Woody Allen is far more articulate, insightful, and intelligent than most people realize. He has consciously experienced the denial of death, the gloomy meaninglessness of reality, and the pointless journey of the Universe, and yet he has always found an artistic expression to make it humanly bearable.
I think we all realize it. You couldn’t write this many brilliant films without being at least insightful and intelligent. He’s also an accomplished musician.
I still remember that summer afternoon when I realize what deatth (mine in particular) would really mean.The deep shiver that went through all my mind and body.....
Woody Allen on Antinatalism From an interview in the Sunday Times, October 2nd, 2011. "I never thought I was doing anyone a favour by bringing children into the world. With people as cruel to each other as they are, it’s a terrible proposition. The best of lives are sad and tragic. The best of them. My general conclusion is that it’s not a nice thing to do. The world doesn’t need it. The kid doesn’t need it. When the interviewer, obviously a little incredulous, responded by saying that surely a man of Allen’s wealth could guarantee a child a good life, Woody answered I can’t guarantee a child anything. I can’t guarantee that I was around five minutes after he or she was born."
Hey, the guy is truthfully facing the facts. It's a terrifying truth we alll have to live with. No wonder people have made up stories and built them into worldwide delusions.
You're talking about religions? Yeah religions are based on the fear of death mostly. Probably some people going crazy over the idea of it. But after all we don't know if there is really nothing after. What is sure is that religions are invented by humans.
Who's we?? and why do you feel the need to talk for other people?? No, we don't love you woody, If living is so pointless for you, why dont you get out and make room for somebody else? Self loathing is a' most miserable way to live. You have everything. In a dictionary I saw, the word crybaby had a picture for a definition. Ironically, It was Woody.
Everything is conditional, predetermined, one and the same, and eternally reoccurring as everything else nature can create to be worth nothing and everything.
The knowledge of permanent death is a gift in that, with a certain perspective and assuming positive conditions, allows one to relish the only thing we can be certain of: the now we have. We've all been dead for billions of years and then our consciousness came to be. The only thing that matters to us is when we are conscious, a state of being that's only found in a relatively tiny amount of mass in our universe. Appreciate it and its manifestation in others. There's little time to waste.
Religion is the blue pill. Red pill is thinking of the possibility that they may be nothing and that it's very probable. We can't understand infinity of space and time. It drives us crazy.
It's an honest view of his perception of reality which I believe is 100% true. Like he said at the end, “All people know the same truth. Our lives consist of how we choose to distort it.”
@@timothywait9457 I agree, but joy is easily found in every circumstance, you just have to know where to look. In my opinion Woody has lived his whole life and missed it. So sad. I love the man.
God didn't create us to just vanish. We can unfortunately die without Christ and be separated from God, but God doesn't want that for you. He wants you to repent, and accept Jesus as your savior.
@@IKENAK Good question Mark. It is a very sad thing, but unfortunately, people can go to hell because they do not believe or (reject) Christ and his saving Grace. God does not want anyone to perish or die, but for all to come to a knowledge of truth. He wants no person, good, or bad to ever die!!! (2 Peter 3:9) Which is why he sent his son to die for our sins. (John 3:16) You see, sin is a result of man disobeying God and we are all born under sin. But God knew this would happen, which is why the universe was created through Jesus. (1 Colossians 1:16) If you believe Jesus died for your sins, then he will set you free from the bondage of sin, and he will bring you back to a relationship with God. This is a lot of info. Ask God to reveal himself to you, and I 100% guarantee that he will help you believe in him. He wants you to be with him, Hell is not a place for his children but a place prepared for the devil and his angels. But yes, those who reject God and Christ's saving grace, will go to Hell. God's plan is that no one perishes. He is a loving God. He has given us the gift of salvation, and it is our choice if we are to accept Jesus' gift, and follow him!

The fact that you even believe that YOUR God is evil enough to let die for ever people who didn't believe in him nor never even heard of him just shows how religions are insane and deeply evil. I don't believe a single second that if there is indeed a form of conscious creator, a form of after life (I really hope) etc that God will judge us and let the ones that didn't believe just die forever, this is absolutely selfish. We don't even control our beliefs.
"The universe is expanding... That will be the end of everything." "What is that your business?!"

I hear you...a big reason I like Woody's work so much.

I absolutely adore Woody Allen
Who was it who said, "If I knew the world would end tomorrow, I would still plant an apple tree today." There is meaning in every day.

Not Applicable Keep fooling yourself, “we” don’t care ;)
Woody always cheers me up.
He's so right - we are all in a state of denial of, or distraction from our inevitable destruction. Love his honesty.
Being Smart is hell!
Yeap sometimes I would just prefer to be one of those happy overly religious people

I agree with Woody Allen.Nothing matters. We are all dead for eternity.
Everything is conditional, predetermined, one and the same, and eternally reoccurring as everything else nature can create to be worth nothing and everything.

"Brooklyn is not expanding!" Haha I love him. I have alot in common with him.
"what is that your business",,,great line !
"We all know the same truth and our lives consist of how we choose to distort it."
Wish Woody could make a movie every year for the next 20 years
I definitely love than man.
"Where I grew up in Brooklyn no one committed suicide they were too unhappy."
Why does this make sense? It shouldn't...
I was scared of death but after my father passed away, I think Im considerably less scared of it now.
@@fionasatrap3309Yeah hopping that there is something
Please don't die.
I can't live if living is without you.
he is in hell lul
@@drewblanche LOL
@@drewblancheEarth is hell when you think of death all the time

WOODY SAVE ME
Hang in there!
He's z from antz
I think our life is taking the blue pill. Which means we don't admit we will die cause that will make us happy and not suffer till it happens
Religion is the blue pill.
Red pill is thinking of the possibility that they may be nothing and that it's very probable. We can't understand infinity of space and time. It drives us crazy.

What a sad view of life.

Whats the point?
Is that sharon stone?
Yes.
Woody takes his depression too seriously..... that's why he's so miserable
🤔

Where do those who didn't believe in Jesus go?
