In Reply to: Woody Allen posted by Victor Khomenko on June 4, 2001 at 08:49:18:
I don't know why people don't mention Woody Allen and his movies often enough whenever they are talking about great American films. I only know why I don't. Sure, his movies are very very good, but I never felt like I had a truly mesmerizing cinematic experience. This is in contrast to movies by Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Ang Lee (ever since Sense and Sensibility), and even James Cameron himself (ugghh!), who dazzled me to no end. Perhaps it's the low-tech low-budget "feel" and "look" of his movies. Perhaps it's the fact that his movies give me the impression that I'm eavesdropping on someone else's life. Who knows?I love "Annie Hall" by the way. When it first came out, I was a lad of only 13 years old and didn't watch it. I had seen "Star Wars" that year and loved that film (but who didn't at the time?). During the Oscar ceremonies, I waited anxiously hoping for "Star Wars" to win the Best Picture. Of course, it didn't win. "Annie Hall" won and I was furious! How could a Woody Allen comedy win Best Picture, I asked myself! A month or two later, I decided to watch "Annie Hall" and changed my perspective on film and cinema. Heck, I was surprised that I liked it more than "Star Wars"!
