I thought Tracy would tell woody fuck off bluntly at the end, but I didn't expect the ending to be so tender.

the decay of contemporary culture, a city falling in the eyes of intellectuals. Woody is full of narcissistic sense of justice, gossip is the new pornography, infinitely raising the level of problems, refusing to accept the fact that cars, sleeping pills, television, and dating herself with a female school; Mary has deceptive rhetoric to describe the fall of feelings, constantly stacking The vocabulary of literature and art attempts to analyze one's own emotional state, but such an attempt is like a show.

"I came from Philadelphia, my parents have been married for 43 years, nobody is cheating on anyone".

Is it to attribute everything to Manhattan?

The person who makes the most excuses for herself is the writer: professor, editor, writer, journalist. In terms of her mind and kindness, she is not as good as a seventeen-year-old high school girl-although she seems to be just a beautified girl. Symbol: not many words, quiet, ideal like Cezanne's apple.

    Woody Allen-style middle-class talker syndrome, the ability to ramble is not as strong as "Annie Hall", which is better than a small fresh stubbornness. Merryl Streep made a cameo role in the film. She didn't have a lot of scenes, and she didn't have much room to play. It's just that Aunt Mei, who still has a charm today, was amazingly beautiful back then.

    The relationship between the people and the scene is very strange. The characters are too familiar with the place, and photography often emphasizes a certain sense of strangeness. It's hard to assess the effect of this fragmentation on the film.
