His dad's perspective is pretty much mine, "I'll be unconscious, or I won't, I'll deal with it then!" Perfectly crafted scene.

[@eebbeerrttpp]

We really don’t know. One chooses what to believe. But yes, at least one should try to enjoy life and be a decent human being. End of the story.

He basically said, I don’t care! There no reason to sound pompous. Capisci?

[@dmrr7739]

When asked what he thinks happens to us after we die, a friend of mine answered, “remember all those years you spend waiting to be born? No? It’ll be just like that.”

[@theintrovertedaspie9095]

​@@dmrr7739 The difference is that you didnt know you didnt exist until AFTER your born. That's why you cant wrap your mind around that idea and what it feels like to not exist. But you will die one day die and will continue to not exist. And since we know it is coming is what makes it scary. We cannot fully wrap our minds around simply not existing. It's just like sleeping. You don't know you were asleep until after you wake up. Granted you can feel your dozing off and sometimes you might have a dream and when you wake up your often left with vague memories of it or no memories at all. There is a difference between being dead and just not existing in this context. Before you were born you didn't exist. But when you die you will be dead, which also means to not exist anymore.

surely woody at the height of his powers , timeless and thoughtful ,my favourite woody allen film

[@johnblack8036]

The entire movie could be in a favourite scene compilation. It's one great scene after the next. That almost never happens. No filler, no wasted shots, no trivial dialogue. This was near the end of an almost unbelievable 10 year run of masterpieces. From Annie Hall to Radio Days. Even if he had done nothing prior to or after that, he would be considered an all time great director. The fact that he scripted those films makes it ever more astonishing. He should have just retired after that. Now he did have world class cinematographers, art directors, costume designers and and an all-time great film editor in Susan E. Morse working for him. She was the one that gave Allen's movies their seamless quality. After that collaboration ended, his films weren't quite the same.

[@dalenixon6981]

If he ended then, we would never have had great films like Match Point or Midnight in Paris. It's not all hopeless.

[@johnblack8036]

Okay, I'll give you that. I did like Match Point. It's really hard to criticize him, but he raised the bar so high in 1980's, that everything that came after just seems to pale in comparison.

[@dalenixon6981]

***** He's still looking to make his masterpiece. Something that matches the likes of Bergman and the other masters of cinema. We can hope.

[@johnblack8036]

He's running out of time. He's already made a handful of masterpieces. I have great respect Bergman's work and you can see the influence on not just Allen, but a number of other directors. I love his shot composition. His closeups just look different that everyone else's. I have a Swedish friend that always tells me you really can't appreciate his films unless you speak the language. Imagine watching Annie Hall and not being able to understand English. There's dialogue you can't possibly translate. I'm trying to get into Tarkovsky, but his films go right over my head, but the visuals leave you speechless. My friend has a UHD Blu-Ray player and just got The Mirror on Blu-Ray. It left me dumbfounded. I thought Kubrick had an great eye, but that man is on another level. I've never seen anything like it.

[@phatrickmoore]

I just watched the full movie and was completely stunned. Every minute was a new lesson about life

[@adamgordon6435]

Woody has always said that he's dissatisfied with this movie in interviews because he intended it to have a darker Ingmar Bergman type theme, but then he changed the script to make the ending more upbeat because it worked better for audiences. This is one of my favorite films and the thing is although Woody Allen was influenced by Bergman, what makes it great is Woody's unique ability to mix comic relief with the existential questions.

[@bluedale6563]

[@antidepressant11]

The best way to tackle the "big" questions is with humour. The "truth" is no longer important. Just live. Chill. Relax. Everything will be fine in the end .

[@bobbo924B]

His films are usually intelligent, but this one is unique in its optimism. He's usually not this happy in his movies. "The heart is a very resilient little muscle." Compare that to the depressing, off-the-cliff endings of "Annie Hall" and "Manhattan."

[@michaelpiano1]

Robert Goldberg you are right about Hannah and her sisters, but I think that Manhattan is as humanistic as it gets. It’s subtle, but the message is very clear when the pure 18 year old tells him not everybody gets corrupt, and that he should have a little faith in people. This is shear and profound optimism, which is why it tears me up every time again.

[@MegaSnippezz]

I also find the ending scene when Mickey realises he can be a biologival father quite beautiful - it's interesting to assume that this ended his existential anxieties, that is, by creating another life.

[@nygblue24]

Mickey Sachs and Albee Singer are two of the best characters ever.

The genius of WA in raising deep questions and interacting with them in a LOL manner. Truly brilliant. Sadly, in this movie as with others, he opts for a simplistic resolution rather than scoping the depths of the issue intellectually. Still on my top 5 best ever !

[@ellarose1685]

Good point. It can fall a little flat when his films end with such simple romantic scenes but I think the reason is he always circles back to a love is the answer type philosophy

[@ColKurtzknew]

@@ellarose1685 I think you're spot on about him. At heart he is a romantic. His problem is epistemic. On his hard scepticism/agnosticism his conclusion, while correct imho, lack the serious undergirding of a critically thought out worldview. Still love his work though lol

[@ellarose1685]

@@ColKurtzknew Totally. He’s also said that while he always wanted to be perceived as a serious Bergman type, comedy was always what he ended up making/ being pushed into making, which no doubt pressured him into tying his scepticism up into a neat little bow

[@timmurphy4688]

What a great movie. Woody never grew up Catholic though. For us the worst would be going to hell when we die. As an atheist, Woody doesn’t even contemplate this. Some times not believing an afterlife is actually relief

[@paulaharrisbaca4851]

At 5:06 when Woody's character begins to wonder about the meaning of life, I began to think that my feeling about death was always like it having to leave a party where everyone is having a good time and some new people just came in, and some of them are really fun (or they could be jerks crashing the party and bringing guns and fighting in the parking lot, playing the Knockout Game with every person staggering out with their iPhone in their hand) and I was having to go to work or to some chore I was dreading! Then I started to think about how many of the things I was most afraid of in life proved to be really cool! BUT...still, I find there are so many cool things to experience and I want to do more of them, but sadly corporate media sees that it's far better to terrify people than to encourage them to take risks by getting married and having children...what a short-sighted view of things (on a corporate level). You don't grow businesses by keeping people alive longer, or shipping in huge numbers of people who will lay down and be exploited for NOW, until they get all La Raza or BLM and begin to demolish the very culture they used to love and wish to be a part of.... Sorry, I went off on a completely unrelated tangent. My apologies. BUT apart from all that, Woody Allen really manages to express my inner angst. For some reason my mom disliked him. She said he made her nervous. She preferred Laurel & Hardy type humor. Or she also loved "All in the Family" and "Mary Tyler Moore" and "The Mothers-in-Law" which hardly anyone recalls, but it made her laugh until she wept. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGayfqKNnMuahKM Not sure why. It's really a very interesting show no one remembers much, which is odd in today's feminist yet anti-woman environment. Modern feminism is completely opposed to women as women. Ashamed of bearing children, which no man can ever do. Making women ashamed and unhappy to be women as the better half of the human being.

[@eebbeerrttpp]

First of all you think too much. Maybe you just don’t know what to do with your life. Just enjoy life while it lasts and be a decent human being. I find Woody Allen very funny but a lot of times he just says nonsense that is really stupid.

[@37Dionysos]

Love Woody, but it's a good thing he's ignored Allan Watts or he'd lose his precious angst.

[@SantiagoUscocovich1]

Care to explain?

[@37Dionysos]

Allen is worried about survival of his ego, which (for all of us) doesn't actually exist---and that's a good thing. Just give any lecture on the subject by Alan Watts some time and you'll happily see what I mean.

I believe that in this movie woody allen asked him self.What if i had my existential crisis in 40 not in 10."How would i deal with it?"

[@Julius_Paul]

George Tsardanidis ... sorry George but you're wrong, Woody actually gave a true realistic view of how most 40+ year olds STILL have to deal with their parents.... but Hollywood movies never show that kind of dialogue because it doesn't sell, due to the fact that it makes people uncomfortable

[@marciloni12]

@@Julius_Paul You have it backwards. This is what PARENTS of 40 yr olds still have to deal with. We tend to be overly protective of our children that they stay closely connected to us, well into their adult life. Good or bad??? Depends...

[@IStehSHIT]

[@georgetsardanidis6424]

This is very weird , Woody Allen here is 40, I was 16 when I watched that, I identified so badly. But now at 26, I am like , well "duhh", about life and staff...I am not dephiloshophised now but I am like, "been there done lets see more now". Is society advancing in 40 years and collectively we are going forward in phiosophy? Or is it the Greek Crisis here that actually you dont have much space of this kind of "philosophising", you just have to surivive in many levels, both spiritually and as body. The Greek crisis is/was a societal and ethical crisis too so those Woody Allen's problems seem piece of cake .Its so weird that I found these scenes pointless now, such a spoiled character but there were so awesome for me bac then! But I can identify so good with the new movie "A Rainy day in New York" thats what I call "applied philosophy". Maybe that will seem pointless to in 10 years who knows? I can identify now much much better with exisntential much darker problems from Yorgos Lanthimos and Theo Angelopooylos. I dont know, here is like, " I am trying to have philosophical problems, I am atrracted to it" in the other films is like "You will face them in your real daily life and have to do something about them, that life ".

[@randywhite3947]

George Tsardanidis woody Is actually 49/50 here

[@zxbc1]

It's not uncommon to have existential crisis during mid-life crisis. This is the age period when you start getting more and more noticeably unhealthy, so quite realistically depicted here he started this whole panic when he had a health scare. When you're young, you go through all the philosophizing without any context, deep down inside you still believe you will live forever and your eventual ageing and demise is so far away that it just doesn't seem real to you. By 40+ you start to see the reality with a different mindset. What makes a lot of great Woody Allen films work is that they do provide different levels of emotional impact when viewed at different times of your life, to the point that you do end up appreciating it in different ways throughout your life. Just trust me, watching these films again when you're 40 will feel just as poignant and interesting.

[@cerevor]

Some of his problem seem to be that he can't engage with any other perspective, which makes it all the same to him. I don't "believe" in anything but he seriously seems to think that it's all that "simple", which might be true from one perspective but doesn't mean that there's not much more to get out of engaging with various concepts, to begin with simply aesthetically, different from the automatic "Woody Allen"-mode.

[@judyhano8277]

This is so sad... Ladies and gentlemen, Jesus Christ is the way to the Father. It's not over when you die. There is Heaven or hell. Why would you not choose Heaven?
