Для цитат и диалогов из этого фильма сделал отдельный пост. Its amazing!




I was in analysis. I was suicidal as a matter of fact and would have killed myself,
but I was in analysis with a strict Freudian, and, if you kill yourself, they make you pay for the sessions you miss.

Alvy Singer: [addressing the camera]
There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says,
"Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions."
Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness,
and it's all over much too quickly

That sex was the most fun I've ever had without laughing.

[In California]
Annie Hall: It's so clean out here.
Alvy Singer: That's because they don't throw their garbage away, they turn it into television shows.

Alvy Singer: What's with all these awards? They're always giving out awards. Best Fascist Dictator: Adolf Hitler.

Annie Hall: Sometimes I ask myself how I'd stand up under torture.
Alvy Singer: You? You kiddin'? If the Gestapo would take away your Bloomingdale's charge card, you'd tell 'em everything.

Alvy Singer: A relationship, I think, is like a shark. You know? It has to constantly move forward or it dies.
And I think what we got on our hands is a dead shark.

Alvy Singer: Love is too weak a word for what I feel - I luuurve you, you know, I loave you, I luff you, two F's, yes I have to invent, of course I - I do, don't you think I do?

[Annie wants to smoke marijuana before sex]
Alvy Singer: Yeah, grass, right? The illusion that it will make a white woman more like Billie Holiday.
Annie Hall: Well, have you ever made love high?
Alvy Singer: Me? No. I - I, you know, If I have grass or alcohol or anything, I get unbearably wonderful. I get too, too wonderful for words. I don't know why you have to get high every time we make love.
Annie Hall: It relaxes me.
Alvy Singer: You have to be artificially relaxed before we can go to bed?
Annie Hall: Well, what's the difference anyway?
Alvy Singer: Well, I'll give you a shot of sodium pentathol. You can sleep through it.

Alvy Singer: It's mental masturbation!
Annie Hall: And you would know all about THAT, wouldn't you?
Alvy Singer: Hey, don't knock masturbation! It's sex with someone I love.

Alvy Singer: I remember the staff at our public school. You know, we had a saying, uh, that those who can't do teach, and those who can't teach, teach gym. And, uh, those who couldn't do anything, I think, were assigned to our school.

Alvy Singer: Sun is bad for you. Everything our parents said was good is bad. Sun, milk, red meat... college.

Alvy Singer: [glum] You're an actor, Max. You should be doing Shakespeare in the Park.
Rob: Oh, I did Shakespeare in the Park, Max. I got mugged. I was playing Richard the Second and two guys with leather jackets stole my leotard.

Alvy Singer: I feel that life is divided into the horrible and the miserable. That's the two categories. The horrible are like, I don't know, terminal cases, you know, and blind people, crippled. I don't know how they get through life. It's amazing to me. And the miserable is everyone else. So you should be thankful that you're miserable, because that's very lucky, to be miserable.

Просматривая новые, смотрю и свои любимые.
Именно с "Энни Холл" проявился традиционный стиль Вуди Аллена.
До этого он старался насмешить публику, что получалось у него хорошо.
Но на этот раз он пожертвовал некоторыми смешками, и снял фильм про людей в первую очередь.
Юмор не пропал, а стал частью повседневной жизни героев, as well as ours.



Though based primarily on Woody Allen's real-life relationship with Diane Keaton,
the fact that Annie Hall comes from Chippewa Falls, Wisc. likely was inspired by Allen's past relationship
with folk singer Judy Henske, who was born in Chippea Falls, while Keaton was born in Los Angeles.

читать дальшеThe first scene shot was the lobster scene.

Annie's outfits, which caused a brief fashion rage, were Diane Keaton's own clothes.

In the scene where Alvy questions people on the street about what makes a relationship,
a large crowd can be seen in the background watching the filming.

The scene where Alvy and Annie are at their psychiatrists, which looks like a split screen scene, was actually shot simultaneously on one set with an adjoining wall.

When Annie finally comes to the theater Alvy's been waiting outside of for her, he says "I'm standing here with the cast of The Godfather."
Rick Petrucelli, the actor who plays Ralph, was an uncredited extra in Крёстный отец.


Alvy's (Woody Allen's) sneezing into the cocaine was an unscripted accident.
When previewed, the audience laughed so loud that director Allen decided to leave it in,
and had to add footage to compensate for people missing the next few jokes from laughing too much.

Woody Allen originally envisioned this movie as a murder mystery, with a subplot about a romance.
During sсript revisions, Allen decided to drop the murder plot,
which he and Marshall Brickman later revitalized in Manhattan Murder Mystery.

During the lobster-cooking scene Annie runs and retrieves a camera to take pictures of Alvy dealing with the crustaceans.
Later, when Alvy runs over to Annie's house to smash a spider, the series of photos Annie took is on the wall in the background.

Diane Keaton's real name is Diane Hall and her nickname is Annie.

Sigourney Weaver's screen debut, in a non-speaking part as Alvy's date near the end of the movie.

The jokes that Woody Allen tells in front of the audience at the University of Wisconsin
and on The Dick Cavett Show are from his stand-up comic days.

The film's working title was "Anhedonia" - the inability to feel pleasure.
United Artists fought against it (among other things, they were unable to come up with an ad campaign that explained the meaning of the word)
and Woody Allen compromised on naming the film after the central character three weeks before the film's premiere.
Other titles suggested were "It Had to Be Jew", "A Rollercoaster Named Desire", and "Me and My Goy".

The passerby Alvy refers to as "the winner of the Truman Capote look-alike contest" is in fact Truman Capote, who appears uncredited.

The movie's line "Hey, don't knock masturbation - it's sex with someone I love!" was voted as the #78 of "The 100 Greatest Movie Lines" by Premiere in 2007.

An early appearance by Jeff Goldblum playing the party guest who "forgot his mantra".

Мы должны сжечь продовольствие, чтобы оно не досталось французам.
Но вот поджечь борщ будет не так просто.



читать дальшеThe wheat scene with towards the end of the film is a direct visual parody of Ingmar Bergman's classic Персона.
The juxtaposition of faces is an homage to Bergman's trademark shots.

The soundtrack was originally scored with the music of Igor Stravinsky, but Woody Allen thought it made the scenes "unfunny".
He discovered Sergei Prokofiev's lighthearted music worked far better.

The shots of the lion statues edited into the love scene between Boris and the Countess,
and the shot of the soldier being shot in the eye through his glasses are parodies of similar statues in Bronenosets Potyomkin,
shown during the Odessa Steps massacre scene.

When Woody Allen leaves for the army, he is shown carrying preserved butterflies
and a butterfly net as homage to Russian-born author Vladimir Nabokov.

Filmed mainly in Hungary, with some scenes done in Paris.
It wouldn't be until 1996 and Everyone Says I Love You that Woody Allen would make another film outside of the New York area.

The philosophical "babble" between the characters (e.g. "subjectivity is objective" actually comes from the writing of
Russian philosophers G.I. Gurdjieff and P.D. Ouspensky, as does the title "Love and Death".

When Boris' father visits him in his prison cell, near the end of the movie, he tells him about Raskolnikov
killing two women and about getting told by the brothers Karamazov.
Rodion Raskolnikov is the protagonist in Fyodor Dostoevsky's classic "Crime and Punishment",
in which he murders two women and does not know how to deal with the moral consequences afterwards.
"The Brothers Karamazov" is another epic book by the same Russian writer.
The dialogue also evokes "The Possessed", "Raw Youth", "The Idiot", "The Insulted and Injured"
(usually "The Insulted and Humiliated", "The Gambler", "The Double", "Bobok", all of them novels by Dostoyevsky.

Woody Allen was so concerned about the quality of Budapest's food that he consumed only canned food
and bottled water that he had brought with him from America.
As a result, Allen was one of the few of his movie's cast and crew who did not suffer dysentery while filming.

Последние дни чувствую себя очень подавленно.
Люди, которых я вижу каждый день, печалят своей пустотой, убогостью и несообразительностью.
Хотя вот сегодня поговорила со своими друзьями, теми, кто действительно ими является для меня.
Я никогда не бросаюсь просто так словами.
И как-то полегче стало. Удивительно.

Но всё еще пока немного нелегко на душе.

Сегодня 8 марта. Хорошие люди написали добрые слова, удивили честно. Было приятно.
Но а те, кто каждый день удивляют своей невежливостью - well ... to hell with them.

Вооот. Смотрю сейчас "Служебный роман" замечательного, моего любимого режиссера Эльдара Рязанова. Вот это ж с праздником!

In an interview, Woody Allen was asked why he named the movie "Bananas".
His response: "Because there are no bananas in it."

Woody Allen said he made a conscious decision not to show any blood to maintain the light, farcical tone of the film.

A very young Sylvester Stallone appears in the subway scene playing a hoodlum with another youngster.

Искала сейчас себе издание Brideshead Revisited. дурацкие обложки везде.
Только вот винтажные парочку понравились, но где их найдешь, если ты живешь не в Украине и здесь нет таких чудесных сэконд-хэндов.
Да еще если ты любишь никем не использованные до тебя книги?
Нашла вот такую красоту 2012 года выпуска.
В наших магазинах стоит больше 1000 рублей. А за границей меньше 400 рублей. Офигеть.
Легче в Англию съездить, дешевле будет. Планирую, кстати, летом.

First screen teaming of Woody Allen and Diane Keaton.

Originally to be shot in Manhattan and Long Island but moved to San Francisco
when New York film workers went on strike in the summer of 1971.

Второй из трех совместных фильмов режиссера Джима Шеридана и Дэниела Дэй-Льюиса.
Один из таких фильмов, которые после своего просмотра делят твою жизнь на до и после.
Я отчетливо помню, что впервые смотрела этот фильм университете , на нетбуке,
прогуливая пару, найдя себе свободную от людей аудиторию.
Фильм захватил меня с первых же кадров. Я была просто поражена. Как и сейчас.
Эта история невероятна. Как и было сказано в фильме, если её придумать и рассказать, никто и не поверит.
Фильм просто охрененный! Актеры - no words necessary!



In real life Gerry and Giuseppe did not share a cell in prison.

Gabriel Byrne had purchased the rights to Gerry Conlon's book "Proved Innocent" and had intended to play Gerry himself
but decided to let Daniel Day-Lewis play the part and just serve as executive producer instead.

Daniel Day-Lewis kept his Northern Irish accent on and off the set for the entire shooting schedule.

In preparation for his role, Daniel Day-Lewis lost 30 pounds and spent nights in the jail cell
on the set as crew members threw water and verbal abuse at him.
