I assume the people mocking the simplicity of QT's story have never experienced anything similar. So my question is: Do they actually love movies? Do they really have no clue what he's talking about? The experience of spontaneously going to the theater and watching a life-changing film, after which the world suddenly feels a bit more balanced and beautiful, even if just for a while - and you can't even put in words what exactly it was about this film
People today are too fat to ride a bike. And, if they aren't, it would have been nicked while they were watching the film and they'd have had to walk home in the rain, and it would be dark by the time they got home.
The answer to your question is that for many people movies aren’t that important. They go watch a movie for a couple of hours, there’s a car chase, flames smoke, some talking. They get up go home and don’t think about it much. If they are ever asked, they say ‘they’ve seen that movie’, but not really, they were there but they didn’t really think about it all that much. It was entertainment. They never went to have their life changed.
@@Known-unknownsI refer to those people as "popcorn eaters", after a scene in White Hunter Black Heart. I suppose that's pretty elitist on my part, but what most people want from a movie is to just turn their brains off for a couple hours.
I saw Annie Hall with my first girlfriend 2:00 in 1978 as the relationship was nearing its end. We both knew it was over but we both had mostly good memories. We were heading in different directions. Annie Hall helped me process it all in a healthy way and understand that everything would be okay.
He described it perfectly. He'd just seen something he didn't have a way of clearly describing. Even though I saw 'Annie Hall' as a young man and hadn't experienced life that deeply, I felt the film was wise. That the statement it was making at the end, that his time with Annie was good and important even though it wasn't the typical happily ever after ending, was of importance. The movie teaches you that everyone you spend time with enriches your life. However it resolves.
I don’t think that’s getting quite to the core. Annie is a basket case who will never be ready for intimacy. This the whole “you seem removed” scene. It’s about the existential angst of the “modern woman”, her unstable identity and inability to achieve intimacy. And we can see where it led in Woody’s own life too. This is where Manhattan comes in with its explanation of why men end up chasing younger women. Experience complicates.
When I saw ANNIE HALL in 1977 it instantly became my Favorite Film of All Time. I was 17 and was so impressed with the writing, acting, editing and creative style. I relate to the theme so much with friends, family and romantic relationships. When a relationship ends we can still enjoy that period of our lives even if it's in the past. Not only is it a perfect film it's one of the funniest films of all time.
@@fvzman I'm 64 and my Top 5 Films of All Time go way back. All 1960s and 1970s. THE GRADUATE. A CLOCKWORK ORANGE. ANNIE HALL. PLANET OF THE APES and CABARET. Those films made me who I am today....a lunatic!

I felt the same way after seeing Fargo in Closter, N.J. theater before they split in to multiple theaters and eventually closed the theater. Didn't know anything about it. Zero expectations. Just loved it and thought about it when I drove back down the shore.
For context, QT now lists Annie Hall as being a "perfect movie". And I agree. I was an enormous WA fan as a kid, but at the time I didn't quite get into AH. It wasn't until later in life that I had a lot of life experience behind me that I watched it again and it all made sense. A lot of movies can be that way--have different meanings at various points in your life. For example, I loved E.T. as a child, but later in life watching it again it was an entirely different experience for me.
He's one to talk. He also created a perfect movie Pulp Fiction. I would argue more of his works are perfect but i will just take a beating from the reddit mod crowd

@Dr_C_Smith Scorsese has boss knowledge of films pre-70s but I think Quentin almost certainly beat him in the 70s, Quentin saw so much. Scorsese was a busy working director in the 70s remember, Quentin had the massive free time advantage of the two.
Crazy perfect timing, I was just browsing UA-cam trying to find his thoughts on this film (or Woody generally) the other day. This channel is still as much of a treasure trove as it's always been, thank you for all the effort you put into these.
Annie Hall and Godfather II are my favorite movies of all time. i managed a movie theater at the time and probably saw each film more than 100 times. I have the screenplay memorized. I said: "what we have here is a dead shark" quite a few times throughout my life. And, that bit about Marshall McLuhan and wanting to hit someone with a sock full of manure is absolutely priceless. Who hasn't wanted to hit a pedantic verbose know-it-all with a sock full of manure? I can definitely relate. The '70s was a magical time for cinema.
What a wonderful way to describe a cinematic experience, just like a secret rendez vous. Tarantino really loves movies more than anything. He's not retired yet but I already miss him so much, like the end of an era.
I was 15 when I first saw it, in 1996, and I felt many of the same things he's talking about. As funny as the movie wa,s I felt a sense of grief for Alvie and Annie's relationship. I didn't fully comprehend such a thing in my own life at the time, but I could feel it for them. I just watched it recently, and the movie still holds up as a masterpiece.
I wonder if this early experience seeing Annie Hall had any conscious or unconscious influence of the non-linear time jumps in Pulp Fiction. Would be interesting to ask him.
I was around the same age when I saw Annie Hall for the first time and I get that. Rented a vhs copy from the library in Middle School and knew it was funny at times but didn't get it. Didn't have the life experience yet to relate
When I saw ‘Annie Hall’ as a teenager it was unique to me even if I didn’t understand it much at the time. Behind all the jokes it had some deep humanism which I think you don’t see that much in romantic comedies.
WA has been the only one who kept alive the classic spirit of sophisticated comedies and comedy-dramas of the Golden Age, of the 30s and 40s. He did many great screwball comedies and great pure dramas, but to me Woody's art is at its best when it blends them, the great comedy and ironic - sometimes even goofy - touch with the drama and the beautiful melancholy of life (Annie Hall, Manhattan, Hannah and her sisters, and many others..). Deconstructing Harry is probably my favorite, but to me Annie Hall is one of the most 'perfect' movies ever made, which is a label that cannot really be described with parameters, you just have to feel it. You know what I mean?
Never could happen today because a 13 yo today could never hop on his bike and go see a movie by himself without telling his mom. I did this kind of stuff as a70s kid all the time even at 10 and 11 yo. You could disappear for several hours and your parents never thought any thing of it as long as you were back before dinner or it got dark out.
i have a small personal story like that with kill bill, cause at the time going to the movies seemed to have become so boring, all my favorite directors were making their worst movies, including woody, then tarantino comes back with kill bill and it was like watching a movie for the first time again, everything about it felt so new and exciting to me
One thing about Annie Hall that I always thought was kind of a mystery, was the famous scene on line at the movie theater where he brings out Marshall McLuhan from behind the poster, McLuhan clearly flubbed his line but it stayed in the film I can't believe Woody didn't notice it. There's a little about that on line, but nothing that fully makes sense.
Never much cared for Woody Allen or Diane Keaton, but Tarantino is a movie afficionado so I get where he is coming from. The best part was him being a kid in the 1970's and just being able to what he wanted on a summers day by himself.
Films like “Swingers” and “Sideways” would continue the tradition of the introspective, male-oriented romantic comedy into the 90s and early 2000s… but today they no longer make them
I haven't seen *Annie Hall* yet, and I'm wondering how I would feel about it. I've seen *Bananas* and maybe one or two other Allien films.. .they're alright. Don't love nor hate him.. but I get Tarantino here. Some things really only have an effect on you at a certain time of your life, and if you don't see it at that moment it just doesn't have the same impact. I completely understand why something like *Star Wars* may not have the effect on Millenials or Gen-Zers the way it did for me and a lot of my (Gen-X) generation. To have no idea what to expect... to see FX go from "stop motion" stuff in the *Sinbad* movies to what you see in *Star Wars...* just everything about it was mindblowing _at the time._ Much like how *The Godfather* is considered a good and _respectable_ movie, and *The Exorcist* is more creepy than scary (or how some people think the medical scenes are more terrifying than the actual Exorcism).. you just don't realize the impact these movies had on society short of being there, knowing nothing of what was to come, until it played on the movie screen.
Tarantino talks about ALL kinds of movies with fondness. Marvel movies, art movies, horror movies, whatever. He loves French New Wave, and he loves Tony Scott. He loves Wong Kar-Wai, and Brian DePalma was his personal hero. Maybe you only listen to certain interviews, because that guy talks all the time about all kinds of movies.
How about you don't hook up with the adopted daughter of your crazy ex wife? "Annie Hall" is a creepy guy's fantasy of being with beautiful women like Diane Keaton. If it was Woody the insurance salesman, Diane wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole. But he always places himself in a position where attractive women have to be nice to him, both personally and professionally. That's primetime creepy behavior. His characters are creeps, and he's a creep in real life.
That are plenty of awful things you can do that aren't illegal. Having sex with your daughter-in-law seems pretty awful to me. He makes excellent movies, but he's not an excellent guy. Some people separate the artist from their art, some people don't.
@@wallacehoward2792 she was never his DIL. 1. You mean step-daughter, but she wasn’t that either. 2. He was not married to Mia Farrow, and did not live in the same house with her and the children she had and adopted with Andre Previn. 3. Soon-Yi said that her father (and only person filling that role in her life) was Andre Previn. Woody is much older than her, but she was never his step-daughter and he never filled a fatherly role for her.
@@tedgreen221You're right in everything you said, but I think in regards to the "canceling" of Woody Allen, they are referring to the allegations by Dylan, which, If you look at the case,it seems pretty likely that that did not happen. But the issue of Soon -Yi and Dylan are connected in the sense that it was Woody's relationship with Soon -Yi that caused Mia to concoct this story and coach Dylan. It's a case study in how to smear an innocent man.
People always tell the same about me. "How could you remember *that* so well? Your mind is amazing!". But I keep saying that it is not actually mind-related, it's emotion-related. My 'real' memory actually sucks, believe me, but I've always been pretty "sensible" in terms of certain emotions, about things I love and their effect on me (cinema is one of them), so those moments are printed in my soul, as if they just happened. I even remember the seating position in the theater of movies I watched as a kid. At the same time I'm able to forget everything else just as easily. Don't know if QT falls in this category or he truly got a remarkable memory about everything.
My dad took me when I was about ten … no doubt he thought it was going to be a zany affair, like Bananas, say. I didn’t really get it, and felt a little uncomfortable watching it with him. When I saw it the next time, as a young adult, I did realize how good it was. I've probably seen it a dozen times over the years, and would still watch it again
I think it was either Siskel or Ebert gave the movie a thumbs-down initially because it wasn't funny in the traditional Woody Allen manner. Later, perhaps months or even a year or so later, they had a "revisit" of the movie, and they changed their tune.
A UK review of Love And Death, Allen's previous movie, read, "I have a feeling that one of these days Woody Allen will get it most dreadfully together and make a film which is more than a string of funny one liners and set pieces." Well, that feeling was spot on! The gap in ambition, content and style between Love And Death and Annie Hall is one heck of a leap. You get the sense that an artist has finally learned - or dared - how to be fully himself.

Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction are non-linear, like Annie Hall. The difference, I think, is that you don’t truly realize it in AH until it’s over. It’s much more subtle and seamless.
He was affected by this film, but interestingly, this is the least "affected" I have ever heard Tarantino when he has spoken about film. Maybe it's just him feeling a bit melancholy- the feeling he recalled having years ago, and maybe is having- that is tempering his usually exuberant personality.
Annie Hall obviously wasn't an influence on Tarantino because he never made a film that dealt with relationships on such a personal and intimate level.
🎉… How many viewers get it ? … someone asks … true. I got the story, but my thing was corny English-dubbed Japanese horror movies. And daylight movies in a stand alone theater by yourself and then riding home on your own bike and nobody at home really knew or cared. Fine with me!
Big Woody Allen fan and he has made so many great movies but I was never that into Annie Hall. It's decent but I never thought it was this masterpiece like so many others do.

It certainly has it's virtues, but 47 years later I must say I find "Annie Hall" kind of overrated. It's neither funny, nor moving enough, to call Allen's masterpiece, and Diane Keaton's been better, too.
I could never buy Woody Allen being a romantic leading man to any of his pairings in all of his dramatic movies. Might have worked in his screwball comedies but not in his more grounded work. Just took me right out. Just too ridiculous.
Arthur Miller was married to Marilyn Monroe. Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley. Beyonce and Jay-Z. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony. Woody Allen was actually very popular with women back then. He's smart, he's funny, and he's rich. Some women wanted a macho, tough guy (like Clint Eastwood), and some wanted a sensitive, thoughtful guy (like Woody Allen). It's really not that weird, actually.

Tarantino talks about ALL kinds of movies with fondness. Marvel movies, art movies, horror movies, whatever. He loves French New Wave, and he loves Tony Scott. He loves Wong Kar-Wai, and Brian DePalma was his personal hero. Maybe you only listen to certain interviews, because that guy talks all the time about all kinds of movies.
@@wallacehoward2792 Relax, fanboy. Relax. You'll get over this somehow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right, yeah, wow
Justice for Woody. Cancelling someone who was never found guilty in court is a gross modern contagion
How about you don't hook up with the adopted daughter of your crazy ex wife? "Annie Hall" is a creepy guy's fantasy of being with beautiful women like Diane Keaton. If it was Woody the insurance salesman, Diane wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole. But he always places himself in a position where attractive women have to be nice to him, both personally and professionally. That's primetime creepy behavior. His characters are creeps, and he's a creep in real life.
That are plenty of awful things you can do that aren't illegal. Having sex with your daughter-in-law seems pretty awful to me. He makes excellent movies, but he's not an excellent guy. Some people separate the artist from their art, some people don't.
He didn't have sex with his daughter in law. He had NO daughter in law.@@wallacehoward2792
@@wallacehoward2792 she was never his DIL. 1. You mean step-daughter, but she wasn’t that either. 2. He was not married to Mia Farrow, and did not live in the same house with her and the children she had and adopted with Andre Previn. 3. Soon-Yi said that her father (and only person filling that role in her life) was Andre Previn. Woody is much older than her, but she was never his step-daughter and he never filled a fatherly role for her.
@@tedgreen221You're right in everything you said, but I think in regards to the "canceling" of Woody Allen, they are referring to the allegations by Dylan, which, If you look at the case,it seems pretty likely that that did not happen. But the issue of Soon -Yi and Dylan are connected in the sense that it was Woody's relationship with Soon -Yi that caused Mia to concoct this story and coach Dylan. It's a case study in how to smear an innocent man.
His memory is outfuckingstanding. I can't remember what I did two days ago, but this mf remembers EVERYTHING. Truly admirable.
If it's movie related Quentin will remember it.
Let's just say, when he says "3:30" it might've been "1:30". There is no way anyone can remember the exact time something happened 46 years ago.
@@spurv it's not that weird.
People always tell the same about me. "How could you remember *that* so well? Your mind is amazing!". But I keep saying that it is not actually mind-related, it's emotion-related. My 'real' memory actually sucks, believe me, but I've always been pretty "sensible" in terms of certain emotions, about things I love and their effect on me (cinema is one of them), so those moments are printed in my soul, as if they just happened. I even remember the seating position in the theater of movies I watched as a kid. At the same time I'm able to forget everything else just as easily. Don't know if QT falls in this category or he truly got a remarkable memory about everything.
My dad took me when I was about ten … no doubt he thought it was going to be a zany affair, like Bananas, say. I didn’t really get it, and felt a little uncomfortable watching it with him. When I saw it the next time, as a young adult, I did realize how good it was. I've probably seen it a dozen times over the years, and would still watch it again
Quentin Tarantino on Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)?
I don't think so.
How about Quentin Tarantino on Ant Man 2… why doesn’t he review a real movie for a change
I think it was either Siskel or Ebert gave the movie a thumbs-down initially because it wasn't funny in the traditional Woody Allen manner. Later, perhaps months or even a year or so later, they had a "revisit" of the movie, and they changed their tune.
A UK review of Love And Death, Allen's previous movie, read, "I have a feeling that one of these days Woody Allen will get it most dreadfully together and make a film which is more than a string of funny one liners and set pieces." Well, that feeling was spot on! The gap in ambition, content and style between Love And Death and Annie Hall is one heck of a leap. You get the sense that an artist has finally learned - or dared - how to be fully himself.
I consider Love & Death to be one of his very best though
@@rockinresurrection6542 To die before the harvest. The crops, the grains, fields of rippling wheat. Wheat. All there is in life is wheat. Oh, wheat! Lots of wheat! Fields of wheat! A tremendous amount of wheat. Yellow wheat. Red wheat. Wheat with feathers. Cream of wheat...
Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction are non-linear, like Annie Hall. The difference, I think, is that you don’t truly realize it in AH until it’s over. It’s much more subtle and seamless.
true!! QT must be one of the most overrated directors out there
0:05 - Sigourney Weaver
"They are twins. Think of the possibilities." - Took me 15 years to realize that line is about the 2 men, not the date chicks.
He was affected by this film, but interestingly, this is the least "affected" I have ever heard Tarantino when he has spoken about film. Maybe it's just him feeling a bit melancholy- the feeling he recalled having years ago, and maybe is having- that is tempering his usually exuberant personality.
Annie Hall obviously wasn't an influence on Tarantino because he never made a film that dealt with relationships on such a personal and intimate level.
You do have to wonder if the complete non-linear nature of Annie Hall left an impression.
Hmmmm…
Defo'
@@mackychloeNo it didn't. The going out of order approach was tarantino copying the killing when he made reservoir dogs.
Yo, Tarantino, he was just 14
When his parents made a very strange machine
🎉… How many viewers get it ? … someone asks … true. I got the story, but my thing was corny English-dubbed Japanese horror movies. And daylight movies in a stand alone theater by yourself and then riding home on your own bike and nobody at home really knew or cared. Fine with me!
Yeah but Crimes and Misdemeanors is his one true masterpiece.
Big Woody Allen fan and he has made so many great movies but I was never that into Annie Hall. It's decent but I never thought it was this masterpiece like so many others do.
What are your favorites?

" ...and saw an Hall " . Bravo, bravo for your subtitling technology, UA-cam. 😂 But don't worry, you are the best when it comes to censorship.
Woody Allen will be appreciated again posthumously. Who knows if he really abused his step daughter.
الفيلم حلو، لكن ما فيه شيء ساحر يضرب أعماق روحك مثل فيلم Lost In Translation أو Rushmore.
فيه سينما أو نوع من الفن لشدة جماله تراه يعزز فيك الرغبة في التلاشي، أو قل الإنتحار، لا يهم كيف أعبّر عن هذه الحال، ستعرفها بالخبرة والتجربة، وبالحس الذاتي. راجع إن شئت: Fade Into You أو apocalypse وحتى Ravel Bolero.
“Pulp Fiction” is Tarantino’s “Annie Hall” and Marshall Brickman is to Woody Allen as Roger Avary is to Tarantino.
I would class Annie Hall as an entertaining, well-made movie, nothing more, nothing less. His relationship problems didn't hold my interest.
I think I saw Fahrenheit 9/11 there
It's a shame that Woody Allen aged so horribly.
You mean his works? Or his appearance?
Soooo,QT was "having a private moment with Annie Hall"......😉
Wow! He didn't even tell his mom he was going to watch Annie Hall! What a rebel!
It certainly has it's virtues, but 47 years later I must say I find "Annie Hall" kind of overrated. It's neither funny, nor moving enough, to call Allen's masterpiece, and Diane Keaton's been better, too.
Annie hall is a good movie, should it have beaten the Star Wars for best picture? No but it's still a good movie.
I could never buy Woody Allen being a romantic leading man to any of his pairings in all of his dramatic movies. Might have worked in his screwball comedies but not in his more grounded work. Just took me right out. Just too ridiculous.
it's not that weird when you realize he and Diane Keaton were a real life couple for a year, about 10 years before the film.
Arthur Miller was married to Marilyn Monroe. Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley. Beyonce and Jay-Z. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony.
Woody Allen was actually very popular with women back then. He's smart, he's funny, and he's rich. Some women wanted a macho, tough guy (like Clint Eastwood), and some wanted a sensitive, thoughtful guy (like Woody Allen). It's really not that weird, actually.
wow what a story. So he saw a movie and went home.
You just don’t get it. Oh well.
you just don't get it, man.
You're forgetting the most interesting part of the story,he rode a bike to and from the theater.
