Woody Allen 简直快成为了我的 moral model. 他用絮絮叨叨的电影来发泄自己对自我、爱情和生命的思考，嘲讽自谑以及带些神经质的浪漫。神经质是个美妙的词语，但同时又矛盾而痛苦。像所有优秀的艺术家一样，Allen有着超乎常人的敏感体质， that's the reason why he could perfectly personalize every city. 但他同时也很清醒，在拥有艺术家的悲观的同时，他拥有旁观者鞭笞的眼光。同时值得庆幸的是，他还拥有拍电影的天赋。所以他能把这种悲观和冷眼同时记录在每一帧画面里。
我沉迷于Woody Allen, 大概就就是拥这种不安分和冷静的灵魂，保持对最伟大命题的渴求和在现实中生活的美妙的烟火气。
这大概是第一部我看完意犹未尽的黑白影片。Allen的早期影片，Manhanttan (1979)。
赤裸裸和无情的自我批判：“He was given to fits of rage, Jewish liberal paranoia, male chauvinism, self righteous misanthropy and nihilistic moods of despair. He had complaints about life, but never any solutions. He longed to be an artist, but balked at necessary sacrifices. In his most private moments, he spoke of his his fear of death which he elevated to tragic heights when, in fact, it was just a narcissism. "
最有共鸣的关于" Why is life worth living?" 的回答: " Well, there're certain things that I guess make it worthwhile. Like what? For me, I would say, Groucho Marx, to name one thing.. and Willie Mays, and the second movement of the Jupiter Symphony, and er.. Louie Armstrong recording of "Potatohead Blues", Swedish movies, naturally, Sentimental Education by Flaubert, Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra, those incredible apples and peas by Cezanne, the crabs at Sam Wo's, Tracy's face.. "
以及Mariel Hemingway 小雏菊般的结尾： "Not everybody gets corrupted. God, you have to have a little faith in people."
Yale对着Issac喊， We are human beings. You think yourself a god.
Allen就是有些自恋，但谁又不认为自己是上帝的化身。
