This is one of the more famous Woody Allen movies, and i can see why. i hadn't seen this movie before and i wish that i had, because it was really good. however if i had seen it before i don't know if i would have gotten it. if this movie was released today it owuldn't be that big of a deal because the stuff that WA did that took him and gordon years i could do on my laptop. the making of the old movies is amazing the technique is phenominal. ok i want to take back my earlier statement. you could do something like that but WA made this movie in with the same materials that they did in the 20's so it looks and sounds very authentic. and they used real experts like susan sontag. cool.
the thing that i think gets overlooked and WA says the same thing is that the story gets overshadowed by the techinque of this movie. so that fact that this is a parrable about being yourself and standingup for what you believe often gets overlooked. for fucks sake this should be shown and explained these days. WA and mia farrow are really good in this movie and it's a shame that the technique often takes a back seat when talking about this ingenious plot and movie.
four hotsauce packets.
