    It was the first time I saw an old man's movie on the big screen, and I was a little scared by the amazing speed of speech, complicated nouns and frequent golden sentences (wanted to stop studying the lines several times?) The male protagonist is cynical, self-righteous, nihilistic, and a A person who is smart but stupid in love, maybe this is what most intellectuals in New York looked like at that time. Tracy is a really good girl. Although she is only seventeen years old, she knows how to see...

    This is a story between 2 men and 4 women in Manhattan. Instead of pressing the audience with conflict and rhythm like the traditional Hollywood model, the story is told slowly. Isaac's words show his inner loneliness and insecurity all the time, and the weird soundtrack always shows the characters' emotions appropriately. The silhouette scene at the planetarium was really amazing. Three different angles to show them driving on the road is very...

    The middle-aged man in Manhattan is a rhapsodic rhapsody. When Gershwin's clarinet came out at the beginning, I knew I couldn't escape... tracy said "you keep stating it like it's to my advantage, when it's you that wants to get out of it", are you saying this is deja vu or what? but when tracy's fully grown up, who knows how the dynamic would...

    Not everyone changes, you have to have some confidence in people. People who are tired and simple in love can understand it better, but they just want to depend on each other, why should it be so...

    He - Jewish liberal paranoid, self-righteous, cynical, complaining about life, but helpless; wanting to be an artist, but afraid of sacrifice. Moreover, he will cry when watching "Gone with the...

    Woody Allen's so-called New Yorker's intellectual romantic side and vulnerable selfish side are vividly displayed, and perhaps the most lethal acerbic irony comes from the most unreserved spirit of...

    Woody Allen's "Manhattan" in 1979, I am the brightest light in your life, but you are depressed in silhouette with her. . . 37 years ago, Woody Allen was a bald and shriveled little old man, and the brute force of intellectuals was all pretended to be tears. Wen Qingcheng is precious, and Lolita is more expensive, and she is flirting and...

    Mei Gu's aura is amazing, wow TRACY, listen to your little old Hatsune who was photographed on the Disney set. "He failed me, but i fell in love with him." This is the realm that college girls should be equal...

    great movie. unsatisfying ending. well, maybe that's exactly the point the movie wanted to...

    1. I feel that the "Manhattan" written, directed and acted by Woody Allen more or less reflects some of his personal interests; 2. Writes his real life experiences into books or films, and reality Some news reports in life (such as the chat records of Wang Sicong and Sun Yining that broke out on the Internet in the past two days) will inevitably have a good or bad impact on the relevant people, and I have also considered related issues; 3. Not everybody gets corrupted. You have to have a little...

    This is a romance film that talks about "morality and principle"

    Isaac: Screenwriter, 42 years old. Divorced twice, spokesperson of human weakness. He wanted to be the owner of "morality and principle", but in the end he couldn't get rid of the influence of "non-morality and non-principle", so he had been doing "non-moral and non-principle" things from...

    A love letter to New York and Woody Allen's self-mockery

    If "Annie Hall" was Woody Allen's love letter to love, and "Purple Rose of Cairo" was written for film, then "Manhattan" was undoubtedly written for New York. No matter whether it is Paris, Rome, or Greece, they are no match for his love for New York. Even if the city is devastated by modern...

Manhattan quotes

  • Isaac Davis: So what does, what does your analyst say? I mean, did you speak to him?

    Mary Wilke: Well, Donny's in a coma, he had a very bad acid experience.

  • Isaac Davis: What are you telling me, that you're going to leave Emily, is this true, and run away with the winner of the Zelda Fitzgerald emotional maturity award?

    Yale: Look, I love her, I've always loved her.

    Isaac Davis: What kind of crazy friend are you?

    Yale: I'm a good friend! I introduced her to you, remember?

    Isaac Davis: Right, what was the point? I don't understand that!

    Yale: Well, I thought you liked her?

    Isaac Davis: Yes, I do like her, now we both like her!

    Yale: Yeah, well I liked her first!

    Isaac Davis: I liked her first? What are you, six years old? Jeezus!

    Yale: Look, I thought it was over. I mean, would I have encouraged you to take her out if I still liked her?

    Isaac Davis: So, what, you like her, now you don't like her, then you did like her, you know it's still early, you can change your mind one more time before dinner!

    Yale: Don't get sarcastic about this. You think I like this?

    Isaac Davis: How long were you going to see her without saying anything to me?

    Yale: Don't turn this into one of your big moral issues!

    Isaac Davis: You could have said, but all you had to do was call me and talk to me. You know, I'm very understanding. I'd have said no, but you'd have felt honest!

    Yale: I wanted to tell you about it, I knew it was going to upset you! We had a few innocent meetings.

    Isaac Davis: A few? She said one! You guys should get your story straight, you know. Don't you rehearse?

    Yale: We met twice for coffee.

    Isaac Davis: Hey come off it, she doesn't drink coffee! What'd you do, meet for Sanka? That's not too romantic, you know, it's a little on the geriatric side.

    Yale: Well, I'm not a saint, okay.

    Isaac Davis: But, you're too easy on yourself! Don't you see that? That's your problem, that's your whole problem. You rationalize everything, you're not honest with yourself. You talk about, you want to write a book, but in the end you'd rather buy the Porsche, you know. Or, you cheat a little bit on Emily and you play around the truth a little with me, and next thing you know, you're in front of a Senate committee and you're naming names, you're informing on your friends!

    Yale: You are so self righteous, you know. We're just people! We're just human beings, you know. You think you're God!

    Isaac Davis: I gotta model myself after someone!
