What If Life Were Like A Woody Allen Movie?
Jul 29 2012

To Rome With Love is a typical Woody Allen movie with unusual scenes and unexpected turns of events.  His movies are usually intellectual and strangely disturbing and/or alluring.   In his movies (unlike in real life), people seem to shrug their shoulders if they can’t make sense of what’s happening and move on without an intense amount of guilt for lying, cheating, or stealing.  They don’t stay angry even if they were hurt or betrayed by someone else, well most times they don’t know they have been betrayed.  Midnight in Paris was similar in style and yearning.  He attracts a star studded cast and makes them act in his trademark style.

Woody is often noted as being “ahead of his time.”  If we can laugh at our human foibles like we do at the characters in his movies, then I do hope he’s reached his time and we have the opportunity to sing in public as well as we do in the shower. 🙂

    My favorite Woody Allen movie is still and will always be “Annie Hall”. I think it does reflect the complexities, humor and tragedies of love and life. Love is exactly like the story Woody Allen told about his brother and the eggs towards the end.

    @Reese – I still need to see Annie Hall. This is a good reminder that I should rent it. Sometimes I feel as if I have been living the life of a character in a Woody Allen movie without knowing it. 🙂
