Diane Keaton started new fashion trends and is considered somewhat of a trailblazer in how women dress, live or build a career. This film shows off her comic skills (and she is hilarious in Woody Allen’s “Sleepers”) and in Warren Beatty’s film “Reds,” she shows her serious drama skills.

That is absolutely crazy that not a single movie reactor has reacted to this movie before now. All these reaction channels just follow each other around in a circle jerk reacting to the same movies. I said to someone else, these movie reactors must think Predator is one of the most important and culturally significant movies of the 20th century. LOL Meanwhile genuine classics, hell an Oscar winning best picture! That goes untouched forever by all these channels. I wish more movie reaction channels would dare to show such courage and branch out beyond the circle jerk of only reacting to what other channels react to.

@Mr. Fancy Pants thats not the reason. Reacting is a delicate business. You don't know what movie reactions will incur repercussions from the studios for copyright nonsense or get KZbin to take action. So most reactors follow other reactors. They can tell what movies are safe and also what movies get a lot of likes. Getting likes helps the channel and ultimately its a numbers game. If viewers love Predator then it makes sense to give them what they want. The reactor might not care about sci-fi but their viewers love Star Wars so therefore a Star Wars reaction is coming soon. It's also why most reactors do polls. What do people want to watch is another safe way to check how many will view the video after its uploaded. I think Dawn does what she wants and I stan for that. It's rare to find a reaction that hasn't been done by everyone else. The particular talents of Woody Allen have been lost on the last 2 generations

@@stephenniehaus8635 I think we’re pretty much on the same page except I think you’re giving a bit too much credit to some of these movie reactors. I have literally heard multiple reactors express they won’t bother with certain movies or certain types of movies because they don’t get clicks. They’ll just straight out say they won’t do black and white movies because they don’t get clicks. Has nothing to do with copyrights or videos being blocked. What’s the one black and white classic all the reaction channels do if they should decided to do an older movie? “12 Angry Men” Why? Is this the only worthwhile movie made from that era and nothing else even begins to compare to it. No, it’s because they’ve seen other channels react to it and get a decent number of clicks. Hence the circle jerk is very real. So if all they’re doing then is chasing clicks, then they are indeed in a circle jerk, just doing reactions to movies they know will get clicks. Why every channel treats it as though mandatory to do reactions to “The Shawshank Redemption” LOL The world of movies is vast and long. And there are a few channels that will do random movies other channels aren’t doing. Off the top of my head, Shan Watches Movies is one. So the motivation isn’t completely about copyright and videos being blocked. Why is it that all the reaction channels think there have only ever been two westerns made in the history of cinema. Tombstone and Unforgiven. Because those are the safe westerns they can do they know will get clicks. I will amend however that the fault doesn’t completely lie with the reactors but also with the viewers and commenters themselves. Commenters will literally only ask for movies they’ve seen other channels react to and never get behind anything in significant numbers for any movie that hasn’t already been reacted to over a dozen times on other channels.

@Mr. Fancy Pants that's how it is. Many young people don't watch movies made in the 20th century. It's also hard to do. A lot of streaming services don't carry many movies older than several years. Unless it's ballyhooed still, you're likely going to have to rent it on Amazon and no one's going to pay money for one movie they know nothing about. And most people stream today. Cable is dwindling. It's just the nature of technological 'progress'. I don't fault reactors for not taking risks. It's easy to criticize them objectively but they put a lot of work into making these videos. Having to edit it just right, putting enough new content into it to avoid copyright issues, etc. Hours of work that might be disappointing if few watch it. Everyone wants their channel to be successful and sometimes you have to make concessions. Reactors want more people to patreon them and they won't do it if the channel doesn't interest them. It's a tightrope

@@stephenniehaus8635 Criticizing is easy, fun too. I absolutely can criticize anyone for not taking risks and only ever playing it safe. Because ultimately it is a cowardly path. The reactor who straight up said he wouldn’t do black and white movies because they don’t get clicks said so in response to his viewers asking him to watch some Marx Brothers movies. He never even bothered seeing any Marx Brothers movies at all. You know who did take a risk and watch some Marx Brothers movies. Our sweet, beloved Dawn. I was a patron of Dawn’s and even saw that there were people signed up for her Patreon because of The Marx Borthers reactions. The only reason this interaction is happening at all is because Dawn is watching a classic Oscar winning best picture that no other channel has ever touched. The viewers of these reaction videos aren’t just kids born in this century. There’s many older people who enjoy seeing younger people experiencing their favorite classic films for the first time. 12 Angry Men has taken off as a safe pick for reaction channels. It’s an older movie, but it’s a safe choice, because of the circle jerk. Yeah, I can criticize cowardly reactors for this.

"Play It Again, Sam" (1972) is another good Woody Allen movie, which also stars Diane Keaton! They did a lot of collaborations. The whole movie is a reference to to Casablanca, and considering you already watched that on the channel and really enjoyed it, I think "Play It Again, Sam" is worth checking out if you want another Woody Allen-Diane Keaton romance.

Good list, but I'd add "Midnight in Paris", "Blue Jasmine", "The Front", "Take the Money and Run" (if you can find it), and "Sleeper". The Front was not directed by Allen, but it starred him. And it isn't exactly comedy, but I still love it. BTW, Bananas was my very first 'R' rated movie (technically, I believe it was rated "M", which later became "R"). I was only 11 years old, but my parents thought it was ok for me to see it.

@@Haldurson I like The Front but it's not a Woody Allen movie at all, it's just one he acted in (as you said). I'm talking Woody as a director/actor. "Sleeper" was the first one I suggested in my comment, I definitely did not forget to mention it. "Take The Money & Run" is easy to find, and there's already one reaction to it, and yeah, definitely "Take The Money & Run". I said there were many others. I don't care for "Blue Jasmine" or "Midnight In Paris" although they're on the upper ranks of 99% of his post-Mia work. I don't want there to be a difference in his post-Mia career, but there definitely was, no getting around it. Woody doesn't do rewrites anymore, he got lazy, he writes a draft, looks it over once and then shoots it. And it shows, and has for a long time. But man oh man, that run of movies between Take The Money & Run and Husbands & WIves (with Manhattan Murder Mystery a nice albeit flawed throwback to end it all). Every year, a new Woody movie, most of them classic.

Woody's films cover a huge range of styles. But if it's comedy you want, it's hard to beat "Love and Death" - a parody of the Napoleonic war novel "War and Peace." Woody loved the Marx Brothers and there's a lot of "Marxian" humor in Love and Death.

Diane Keaton started a fashion trend and her style in this film is considered iconic. Her style which continues even now in her appearances or films, incorporates signature fashion looks that are traditionally more masculine, along with frequent and unique hats, scarves and simple but memorable accessories, layers that go against whatever is the current trend, comfort and practicality being important (like Katharine Hepburn did) use of classic fabrics and avoiding the look of trying to be a sex symbol. In this film and in Allen’s early film titled “Sleepers”, she shows her comedic skills and in Warren Beatty’s film “Reds,” she shows her serious dramatic skills.

Enjoyed this reaction, Dawn! A few facts... -Woody Allen is probably the most prolific film maker of the last sixty years. Since 1969, he’s directed (or written and directed) approximately fifty films - roughly one a year. I believe that, among other things, he relies on his work to keep himself relatively balanced, and his life meaningful. ‘-Annie Hall’ came out the same year as Star Wars (which we now call: Star Wars - A New Hope) - 1977. Annie Hall swept the Academy Awards in 1977, beating out Star Wars for Best motion picture, Best director, and a number of other categories. -to my knowledge, there had never been a comedy structured like this film - which is why it’s so different, and is now regarded as a classic. It changed the way people thought about film and about comedies. -the film has a number of very early appearances of people who later became big name stars: Duane who confessed to having the oncoming car lights death fantasy - is Christopher Walken (among other film characters, he’s the main villain in the 1985 James Bond film ‘A View To A Kill.’) ‘Allison Portchnik’ is Carol Kane (the wife of Miracle Max in ‘The Princess Bride’); Jeff Goldblum has a cameo as a man at a party, who claims to have misplaced his ‘aura.’ Sigoruney Weaver plays a tall woman in a long shot near the film’s end, underneath the entrance of a theater showing ‘The Sorrow And The Pity.’ -my personal favorite of his films, is ‘Sleeper’ (1973) - a comedy occurring 200 years in the future (as this was exactly 50 years ago, we’re now somewhat closer - only 150 years, now.) -The 2012 film ‘Woody Allen: A Documentary’ is not a bad place to start learning about him. But, the film was made before the eruption of the ‘#Me Too’ movement starting in 2017. When #Me Too began, the Hollywood Establishment rendered him even more of an outcast than he already was, this time based on the early-to-mid 1990s allegations regarding his then-prepubescent adopted daughter. (Nothing about the circumstances of the case had changed, only the energy directed at real or perceived sexual criminals by activists outraged at the Weinstein, Cosby and other (more certain, verified) scandals.) (I do not believe that Allen did the things he was accused of - but I acknowledge that neither side can establish an objective truth with anything close to certainty.) -Diane Keaton, who plays Annie Hall, appeared in many of Allen’s movies, and has made films not connected with him. She is a noteworthy actress and celebrity.

I also agree that it’s the opposite of the pattern of genuine pedophiles - no one does that sort of crime one time only, with one victim, then never again, no other accusations.

Unfortunately, we have many examples of ‘every expert and investigator’ agreeing on X, and X turns out to be wrong: Every nation’s intelligence service agreeing there were WMDs in Iraq. Apple and thousands of other businesses betting billions of dollars that China was a safe place to do business. Israel betting that Egypt and Syria wouldn’t attack in ’73. Egypt and Syria betting that Israel wouldn’t do a first strike in ’67. Professional film critics universally panning John Carpenter’s ‘The Thing’ in ’82 - now recognized as a spectacularly well-done film. Dem strategists wanting Reagan and Trump to be the GOP nominee in 1980 and 2016, thinking that these men would be buffoons and easy to defeat. Finally, experts and investigators tend to be linked (or to work for) big organizations - which can’t be trusted. That doesn’t mean the experts are wrong.

It would be hard for any of you to convince me that Annie Hall gave more pleasure to more people than Stars. I am not even bringing the concept of sequels into my reasoning. Did I enjoy Star Wars? I could not watch more than 20 minutes without being bored to death...but I am only one person and I am discussing how much pleasure it seemed to give to how many people.

In my opinion, the best way to enjoy Woody Allen movies is not to seek to understand more of the references, but rather, to just see more Woody Allen movies. You may struggle a bit at first, but like Shakespeare, You will either develop an ear for it, or you will not, and you have such a delightful sense of humor, I suspect that you will.

One of the greatest movies of all time. You got to put this movie in perspective. Woody Allen started as a comedian, but not a normal comedian. His rise to fame was something lije we never saw. He started writing at 14 years old, when he was 18, he was already one of the best writers in America. At some point he wanted to start doing his own show, as a stand up comic. In 6 months he was already the biggest comic in América. Something that never, ever, ever, happen in comedy. A stand up comic needs years to built a name, he made it in months. Then he started making movies, and in a few years cimented his name as the number one name in comedy. At the time, he was not only the biggest comic, he was regarded as the biggest star of all time, along Charlie Chaplin. And it was at this point that he wanted to make movies beside comedy. There's Annie Hall, his first atempt at a non-comedy movie. But... He don't have the guts to put comedy completly aside. So he make his serious movie, but put a lot of jokes there. And so born one of the greatest masterpieces in movie history... There's still another fun story about the movie. This was not the movie he shot. It got another plot, it was a murder story. But the editor, seeing the raw footage, said to Woody "you got here a amazing rom-com, just cut all the murder plot out". Seeing the movie that the editor put together, Woody loved it so much, that he never worked with another editor. And after this, Woody become the greatest american movie director for decades and decades. The most renowed and most respected director in America. Win a few Oscars, but only went to the Oscars one time. And only stayed there 30 minutes. But was one of the highlights of Oscar history. And showed that he was still a amazing stand up comic!!

He went from pure pythonesque to profound. For the Pythonesque try "What's Up Tiger Lily" which is a Japanese James Bond thriller to which he added a soundtrack that has nothing to do with what's on the screen. For the more profound there's "Purple Rose Of Cairo". "Husbands & Wives" is also a very powerful drama. "Zelig" is a mockumentary which is both funny and technically amazing.

Woody Allen has lots and lots of movies. The early ones are more farcical, and he progressed to doing some fairly deep and dark ones, so he has a considerable talent. Most of his stuff is also based on his own psychological impressions of himself, and many of them dip into the very unpleasant aspects of his life and perspectives. If you know about his real life, some things get very uncomfortable to watch. But at the same time, a lot of his movies are just .... wonderful, and a lot of them play around with camera, point of view, and what it means to "be" a movie. Among my favorites of his are "Take the Money and Run", "Sleeper" (which was my father's favorite), and "Hannah and her Sisters", which may be my personal Allen favorite. There were some familiar faces in this movie: Allison was played by Carol Kane, and I think you've seen "Princess Bride" and "Addams Family Values"? If so, she was Valerie, wife of Miracle Max in "Princess Bride" and Grandmamma in "Addams Family Values". To see her in another young, serious role, grab "Hester Street", if you can, which is about a Jewish immigrant's experience in early 20th century New York (my own great grandparents lived on Hester Street in the late 1800s and very early 1900s, so I have a special fondness for this movie). Shelley Duval was the woman Alvy slept with before running over to kill the spider. She's the wife in "The Shining". Tony was played by Paul Simon, who you probably don't know, but, when this movie came out, this was an exciting one for me: Simon is half of the singing team Simon and Garfunkel, and this team was extremely famous and influential during the 1960s-1970s. Here are a couple of their more famous numbers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6nLe5aHest3a9U kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3SUc3Z3nNplf5o kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3vNZaZvfpJoack (a special favorite of mine). Diane Keaton played a major character in "The Godfather", and Alvy's line to her about having been stuck with the cast of "Godfather" is probably little inside joke. Tony Robers, who played Alvy's Californian friend, is one of those actors that Allen likes to use in many of his movies, and you'll see him if you decide to watch more Allen stuff. The Marx Brothers were an influence on Allen, and often it shows ("Hannah and Her Sisters"........) Annie's mother is wonderful stage actress Colleen Dewhurst. She didn't make many non-stage appearances, but when she did, she was a strong, wonderful presence: kzbin.info/www/bejne/en7Yl6aboqaDr5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3zSZpZ-mtWJf9E (where she's following the lead of the great singer Billie Holiday: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKfbe4mhZbOqa8k the white gardenia in her hair was a trademark). And one more bit if data: Duane, Annie's brother, is eccentric, gifted actor Christopher Walken, and if you don't know him yet, boy, do you have a treat coming! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmWso5mFl7utgNE

As for the references you don't get: just assume everyone is either a New York or European intellectual and that's all you need to know. Granted, Marshall McLuhan is Canadian--and that IS him in Anne Hall--but you get the drift. Allen started his film-making career with a string of inconsistent but occasionally brilliant comedies (the influence of the Marx Brothers, especially Groucho--since he can't be all four of them--is strong): "What's Up, Tiger Lily?": he took a b-grade Japanese spy movie and dubbed in his own ridiculous dialogue. In his version, it's about the search for a chicken salad recipe. "Take the Money and Run": Woody always tends to play the same type of character, in this one, he's an inept bank robber. "Bananas": I haven't seen this one, Same character type, this time he gets involved in South/Central America political revolution. "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Sex": loosely, very loosely based on a bestselling non-fiction book of the same title. Very episodic, very hit and miss, but the hits are wee-your-pants funny. One episode features a young Gene Wilder who falls in love with, um, not a person. "Sleeper":first collaboration with Diane Keaton. Equal parts Marx Bros. and Chaplin. Woody awakes into an Orwellian future. "Annie Hall," as you've seen. A new maturity and consistency to the material. Followed by "Manhattan," which many consider his masterpiece. And a love letter to NYC. And then he began to maybe take himself too seriously as a film-maker. Swedish director Ingmar Bergman replaced the Marx Brothers as his guiding light. His dramatic movies never quite hit the mark and his comedies, often relying on the same "Woody" character, became repetitive. But once a decade or so, he still managed to hit the nail on the head. See "Zelig," "Hannah and Her Sisters," Bullets Over Broadway." I'd especially recommend "Zelig" for its humor and its backstory. It's more or less a parody of Warren Beatty's film "Reds," co-starring Diane Keaton after she and Allen split up and she began dating... Warren Beatty. And despite its inconsistency, the high points of EYEWTKA Sex are so high that it's one you really should see. So be careful with Woody. He's got some stinkers. And he's got some movies that will have you rolling on the floor. Take care, friend, glad to se you challenged yourself with Annie Hall.

But his second most critically acclaimed film is Manhattan, which will quickly clue you into the controversy surrounding him in recent years. And more recently, Midnight in Paris is a must see - starring Owen Wilson (as Woody stopped playing the leading role in his later films).

Woody Allen emerged first as a stand-up comedian, did some humorous short writing which has been collected in books like Without Feathers, and stormed into film success starting in the late 1960s. A lot of the earliest films are more slapstick, and a collaborator was a funny writer named Marshall Brickman. I like his dystopian SF comedy Sleeper from this period. It heartens to my favourite film of all time, Brazil, and the two would make a cool double-Bill. Annie Hall is probably still one of his best-loved films for its creative inventiveness, and unique approach to the Romantic Comedy, at least as far as North American movies had done up to that time. It beat Star Wars for Best Picture, at the Oscars. This was a point of much discussion at the time - Star Wars had already garnered a legion of fans even by that time. Annie Hall is not my favourite movie, though I do love seeing it every now and then. My favourite Woody Allen movie has some similarities to Anne Hall. I love the one called Broadway Danny Rose, from a few years later - also some inventiveness to its structure, a great leading woman role performed by an actress who knocks it out of the park, and a lot of laughs mixed with the bittersweet.Plus…it’s in Black and White! I have stayed away from commenting on Woody Allen’s personal history and just commented here on some films. That stuff’s out there if you want to learn about it and watch or not watch a lot of his films based on it.

Woody Allen started out as a stand up comic in the 1960's and became famous as an actor, screenwriter, and film maker although his marriage to the adopted daughter of his long time lover Mia Farrow made him somewhat infamous even by Hollywood moral standards. His best film was his semi-autobiographical film "Radio Days" which he doesn't appear in except as an off camera narrator. My personal favorite film role of his was as a Bond villain in the 1967 Bond film parody "Casino Royale" Another film of his I liked was "Sleeper" a science fiction film about somebody who awakens in the far future after being in suspended animation with the classic Woody Allen line "How can all my friends be dead? They all ate organic rice!" He did several films with Diane Keaton including this one. She's the daughter of silent film comedian Buster Keaton. Never seen this film before oddly enough although it was probably his most successful film.

Woody’s movies during this period mostly were about people just living and interacting in New York…no car chases, no superheroes, no gun fights or explosions….and they’re all great (even the depressing “Interiors”). If you like this kind of character-driven dialogue and neurotic characters, these are for you. I group these into his New York cycle, which ran roughly from 1977-87 (he did other New York-centric movies before and after this period, but these are the real gems): “Annie Hall,” “Manhattan,” “Interiors,” “Stardust Memories,” “Broadway Danny Rose,” “Hannah and Her Sisters,” and “Radio Days.” “Annie” and “Hannah” get the biggest accolades, but my favorite is “Broadway Danny Rose,” a great comedy about the second-tier show biz world. If you watch the serious family drama “Interiors,” I suggest watching “Hannah” right after it, as it’s like “Interiors,” but on the sunnier, funnier side of this dimension.

Hey Dawn, here's some context. Woody Allen started out as a writer, most notably for Sid Caesar's TV series Your Show of Shows in the 1950s along with future legends Carl Reiner, Neil Simon and Mel Brooks. He then became a stand-up comedian using a monologue style rather than standard joke-telling. Later he began writing, directing and starring in slapstick-type films such as Take the Money and Run, Bananas and Sleeper. His preference then changed to art cinema which he has continued with ever since (Annie Hall is kind of the beginning of this later period). I should add that his personal life, starting with his relationship with actress Mia Farrow, is highly controversial but I'll leave it at that.

Annie Hall was originally a more linear story called "Anhedonia" (which is the inability to feel pleasure), but Woody Allen hated it so much he totally re-edited it out of sequence to make it more interesting for him. In case it's not obvious, the story is based on Woody Allen and Diane Keaton's real-life relationship (Keaton's real name is Diane Hall, and she really did have a "Grammy Hall" too), and Keaton's costumes (the big men's shirts and ties, waistcoats and big hats) were basically what she wore every day anyway - when this movie first came out, the "Annie Hall Look" was very much in fashion for a while... and if you liked this, try "Manhattan" next, it's brilliant...

Woody Allen and Groucho Marx were friends. Allen felt hurt when Groucho failed to respond to a letter Woody sent him in 1961. So, in 1967, when Groucho heard about Allen's hurt feelings, sent him a letter which patched things up. It began: "Goodie Ace told some unemployed friend of mine that you were disappointed or annoyed or happy or drunk that I hadn't answered the letter you wrote me some years ago. You know, of course, there is no money in answering letters -- unless they're letters of credit from Switzerland or the Mafia. I write you reluctantly, for I know you are doing six things simultaneously -- five including sex. I don't know where you get the time to correspond."

There's an arc with Woody Allen films. They start off being very, very silly, and slapstick. Then they get progressively more serious and philosophical and, I would argue, self-indulgent. This is the perfect middle of that arc, where its just worthy enough and silly enough to be a good movie. I heartily recommend everything before this, especially *Take the money and run*, *Sleeper*, *Love And Death*, and *Everything you always wanted to know about sex but were afraid to ask*. Probably in that order. Much more on your wavelength.

Very nice reaction, Dawn. Diane Keaton is a very famous actress. I believe her first stage role was in the 1968 rock musical "Hair", in which she sang a lot. She was also in The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, playing the role of Kaye. Later she made many films in which her work was praised, including "Looking for Mister Goodbar", "As Good as It Gets", and many others. She is well worth watching. Woodie Allen started as a comedian and a TV writer, but has been known primarily as a film director for over 50 years. Some of his more well-known films are: --"Sleeper" --"Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex But Were Too Afraid to Ask" --"The Purple Rose of Cairo" (more of a fantasy than a comedy) --"Crimes and Misdemeanors" (a deadly serious movie with some funny moments) --"Radio Days" --"Play It Again, Sam" (works better if you've already seen "Casablanca" Many of the jokes you didn't get are simply dated (they were funny in 1977, not so much now). Others have to do with pretentious intellectualism, and of course it helps if you recognize the pretentious thing so that you can laugh at it (which makes the film even more pretentious). Marshall Machluan, the intellectual who appears out of nowhere to argue with the fellow in the movie-ticket line, was a famous literary and media theorist of the 1960s -- he was the man who coined the phrase, "The medium is the message."

"Looking for Mister Goodbar" also worth the reaction

He started out making really funny movies. They got more talky/serious and less funny as the years went on. My favorite Woody Allen movie is Sleeper. Second is Love and Death.

It’s been so long since I’ve seen this that I don’t know if I made the connection at that time that when he said, “I’m standing with the cast of The Godfather” he was talking about Diane Keaton.

The outfits that Diane Keaton is wearing in this movie 🎥 was all the rage way back when. Also, she was Michaels wife in The Godfather .

Woody Allen specializes in "New York" movies. Most all of them have a New York sensibility, and a lot of the humor is meant to poke fun at the sophistication and pretentiousness that New Yorkers feel they have. Thus, some of the humor truly hits home if you happen to know New York first-hand. For instance, the line about there being people "from The New Yorker!" in the other room is hilarious if you happen to live in New York and read that magazine. Or you might know that Elaine's was THE restaurant that catered to a certain brand of literary snobbery, and all that that represents. This is my second favorite Woody Allen movie, with my favorite being "Manhattan." The movie "Manhattan" is one of the reasons I decided to move to New York City, in fact. Unfortunately, in the 1990s Woody Allen's personal life began to overshadow his professional life. He made some choices that most of us would agree are...not...very...good choices. And he has been credibly accused of things (even if unproven) that have shadowed his legacy. I won't go into details here, but I'll say that in his film "Manhattan," Woody Allen falls in love with a girl WAY too young for him. It is very hard to watch it today if you know Allen's true-life choices. It's the age-old question of separating the art from the artist, as "Manhattan" does happen to be a great movie.

Well done, Dawn. You probably got at least 90% of the movie and jokes. There's a lot of movies that are fun to watch a second or third time to pick up things we miss. Allen started out as a standup comic. There's a couple of more Allen movies you might like: Sleeper Play it Again Sam

This is the first film I ever went to see with someone I was in love with. She was a fan of Woody Allen's earlier films which I hardly knew. But I loved this one partly because of the outrageous convention-breaking moments like introducing a person who isn't even in the plot to defend his ideas or suddenly going into an animation with Woody and the wicked Queen or walking into scenes from his or her past. But I mostly loved it for the awkward but endearing love story and the fact that he wrote and played a starkly honest and not always flattering version of his own character without leaving out the flaws.
