Watch Annie Hall For Free

hyped garbage

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Nothing has changed in the 40 years since this film was made. Everyone is still against Jewish people who basically just want to be left alone, judging by the recent idiotic "rant" by the White Supremacists. Woody Allen's very autobiographical and neurotic self-portrait with his lifetime love Diane Keaton. Her character wants to be a White "Billie Holiday". Her Hollywood friends are into lines of cocaine and constant parties. The best "gag" of all is when Woody sneezes and spoils about $2000 of cocaine. Alvy Singer (Woody) makes love to several neurotic "skinny" women. He is a stand-up comedian and writer. He has appeared on TV and with Johnny Carson. It features a ton of "stars" like Paul Simon. Also future stars like Christopher Walken, Shelly Duvall, Carol Kane, and many more, all so very young. Allen carries tons of "Jewish Guilt" around with him. He eats an Easter ham dinner with Annie Hall's family and imagines himself a Rabbi. A doctor suggests that pork and shellfish might have made him sick (non-Kosher "forbidden" foods). Annie Hall (Diane Keaton) is kind of a ditzy character and can't get aroused by Woody's character unless she is high. What women find attractive about him remains a great mystery to me! It starts out slowly and builds into a comedic classic. Of course it will not appeal at all to Millennials and Blue-Eyed "Wasps". It's a acquired taste, just like The Marx Bros. and W.C. Fields comedies. Either you find it hilarious or ya' just don't "get" it at all!

Woody Allen at his best: baring his insecurities and shortcomings, muttering and mumbling his way through a string of sharp, witty statements, experimenting with film techniques, admiring the lost landscape of 1970s New York and, still, finding time for a rich, colorful portrayal of a years-long romance. Allen and Diane Keaton really make the film work, their rapport is so smooth, easy and genuine. We want to see them tough it out together, because their good times are so pure and true, but we know that fresh infatuation has a relatively short shelf life and the characters' essential differences make a longer, more serious relationship impossible. We see it all in a string of short snapshots, an expert mix of vital moments that anyone who's been through such a whirlwind will no doubt recognize. Those early, sunny memories you won't forget and the later, stormier ones you can't. Funny and poignant, with a dash of playful fourth-wall recognizance to keep us on our toes, it expertly churns all sorts of universal emotions.

It's a really funny movie. The romantic storyline is quirky, mainly a curdled Alvy's (Allen) observations on life. So if you don't find this quip amusing, the next will fly by in a flash. Director Allen keeps things moving like a NASCAR rally. Oh, but there's the utterly charming Annie (Keaton). Her ditzy manner is so captivating, I couldn't take my eyes off that perpetual smile. But what's she got to smile about. Alvy sees only life's downsides even if in amusing fashion. The goof ball doesn't realize what a gem he's got, so wrapped up is he in his own curdled world.Allen blends talking to the camera, cartoon inserts, thought captions, and flashbacks in seamless fashion. You never know what's coming next, except it'll be funny. I had my doubts when I turned on the movie, like maybe Allen's been over-praised. But I have to admit, it's a one-of-a-kind that takes a lot of risks, but scores big-time.

Annie Hall's directed by Woody Allen, costume design by Ruth Morley, screenplay by Woody Allen and Marshall Brickman, and stars Woody Allen and Diane Keaton. Annie Hall's purpose is to show us what happened between Alvy and Annie and why their relationship did not work out, it takes us through all the steps and takes us to his early childhood all the way to when he was dating Annie. Annie Hall follows the life of Alvy Singer, a prolific comedian who (is basically Woody Allen) becomes famous and behind closed doors, is extremely paranoid and worries about everything, he would come off as having neurotic behavior and seems to be suspicious about people. Every since he was a child he has questioned everything and was very intellectual, he has always been more 'advanced' than his colleagues at school, he has always been superior to everyone around him and always knew more, now that he is an adult, he is the underdog of modern society when it comes to being an individual rather than a so-called 'celebrity' and cannot seem to go anywhere without being noticed. I think he starts off telling us about his childhood so we can get a glimpse at why he is the way he is, we can also now understand his tendencies a lot more as now they do not just come out of the blue. And then we meet Annie Hall herself, she has a headache and is in a bad mood and does not have the patience nor energy to listen to Alvy complain again and again. He seems very apathetic towards Annie and doesn't even question her headache, he just thinks she is on her period, that is what he always thinks whenever Annie is in a bad mood, he does not care enough to even ask. Their plan was to go to the movies but it stared 2 MINUTES AGO, Alvy gets too self conscious and decides not to go in, he over exaggerates the situation and so they go spend their time trying to watch a different film. Alvy comes off as being hostile and quite selfish in a sense, always wanting or needing and never really topping to think. They go wait in line for movie tickets and while they are in line a man keeps talking into Alvy's ear, he can't help but listen and he starts to get irritated. He makes commentary while the man keeps talking about directors he likes and dislikes and why, then Alvy and Annie discuss their inactive sexual life quite loudly and then the man goes back to talking again. The break the man took just for them to talk about their sexual life was quite funny but what comes after that is even funnier. The fact that he is not even aware that Alvy and Annie are talking about him is funny and the comedic commentary is also a good touch. Then he breaks the fourth wall and they have an argument right at the camera about Marshall McLuhan, a known professor of media theory and this is the best part. It is a battle between intellectuals if their field and it is done so well. The entire film has that sort of motion of fast paced comedic commentary, quick jokes, quirky fashion, good directing, surrealism, dark humour I mean it has the entire woody Allen experience. I actually really like this movie, one of my favorites, I wish Woody Allen still had the opportunity to make films like this, he still has the talent but opportunity is short, not many people can do this type of comedy and make it work on screen and if they manage to do so it will probably look forced or be very unfunny and not feel authentic or natural enough to be good.Then we get a moment where they once again, discuss their sex life, they bring that conversation full circle and Alvy complains about how they have not had sex in months and he used to be sexy and they used to have sex constantly. This scene shows how sexually lackluster their relationship is and how distant they have grown. You can already start to pin point where the relationship starts to slip through the cracks a little bit. The film goes on like that for a while and that is how we see these characters, mostly through Alvy's perspective which is always exaggerated but they do have their moments of affection. New York is important in this film, it's politics and it's culture are all pivotal to understanding this film, you have to be able to think about what is being said and apply it to what Alvy is going through in the story. You can see the deep down issues with Alvy as well as the women he dates, he dates women who are completely opposite to himself, Annie is ditsy and a hopeless romantic happy go lucky woman and Alvy just likes to be paranoid about everything, make heat of the moment jokes and try to have sex with his ladies.Annie Hall has it's beautiful, soft moments where it is just Annie and Alvy together having a good time, while it has moments of self analysis, sexual discovery, political commentary and critiques of the human condition and society's uneducated intellectuals and relationships in general.
