Love and Death- Finale

From Woody Allen's Love and Death
Wheat.

[@twingoatsinc]

"Look at death not as an end but as a way of cutting down on your expenses" Brilliant!

[@jasoncromwell4206]

My personal favorite Woody film. All the depth of the dramas, and all of the hilarity of the comedies. Plus Russia what can you say?

[@TheFiddle101]

His finest hour

[@jerrycooperman4691]

I agree. A very underrated film.

[@s.chaubey8098]

Russia is all you want in a tragic story.

[@smcracraft]

It is my favorite ending of any film from all the Lean's, Kubrick's, and others of this world since the invention of the medium. The dance into the great Sergei Prokofieff's music at the end, dancing with death, is to die for. Great homage to Bergman. Way to go.

[@KidFresh71]

Woody Allen's use of music in film is unparalleled.

[@danspringer12]

A great ending to a great film. The look on Diane Keaton's face listening to her cousin is priceless.

[@garrison6863]

I love the steals of Bergman's double close up of Ullman and Andersen in Persona, and also the knight escorting him from The Seventh Seal. I think this was his funniest movie.

[@Nicecatholicgirl]

I'm dead, they're talking about wheat."

[@davebartosh5]

God is an under achiever....great stuff. Love this film.

[@jonathanrimorin2494]

The music underneath the final monologue is from Prokofiev's soundtrack to Aleksandr Nevsky; the song at the very end which Death and Woody dance to is the Troika from Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kijé Suite.

[@TheFiddle101]

Thank you

[@creakushcoliko4204]

Nowadays comedies should look up to Woody Allen

[@Steerpike07]

My brother and I watched this when I was 14 and he was 12 (32 years ago!). I was taping to sound only on an old fashioned cassette tape recorder via a microphone (we didn't even have a video recorder!). I still have the tape of both of us rolling about on the floor in stitches! We missed half the film we were laughing so much!!

Best lines and best end ever! Woody's the best!

[@antoniatejedabarros]

Hilarious. Wonderful. Woody is really a genius!

[@pinz2022]

I saw it on cable in the early 1980's. The finale with him capering with Death did it for me. I was crying with pent-up laughter.

[@MrTonyroxy]

Sergei Prokofiev... wonderful music

[@ornleifs]

Brilliant film.

[@camillamaxild6043]

"Natascha, it´s getting a little late" :) :)

[@chiefnut48]

Love the music and really great comedy writing and so funny

[@agnernai]

This wonderful film reminds me of a time when dialogue was aloud to breathe without a constant 88 piece orchestra dictating our moods at every beat.

[@thedudeabides2531]

"Did you say wheat? Wheat."

[@BrucknerMotet]

I like the Prokofiev "Alexander Nevsky" music track starting at 2:34. I think more films should showcase some of the great recordings of other classical works (hopefully without thereby reducing the film-related work available to contemporary composers and ensembles).

[@DownNeptune]

I wonder if it was Woody himself who had the idea for having the film book-ended by Prokiev's Lt Kije Troika? It's just an incredible choice.

[@grahamblack1961]

I first saw this when I was 13 and it had a huge impact on me.

[@mev186]

Everything in Life is Wheat. P.S. I want this Speech played at my Funeral.

[@mev186]

Yeah, It's one of those rare movies that is funny even after multiple viewings ^_^

[@padssit]

merveille "ce n'est pas la quantité qui compte, en amour, mais la qualité... Quoiqueeeeuhh..." Woody est LE grand antidépresseur moderne

[@ALE280290]

3:50 Let's dance with Death! 3:) XD

[@lunalovett]

"now if you'll excuse me im dead" XD man i bought this film for my bf for his birthday, he didn't seem to like it as much as I do. I guess we like different things.

[@LynnNeumann]

I like the dance with Death at the end.

[@Jasonificatiation]

Erika Neumann great shot too

[@LynnNeumann]

Agreed.

[@Azoicum]

Allen has smoker teeth....wtf

[@angelicavega9361]

Inspired by Bergan's Seventh Seal.

[@ShikataGaNai100]

"I liked all of your movies, especially the early funny ones..."

[@pabloisotom]

I'm going to cry like a child when woody allen dies.

[@pljms]

Apparently Woody Allen originally wanted to use the music of Stravinsky but was disallowed so instead turned to the music of Prokofiev, a blessing in disguise if ever there was one.

[@yolo22]

this film has got the best lines. so brilliant.

[@thoskel1]

The worst thing you can say about God is that he is an under achiever. I think even God would find that funny

[@antoniatejedabarros]

Woody's the best!

[@andrewgillis8572]

that ought to be a legend that last frame

[@antoniatejedabarros]

The end of Love & Death resembles the dance of death at the end of Bergman's The Seventh Seal (Det sjunde inseglet).

[@LMB222]

Definitely worth adding. Can't wait to watch the film again, and listen to Prokofiev.

[@colleenmcdermott5492]

great ending with Russian music

[@MultiButterfly91]

I LOVE SO MUCH HIS SENSE OF HUMOR :-D

[@agnekaveckiene7186]

best movie end in whole filmmaking history, especially music!

[@LMB222]

I saw my mother ROTFLing to this film when I was a teenager. Needless to say, seeing one's parent in that state made me very curious ;) I saw this film 17 times before I stopped counting. Now I'm watching it with my son. He sometimes says "wheat" all of a sudden.

[@Nicecatholicgirl]

"I just want to get divorced"

[@carlpen850]

@ Nicecatholicgirl... it's one of my favorite all time lines... once when I came home to visit... one of my mother's friends was there and of course the conversation quickly led to why I was still single... and I told this woman that even though I wasn't married that when I was in my late 20's I had a very strong urge... to get divorced. PS... I was a catholic boy and as you probably already know... none of us were/are nice

[@oscarwilde5473]

@@carlpen850 ... I found marriage a bit overrated too, and my boyfriend's Dad had me thrown into prison ... the rest, being history ... and so it goes ... 🤗 ...

[@garrison6863]

The funniest Allen movie I think.

[@HamCubes]

@ShrugMeSilly245 It's marvelous, isn't it? It's Lt. Kiji Suite, Troika, by Prokofiev. I think I was the only 16-year-old blasting Prokofiev from my convertible, thanks to this film. Yeah - I "placed."

[@Insaneasd]

That awaking moment , when you search for metal group and open this video...

[@terrencebunce1964]

"I never want to marry, I just want to get divorced." Hmm, is there a divorce before one marries syndrome? And then Boris came to the rescue? It's really metaphysical here, kinda reminds me of filling up the gas tank twice in one day during the work commute, and ever since, never happening again. Faulty gas tank? Blame Boris?Dunno.

[@freelanceivy]

You know if you' ve ever had an evening with an ensurance salesmen yopu know what I mean hahah

[@MyLateralThawts]

Death couldn’t possibly be any worse than a timeshare seminar.

[@loiscandler814]

Reminds me of song "Love Stinks!" 😆 "you love her, she loves him, he loves somebody else, you just can't win" J Geils Band. 😪 🎵

Wheat.

The firm of Mishken and Mishkin is sleeping with Don Francisco's sister. Mishken is unhappy about this. In contrast, Mishkin is ecstatic and proposes. His happiness turns to suffering after the wedding rehearsal dinner at Treskie's. Don Francisco's sister gets divorced on Natasha's behalf.

They're going to play that last part at the Oscars after he dies.

I like the old-school jazz Woody used for most of his other movies, but I absolutely LOVE the theme music in this one. Anyone know what it's called?

Did you notice that Allen exits "stage right" at the end? Leaves me wondering if this was a premeditated epitaph.

Worse than the chicken at Treski's restaurant.

[@augustuscaesar7846]

Make me more films 'Woody Allen".I'll have to start writing them myself once he's gone & he's in his seventies now. Philosophy when it comes full circle makes everything all the more funny. Does anyone know of any other film makers who write & produce films of this kind? (The ones of the Nobler Mind :) )

[@allanmacbadger5692]

Not exactly the same as Woody Allen but Mel Brooks makes very good spoofs of ceratin subject matter.

[@Mendabur31]

Augustus Caesar sad to say there is no one like him. Many tried but failed including chris rock's top five.

[@simplerachel11]

brilliant. anyone? become a better person watching this?

Woody Allen resembles James Woods so much......I bet there wasn't a dry woman in the audience at the film screenings
