Second Viewing: Annie Hall (1977) - Duration: 11:37.
I think we're all familiar with the
genre of the rom-com: two people start
out separate, and then they meet and
slowly come together. the rest of the
film is devoted to exploring the
relationship as it progresses, and the
suspense for us lies in whether or not
they stay together at the end. Despite
how formulaic this genre may seem, there
really are endless permutations and
variations that can be applied here, and
every once in a while, you get a film
that really illustrates the best of what
the genre has to offer. One thing that
sets the romantic comedy genre apart
from your typical romance film is, well
obviously, the comedy. But trying to
alleviate the tension and anxiety of the
couple by adding humor can often go too far,
resulting in stories that risk becoming
too cheerful and too shallow to feel
genuine. So, for me, the best romantic
comedies are those which are able to
properly balance the humor with the
real problems that people go through in
relationships. Annie Hall remains one of
the first and one of the best examples
of a film successfully balancing the
bittersweet ups and downs of the modern
relationship. At the time of its release,
it was unconventional for a romance
movie, mainly because at the end
the guy doesn't actually get the girl.
But it was also unconventional for a
comedy, because there's a certain kind of
melancholy which underlies the film's
jokes. "While Annie Hall includes many
jokes, the jokes often contribute a
tragic element of characterization or
feature as part of a tragic twist to the
romantic narrative." Throughout the course
of their relationship, main character
Alvy Singer and his girlfriend Annie
Hall exhibit signs of paranoia, obsession,
depression, and so forth, and while the
film finds particularly funny ways of
portraying this, it never allows the
humor to detract from the reality of the
characters' struggles. It goes without
saying that this is, on all accounts, a
Woody Allen film. In addition to writing
and directing the film, Allen also
starred alongside his ex-girlfriend
Diane Keaton, meaning that, in a sense, the
two were basically reenacting their own
past relationship within the film. Now, in
many ways, Annie Hall marked a distinctive
shift in Allen's style and
his career path. Allen himself comments
that, "in Annie Hall, [he] had reached some
kind of a personal plateau where [he] felt
that [he] could put the films that [he] had
done in the past behind [him] and [he]
wanted to take a step forward toward
realistic and deeper films. It was a real
turning point for [him] in every way. From
then on, [he] really counts Annie Hall as
the first step towards maturity in
making films." When i first watched the
film, I was a bit underwhelmed because
like many of the audiences who
originally saw it, I was introduced to
Woody Allen's work through his earlier
less serious films, which were more
focused on his particular brand of
ridiculous surreal humor. So when Annie
Hall took a more subdued tone, I didn't
really know how to react. But over time,
my respect for the film quietly grew, and
when I watched again, knowing this time
what to expect,
I was better able to recognize the
film's genius. One of the easiest and
most tempting ways to recommend a film
is to compare it to another film, and
that's actually how I was going to start
this video: introducing Annie Hall by
comparing it to its modern successor
that was clearly inspired by it, (500) Days
of Summer. But the problem with this
method is that sometimes the friend
you're talking to hasn't seen the film
that you're using as a reference point,
and similarly, I don't know how many of
the people who are watching this have
seen (500) Days of Summer.
Nonetheless, I think it's good to examine
some of the differences and similarities
between these two films as a means of
drawing attention to what makes Annie Hall
so distinct as a story. Like (500) Days of
Summer, Annie Hall is structured as the non-
chronological reflections of a man on a
past relationship, and both films also
employ various fantasy sequences and
unexpected camera tricks to create some
really funny unexpected and memorable
scenes. But while (500) Days centers on the
divide between expectation and reality,
Annie Hall goes a bit further. In this
scene, Tom's delusions about his
relationship with Summer dissipate, and
he becomes aware of his false
expectations. But Annie Hall isn't just
about expectations vs. reality; it's about
a problem with perception vs. reality,
and it's about how the main character's
desires influence that perception and
how his more deeply ingrained
psychological problems influence those
desires. Early on in the film, Allen's
character Alvy comments on his own
struggle with this: "You know, I have a
hyperactive imagination. My mind tends to
jump around a little and I have some
trouble between fantasy and reality." This
comment serves to establish the film's
very fluid sense of reality. The fourth
wall is very often broken and characters
often intrude upon memory, and memory and
fantasy frequently intrude upon reality,
always for an unexpected comedic effect.
But all the film's clever imagine spots
aren't merely there for the humor;
they also reinforce the more serious
divide between truth and perception, and
it's the connection here between humor
and theme which keeps the varied style
of the film's jokes from seeming
incoherent. But the film doesn't simply
address the problem of delusion on the
individual level; it also hints that Alvy's
problem might be more universal, that
maybe we all delude ourselves a little
bit in our relationships with others. "In
fact the dichotomy of the real and the
ideal, addressed by Allen through the
implied difference between documentary
and fiction, was part of solving the
problem of why human relationships can
be so difficult...
Annie Hall is, in some sense, a testimony
on the tendency of an entire culture to
deny and deceive itself." It's important
here to focus on the original working
title for the film: "anhedonia", which
literally means the inability to feel
pleasure.
This is what Allen essentially believes
is wrong with his main character. As soon
as Alvy has what he wants, he loses
interest in it, and this prevents him
from being able to maintain stability in
his relationship with Annie. He becomes
paranoid that her desire for him is
fading, and in response, he overreacts. He
fears that the happiness he's
experiencing is the result of his own
delusion, and thus he creates a delusion
of misery to live in
instead. These psychological elements of
the film are important
because, well, the film places an emphasis
on psychology. Psychoanalytical
therapists are omnipresent in the film,
and Alvy himself is obsessed with
trying to psychoanalyze himself,
filtering back through his memories at
the film's beginning and trying to
figure out where things went wrong.
This explains the film's
stream-of-consciousness structure. In the
early minutes of the film, the scenes are
linked by Alvy's train of thought: one
memory leads to another which leads to
another, all linked not by the passage of
time, but by words or ideas which connect
them. "...a series of cold showers." "Max, my
serve gonna send yuh to the showers
early." "Right, right." Unfortunately, a subject that
has to be discussed when analyzing any
Woody Allen film is Woody Allen himself.
To say that he's become a controversial
figure over time is a bit of an
understatement.
When an artist is controversial, the
default response of critics is to try to
find a way to distance or separate the
work from the artist, which honestly
doesn't make much sense, because good or
bad,
there is always a connection between the
artist and the work he produces, and
despite how much we believe that the two
are different, trying to find the
similarity will better help us
understand the artists and their work.
Some people are disillusioned when they
discover that the lovable on-screen
Woody Allen is, in real life, kind of an
asshole. But for me it's been easier to
reconcile him with his creative output
because I've always seen the characters
that he plays as assholes as well.
Present in all of them is a
preoccupation with sex, death, and the
self... "I'm obsessed with death. I
think. Big subject with me. I have a very
pessimistic view of life; you should know
this about me if we're going to go out, you
know, I feel that life is is divided up
into the horrible and miserable:
those are the two categories. You know,
the horrible would be like, I don't know,
terminal cases, you know, and blind
people, cripples, I don't know how they get through
life, it's amazing to me, you know, and the
miserable is everyone else. So when
you go through life, you should be thankful that you're
miserable. Because you're very
lucky to be miserable." ...that all
contributes to a personality which is on
the whole very narcissistic. This doesn't
mean that I don't enjoy watching his
films. I think he's one of the funniest
men to ever grace the screen. But despite
his wit and his wisdom about life and
relationships,
it's still easy to see Allen himself
falling into the same psychological
traps that his characters fall into; the
traps of self-centeredness, of being
blind to the needs of others.
I don't think that it's wrong to pick apart
Allen's own mind and the mind of his
character simultaneously, because he
invites it. On many occasions, he has
remarked that many of these characters
closely resemble himself.
I think it's particularly telling that
in this film the character is a Jewish
New York-based comedian, much like Allen
himself at the time. In the film, then,
Allen is acknowledging his own
shortcomings, but as we see from his own
life, being aware of your shortcomings
doesn't always mean being able to move
past them. So, without pardoning his
mistakes, we have to recognize that they
are a part of not only his personal
identity, but also his artistic identity,
just as his work serves as a testament
to his talent and intellect in his life
behind and apart from the camera. "You
know how you're always trying to
get things to come out perfect in art,
because it's real difficult in life." So
what is the final message of Annie Hall?
We know at this point that the film's
main focus is about addressing the
problems that we all have in
distinguishing between perception, desire
and reality in the realm of modern
relationships. But so far I haven't said
anything about what kind of solution
film offers in response to this problem,
if any. I think that Allen's solution lies
in the film's ending, where we are shown
a montage of their relationship. Here, as
his journey through his memories is
finally coming to a close, Alvy is
realizing that the time he spent and the
memories that he's gained have made the
experience worth it, because in the realm
of memory, time is, in fact, irrelevant and
moments are suspended in time, isolated
indefinitely.
it may sound cliche, especially now that
I'm essentially repeating the same
message from last week's review, but
maintaining a positive perspective on
life requires accepting the bad with the
good,
and that, despite the cost, there's
something in us which compels us, some
part of us that needs the companionship
that another human being can provide.
Throughout the review, I've tried
spoiling as few jokes as possible because
many of the jokes really only work in
context,
when you have the weight of the
drama propelling them forward. Also
because, as I discussed in my Airplane!
review, the unexpected is the essence of
comedy, and there are so many unexpected
little gags throughout the film that I
couldn't bring myself to ruin the
surprise. But in the end, despite how
varied and hilarious and coherent the
film's comedy is, I hope I don't need to
use the comedy to convince you to see it,
because despite being a particularly
smart and inventive film, it's also a
profound one and, if you're willing to
give it a chance, a very emotionally
moving film, too. "Like, I would want to
actually have, like, a very great life and
to, like, know that it was fake.
Like, that that would make the steak
taste better to me, it's like, a computer
put work into stimulating this so that I
could taste it." "And it still sucks..."
