundtrack, very rare, it will be on there. Research Dick Hyman. He is a genius in his own right!

[@blaileyly]

bewitched, bothered and bewildered [rodgers and hammerstein]

[@Zeppolino100]

This may well be one of Mr. Allen's most endearingly romantic films. Spoiler Alert: Don't read on if you have not seen "Hannah and Her Sisters."...........OK?............Did you leave?............So, the reason I say so to those remaining, is that for all the suffering and angst that each of the characters endure throughout, in the end one couple rediscovers the love they have always had for each other, and the other two sisters find new loves that are far better for them than the ones they had. Wouldn't it be nice if all of us Lonely Hearts out there could do as well? (Sigh).

[@Chris-is1rd]

With all the creepy shit Allen has been involved in in his life its sometimes easy to forget that he made some great movies like this one

[@KosmosDream]

So true. I've tried to show people cool Allen films like Annie Hall and this one, but they are turned off when I tell them it's a film by Allen

[@MrRazorblade999]
