On his looks, "I started out bad so anything that happens registers as an improvement" 😂😂😂😂 the one liners just spill out of this guy like water from a tap
Of all his films, one stands out that shows his genius. That is Midnight in Paris. Going back in time though different epochs and jumping back and forth from the past to the present; incredible imagination! !!
He has a hard time admitting he plays himself in the movies. In most of his interviews he talks about how he is obsessed with death and he feels it is all worthless because we will all die anyway and that is exactly what he talks about in Annie Hall and many other movies.
The one thing that I haven’t heard discussed about Woody Allen is how intelligent and well read he is. I definitely picked up on what I perceive as his intelligence in this interview. He is certainly a comedic genius - I can’t think of a writer/director/actor who has had me convulsed in laughter as many times as Woody Allen. He found his passion and pursued it to great success in his life.
I just finished watching Annie Hall and I thought it was great. Woody Allen is an amazing director and writer and comedian and actor. His films really know how to show that love and life can be a little neurotic and that's okay. I think he's a genius and I know he'll be directing until he dies.
Matthew Hayhow Seth MacFarlane, Edgar Wright, David O. Russell, Paul Thomas Anderson, Dan Harmon, Greta Gerwig, Jon Lovitz, Ricky Gervais, Garry Shandling, Stephen Merchant, David Blaine, so many more. It's incalcuable.
and who cares if he married his ex-girlfriend's daughter, whatever. He is apparently happily married, he and Soon-Yi dote on each other, what's the crime? He can write, act, direct, and his comic timing is flawless. People have been trying to beat him over the head with the marriage for years, and he STILL makes great films. He's made me laugh for the better part of 45 years, he is a NY icon. Watch the film clip he did at the Oscars in 2002, it was brilliant.
I think I need an app stapled to my head to keep me from reading comments about Woody Allen. Other than that, his work ethic is marvelous. He doesn't say...Well, I started watching you tube till 4 in the morning...
"I don't go home because Mia can be and has been violent toward me. I will not go into details, but her treatment of me was hardly maternal, even given our current problems. She is not who she pretends to be, certainly not the kind of mother ((people think)), and while my brothers and sisters are still dependent on her, they will say things and pretend to feelings I know full well not to be true." - Soon-Yi Previn
Marios Panagi That speaks to the legality of his marriage to Soon-Yi, not the moral permissibility. I very much consider my mother's partner a father and I met him when I was 14, not nine.
I think Marios Panagi means that Mia Farrow and Woody Allen never lived under the same roof. Mia had something like 10 children of her own (including Soon-Yi), who Woody almost never spoke to. Woody was only concerned with the children he had with Mia. Even Mia admits this herself. She even is the one who suggested Woody to go out with Soon-Yi in order to know her better, since they barely even spoke. Soon-Yi was an adult then, and that is when they fell in love. The only thing I think Woody is guilty of, is that he should have left Mia way sooner before starting to get too close with Soon-Yi. That being said, if you want to complain about a pedophile, let's talk about Roman Polanski.
Love Woody Allen. "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. I can’t guarantee a child anything. I can’t guarantee that I was around five minutes after he or she was born." -- Woody Allen
Listen, leave the man alone, and I'm sick of seeing youtubers insulting pretty much every actor on youtube...Woody is a gentle guy, from all my reading and watching of his films...he's far from perfect and so aren't we all....give basic respect to people despite things they may have done wrong.
He's a dream director for actors and the film crew. He shoots in one place usually, wraps every day by 5 or 6pm, lets actors alone, and lets the crew have a life. The films all make their costs back, and everyone's happy. Seems okay to me.
Q - How is it that Woody Allen just get's better and better lokkin the older he get's? W - Well, it's nice of her to say that, uuum, you know, i probably started very bad when i was younger, and anything that happens is registered as an improvement. ------------------------------- Even his interviews are full of the type of lines that find their way into the characters mouth's in the movies :) Love this Man!!!!
true... he went off and talked about how he doesn't feel he's influenced anyone in movies.. not the question at all. too bad.. maybe he didn't hear it right.
I took a class about his films... literally changed my life for the better! It made me learn about women, love, and most important of all, myself. Live long and Prosper, Mr. Allen, so that I can watch more of your movies. :)
He has created a whole new genre from the basic drama movies, he's done his own thing for nearly 40 years now and he's the best at making these kind of movies. His dialogue and characters are quite unique compared to others. If someone says he hasn't done anything special or revolutinary in the film industry, then they just don't know what he's done. If he hadn't done anything special, the big movie stars wouldn't want to be in his films for super little money compared to their normal salaries.
@EMariaJ It is shocking. His films are excellent. Great writer and director. I just saw his new film You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger today and it was so wonderful.
the saddess thing is that Woody Allen doesn't appreciate how great he is and how much influential he was in Cinema.. he could have been as big as Spielberg and Coppola now. great producers. he is so respected that he could have made big money out of his talent. instead he chose a low-profile life, a really low low-profile life
Woody is a very talented clarinet-player as well. He s h o u l d work together with Martin Schmidt-Hahn, northern Germany s Hamburg- clarinet - genious in old-time-jazz. They could create a marvellous type of version in old-time-jazz together
@joshbe4 No, her adoptive father is and always has been Andre Previn. Previn and Farrow adopted Soon Yi when she was 8, not when she was "a baby". Woody was Soon Yi's adoptive mother's boyfriend, and Soon Yi has asserted that Woody was never a father figure to her. The two remain married to this day.
I stand corrected, Nora Ephron made the film he introduced at the 2002 Oscars, and you may notice, if you care to watch, the standing ovation he received when he walked on the stage. His delivery of this clip is vintage Woody; self-depracating and very funny, at a time when New Yorker's needed a laugh. If you want to dwell on his personal life, and actually accuse him of a sham marriage to save face for some crime he didn't commit, then you have missed the boat, and your ignorance is obvious.
"To think that Woody was in any way a father or stepfather to me is laughable. My parents are Andre Previn and Mia, but obviously they're not even my real parents... I was never remotely close to Woody. He was someone who was devoted exclusively to his own children and to his work, and we never spent a moment together. We rarely ever spoke, and were polite but uninterested in one another. The fact is I really had no interest in knowing him better, nor he me." - Soon-Yi Previn
@coloradoflier yeah, so the professor talks for about an hour in the beginning of the class, then we watch a movie (WA's movie generally runs ~95mins average) and he comes back up to hold a class discussion. He lets everyone say anything, and reply his thought & expertise to that opinion. He's really good at leading this conversation, even if someone says something completely random/sometimes silly, he would add something into make that argument more valid. Only at UCSD! :D
Great questions for and great answers -not least regarding his alleged neuroticism- from one of the all-time great artists, who manages to make it all look so easy and natural.
I'm haven't said he's a genius. I just think he's a master at what he's done and he's done some of the best dramas there is (Manhattan, Annie Hall, Hannah and Her Sisters) and here's some reason why I think he's unique when compared to majority of other directors and why he compeals to me especially with this type of movies... ->
I like the way Woody has convinced himself he's not neurotic. We all live in our own model of self delusion, it's our mechanism for coping with the basic grim reality of life and death.
We have freedom to say what we please and we were given that freedom by our fathers, other countries can not even say or do anything unless they are told, if they refuse they have to face punishment, people come here for a better life, we need to appreciate what we have, my family came here cause they believed in America and love it, you have a right to believe what you like that's your freedom thank this country for it. because there is someone out there who would love to trade places with you
@ClaireLe: Mia just could not stop adopting children. She sought psychological as well as pyschotropic medications for this proclivity/compulsion. When Woody retired for the evening, there was usually a new adoptee in the bed. Fortunately, Soon-Yi Previn could talk, a capacity that Ms. Farrow was then working on.
@coloradoflier its TDGE122. Basically, it is once a week lecture for 3 hours. The professor will talk about variables/factors that consist of Woody Allen's movies. Screenplay, theme, cinematography, casting, music, WA's personal life, etc which affect the way he makes his movies. Then there are 3 essays due, 2 midterm papers and 1 final research paper. For the midterm papers - You focus on one theme (WA has many, such as psychotherapy, love vs. sex, morality, God is dead, etc)
YES!!! The same occurred to me! And that's amazing, right? I mean... To Rome With Love is - for me - much more...exciting. And before this interview i already had enjoyed the movie.
"outside of the shower I start to have some problems with reality..!" i´m in tears.
Woody's art makes life better! Thanks, Woody! We love you!
Great interview!! Cannot imagine my life without Woody Allen!!
he's a creep
I was thinking the same when I finished the book Woody Allen on Woody Allen by Stig Bjorkman. He makes beautiful films!

"middle class, blue collar, beer-drinking, television tee shirt jerk at home."

I'm that minus the beer and jerk. I gave up booze in early 2020.
This guy is not only a comedic genius, but simply, a genius.
too many, commas
@@EnergyNadaHe married her when she was 27. Try again.
I like how real he is in this interview.
And how he breaks his comedic style and how he’s not like the characters he plays in films.
I just love him and everything he does. He is a total genius.
His opinion about life is so inspiration
Especially dealing with noise in the world.
We love you, Woody! You're the greatest! #WeLoveWoodyAllen

The one thing that I haven’t heard discussed about Woody Allen is how intelligent and well read he is.

He's a great filmmaker.
Thats true
Great man. So humble and genuine. True inspiration. Lack of self importance is a great quality to learn early in life.
Love this man. If I could be any filmmaker it'd be him.
Woody Allen is a great director, writer, and person.
He'll live to be 100!!!
This man has brought so much laughter into this world in both film and literature, it would be hard to imagine a comedic life without him!
Match Point will always be my favorite Woody Allen movie.
Thank you so much, Woody Allen is a genious and some Americans are too mediocre to see the greatness of this wonderful mind. And so funny!
You won't find a more prolific artist than Woody Allen. His body of work is astounding.
what a sweetheart. i love this man. f'real.
One of the great filmmakers in movie history. Reached the level of Bergman, Tarkovsky, Antonioni and even Godard. An absolute genius.
Brilliant man, genius!
"Frank didn't care much for reality, but he knew it was about the only place you could get a good steak."
Woody Allen is awesome!🤗
"Outside of the shower, I start to have some problems with reality."
Woody Allen is awesome, he is SIMPLY the BEST 💛⚘️
he's so charming and funny
Weird he thinks he's had no influence, I think Allen had a huge impact on Jerry Seinfeld, Louis CK and Noah Baumbach, to name a few
+Matthew Hayhow to name a jew lol
Matthew Hayhow Chris Rock sites Woody as the greatest!! And Woody loves Chris too.
@Matthew Hayhow- He also had a huge impact on he daughter. Woody Allen ruined her life by raping her when she was 7 years old.
Matthew Hayhow Seth MacFarlane, Edgar Wright, David O. Russell, Paul Thomas Anderson, Dan Harmon, Greta Gerwig, Jon Lovitz, Ricky Gervais, Garry Shandling, Stephen Merchant, David Blaine, so many more. It's incalcuable.

@Nester Beauregard - By calling Woody Allen a great man, are you referring to when he raped his 7 year old daughter?
First Last why are you even watching this video? lol
@@FirstLast-nh6go it seems you have more information that the Justice. Share with us.
