CLIP DESCRIPTION:
While stuck in line at the movies, Alvy (Woody Allen) grows frustrated listening to the intellectual opinions of the man behind him.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Woody Allen's romantic comedy of the Me Decade follows the up and down relationship of two mismatched New York neurotics. Jewish comedy writer Alvy Singer (Allen) ponders the modern quest for love and his past romance with tightly-wound WASP singer Annie Hall (Diane Keaton, ne Diane Hall). The twice-divorced Alvy knows that it's not easy to find a mate when the options include pretentious New York intellectuals and lifestyle-obsessed Rolling Stone writers, but la-di-dah-ing Annie seems different. Along the rocky road of their coupling, Allen/Alvy weigh in on such topics as endless therapy, movies vs. TV, the absurdity of dating rituals, anti-Semitism, drugs, and, in one of the best set pieces, repressed Midwestern WASP insanity vs. crazy Brooklyn Jewish boisterousness. Annie wants to move to Los Angeles to find that fame that finally does in the relationship -- but not before Alvy gets in a few digs at vacuous, mantra-fixated California. Originally entitled Anhedonia (the inability to enjoy oneself), Annie Hall blended the slapstick and fantasy from such earlier Allen films as Sleeper (1973) and Bananas (1971) with the more autobiographical musings of his stand-up and written comedy, using an array of such movie techniques as talking heads, splitscreens, and subtitles. Within these gleeful formal experiments and sight gags, Allen and co-writer Marshall Brickman skewered 1970s solipsism, reversing the happy marriage of opposites found in classic screwball comedies. Hailed as Allen's most mature and personal film, Annie Hall beat out Star Wars for Best Picture and also won Oscars for Allen as director and writer and for Keaton as Best Actress; audiences enthusiastically responded to Allen's take on contemporary love and turned Keaton's rumpled menswear into a fashion trend.

It's one thing for the main character to break the fourth wall regularly. It's another thing when a complete stranger shows up and shatters it further at the same time!
@Ralph Macchiato ๅๅๅๅการๅๅการๅๅๅๅการๅๅๅๅๅๅๅๅๅๅๅๅๅๅๅๅๅ
Thomas, sir: This is not the fourth wall: They are all performers, he is not from the audience.
Not very many people could make that work.
Yeap! Woody Allen at his BEST! 😉
The sitcom Gimme A Break did it. They were way ahead of their time.
43-43 years later and I still laugh out loud as this scene builds up. One of my favorite comedy scenes of all time.
Watched everything-Woody 100 times apiece decades back.
@@josephkelley8641 Me too. And I still watch his films. They're brilliant and timeless.
@josephkelley8641: So did I. - until it came out that he had taken pornographic pictures of his stepdaughter. That totally turned me off from Woody Allen.
You've got to be kidding me?
@tarstarkusz: In case you didn’t explore this. She was the step child of Mia Farrow who Woody Allen married. I’m pretty sure remembering Mia Farrow being horrified when finding the photos. - and Woody Allen ended up marrying his stepdaughter. - and they have been together ever since. Quite a long time.
I think Annie Hall got the most awards and made the most money of all his films. It was one of those bolts of lightning where he was maturing to making a bittersweet comedy, and the audience was totally ready for that kind of film.
Woody means a lot to me.
This was going to be another silly one like "Bananas" or "Take the Money and Run" but his editor (believe it's Wendy Greene Bricmont) saw the poignancy in some of the scenes and they cut it to emphasize the drama while keeping all the best comedic bits.
Brilliantly creative scene - justified the Best Film Oscar by itself.
If life were only like this indeed.
Woody would ,of course, not agree with you.
Here let me go get him…
@@booberminfranklin3652 LOL.
What is even more incredible about this piece of comic genius is... it was all one take!
Watch Birdman or Tony Jaa's The Protector pagoda scene for one take mastery.
@@Revelian1982and Stalker is sheer brilliance
@@Revelian1982 I checked out both of the scenes you referenced. Meh! This Annie Hall scene right here, is on a whole other level.
@Picklejam08 Did you? Cool. Oh, well. At least you actually went and did it, then provided feedback. Most people would have just dismissed my recommendations out of hand. Kudos to you.
It's actually a more efficient and economical way to shoot a scene. But, you do have to have confidence in your material because you have few options to cut lines or change pacing.
How you got to teach a course in anything is totally amazing!
So glad my Rhetoric teacher mentioned this film in her lecture on McLuhan. Never heard of this before, but I could barely hold it together watching this scene. Absolutely hilarious.
Funny all of the people lighting-up in line. Having a quick smoke
before they go in.
I'm Glad this movie is in the national archives. It is truly a treasure.
I love how this scene makes fun of pretentious New York intellectuals
At one point they talk about Federico Fellini and some of his films. Fellini himself was originally supposed to appear in this scene instead of McLuhan.
That would have been 'magnifico'.
Just priceless ! I have never ever forgotten this scene from the first time that I saw it. How many times in your life have you wanted to be able to do something just like THIS ?! HA !!!!
This is the best Woody Allen film
Agree
"He's spitting on my neck." Lolol
This is one of those scenes that I'd love to have seen in the theater when it came out... people must have roared at the end.
They did, I was there.
it pretty well set everybody free
I was in the "business" long ago and screened this in three places. In NYC they chuckled. In Hollywood they laughed. In Denver they didn't get it. (but all three cities laughed at the cocaine scene)
Yes, we sure did.
@@doncallangher6177Thanks. Interesting info❤
This scene, not the famous opening scene, in my opinion is one of the best scenes in Annie Hall. What makes the humour so subtle is that Woody,in a way, is parodying himself. He complains that the other guy is screaming opinions in his ears, although he happens to be doing the same thing. remember how the two ladies, (with woody and the other guy) could barely say anything in the conversation, as both these men are continuously obsessed about their feelings. Later, when the two indulge in a conversation, it becomes about who is more familiar with the filmmaker's works, reflecting their sense of self-importance
What's really hammers that point is the guy even resembles Woody. Great stuff.
oh yeah? you think that's what this scene was about? well I happen to have Mr. Allen right here: "you know nothing of my work."
a.k.a. egoTists.
@@uberneanderthal atleast im not the one teaching a course on woody
Not a filmmaker but a media theorist 🥲
Still an absolute masterpiece ❤
We all have that person who is trying to act smart.
How is he trying to act smart?
Poxow - constantly talking about “high-brow stuff” with really abstract blowhard phrases, with a weird tone like they’re giving a public speech. I had a few friends like that in college, mostly they were actors and self-appointed “poets.”
@@TheWelchProductions that's how ☝🏾
@@TheWelchProductions Bragging loudly about writers,directors,science so that people gathered there would think about him as an intellectual.
@@paulatreides6218 Like in Good Will Hunting....
I like how McLuhan is paraded out while trying to keep a straight face and delivered his lines in a tone so humble and unassuming, yet forceful at the same time.
McLuhan actually blew his line, but Woody kept it in for some reason.
2 of my heroes together!
When he steps out of the line Diane is laughing.
She also looks gorgeous in this scene.
Sorry... but look again. She does not smile or laugh at all. (not that it;s all that important).
Such a talented guy, Woody Allen.
1:39 I like the lady right behind Woody, who manages to keep the most deadpan face the entire skit - with the one exception of the slightest "sigh" at 1:39 .. but that's as far as she goes off pan!
Gosh this scene is flawless
For those interested, the actor playing the man in line is Russell Horton, you can enjoy his fine voice in several CBS Mystery Theater episodes, The Black Door is one of them.
He's also a Twilight Zone alum.
@@johnbowman1076he's also in The Scary Door.
Sorry, the reference was perfectly set up.
He also took over the voice of the tricks rabbit
Brilliant scene. Bravo, stands the test of time.
That scene never gets old. 🤣👍
Woody's usage of some type of fantasy is very subtle. Woody defuses their relationship squabbles with this moment of hilarity.
Woody writes, directs, produces and acts in his films. He also plays a respectable clarinet in his jazz band. A great artist.
The professor leans on his credentials to win an argument.
"How you got to teach a course in anything is totally amazing!" (Woody's words going through the artist, in his fantasy)
Such a funny moment in a lovely film
A great scene. Feels like social media! 😆
0:54 I think the guy behind Woody brushed against his radio mic.
I had finally gotten to see 'Annie Hall' in a film class for a humanity grade- Family Guy interweaves everything that is hilarious, smart and otherwise amusing! LOL!
I had a school teacher tell me he watched this clip and didn't find it funny. My reply was, "you know nothing of Woody Allen's work. you mean his whole comedy approach is wrong. How you got to teach a course in anything is totally amazing."
Nice !!!
😄
Whoa, what a meta-gut punch!
I'm a teacher and I constantly fear that this will happen to me
r/theneveryoneclapped
I was 15 when I first saw this, when it it was new. It blew me away when he walks out and talks to the camera. It simply wasn't done then. Still catches me by surprise.
Looks like Marshall McLuhan couldn't keep from cracking up right after he delivered his lines.
It is honestly super impressive that in a long single take they had the non-professional actor do the button at the very end. I wonder if they had to do this several times. You never know when a non pro will flub or have bad timing but this whole scene was just so smooth and built up beautifully
Actually McLuhan did flub his line, but Woody kept it in for some reason.
@@davidsheriff9274What line?
@johnp515 McLuhan says to the man"I heard what you are saying, you know nothing of my work, you mean my whole fallacy is wrong". That doesn't make sense,why would Marshall McLuhan refer to his own work as a fallacy? Woody would not have written that for him to say.Woody probably wrote"theory" or "hypothesis" or something like that and McLuhan said fallacy by mistake, and Woody let it go for some reason, I can't think of any other explanation.
Annie Hall and Hannah and Her Sisters are like bookends.
This is Tops but ‘Hannah and her Sisters. Great rewatchable scenes. It is just as funny. My second fave Woody film.
Brilliant scene, love this movie.
Have seen it at least 50 times. First saw it in the theatre in 1977. Loved it then and to this day. I will continue to watch it as I grow older. It never gets old. Still as funny as ever.
At 1:13 I think Diane Keaton is reading her lines.
LOL
where? on the guy's back? like Brando on the Godfather?
i noticed that too.
I just realized that!
IT LOOKS LIKE SHE IS READING ON HER RIGHT SIDE BEHIND WOODY.
Deadpool's got nothing on this 4th wall break.
Simply, his best film.
I identify with Woody here. And my wife gets mad when I'm like this.
How I feel when most people talk in public.
The Woody Allen Cinematic Universe
Woody is a genius
Love this scene. Shame the cut at the end is about a second too early.
One of my favorite movie scenes of all time.
I think she looks really pretty, that Keaton girl
Her name is Diane
"What I wouldn't give for a large sock with horse manure in it..." The visual right there and then, if suddenly, Woody was holding such a sock, blinked toward the camera, and quickly released the sock... but I am no screen-writer - this scene is so delightfully relatable.
It's sadly even harder to do nowadays, R.I.P. Marshall McLuhan
Looks like he had a stroke 2 years after the movie and passed away a year later at 69.
Woody Allen has most Jewish voice I’ve ever heard
Not Bernie Sanders?
Its am Old School Brooklyn Accent. You just think that its Jewish,
I find it Old School ”Italianized” NY accent like Robert De Niro’s accent with my “foreign” ears!
I thought it was a Brooklyn accent too.
It's a fun accent.
I guess the medium is the message here. Whatever that means. Love this movie and Allen is a genius in film.
To this day i still quote the sock manure line when i am frustrated with an annoying person.
Juliet of the Spirits is not only my favourite Fellini film, it's in my Top 20
I found it... *indulgent*.
@@Gorboduc because you have no style
Only seen 8 1/2 but hope to see more.
@@daviedovey he was quoting the guy in the movie.
@@davidsheriff9274 I thought he was quoting Groucho Marx
If only life could be so perfect as to arguing with a pseudo-intellectual, having them passionately defend their point, then instantly crush their argument with an perfect response to their disguised nonsense. If this movie was filmed today Woody Allen would “drop the mic” .
At his best Woody Allen is the greatest comedian to ever live
I brought this up in a theatre class, where we happened to be discussing Samuel Beckett so that part felt really personal.
When they brought up Beckett, did you say 'what I wouldn't give for a large sock, filled with horse manure'. Lol.
"You mean my whole fallacy is wrong." 😂
I had a guy doing this at a major league ballgame recently... and he knew nothing about the game. It was making me crazy and my reaction was annoying my niece next to me. But it is like nails on a blackboard.
An ignorant guy pontificating behind me at a Mariners game tonight is exactly what brought me to this clip.
0:59 "It's like Samuel Beckett"........ (Woody's reaction)
😂😂😂SUCH A GREAT SCENE!!!!
And DK 's range of expressions, esp that thing with the eyes at 53sec.
I happen to teach a course at Columbia called TV, MEDIA, and CULTURE. Priceless.
In my opinion, Woody was always at his best when he broke film conventions and toyed with postmodernist ideas (early comedies, Annie Hall, Zelig, Deconstructing Harry, etc). This scene destroyed the fourth wall like a ballbreaker.
Mozart , James Joyce, and Sodomy !
I love how Woody Always describes people and things in threes with one of them Totally Not related.
That's right. James Joyce doesn't belong here.
@@turpeau2229 James Joyce is a spook
@@richarddavis8863 Spooky Scary James Joyce
Why not related?
@@vicinvesta8349 It’s part of Woodys comedy Shtick
Such a great scene!
Interesting trivia - the know it all Columbia Professor in this scene - was one of the students in one of Rod Serling’s best Twilight Zone Episodes titled “The Changing of The Guard”.
He was also the voice of the Trix rabbit.
@andyrose5616: Ha ! Did not know that.
Well, in times of Twitter life is exactly like this. I had a discussion with some guys about covid and rapid testing and suddenly commendable epidemiologist Michael Mina joined in to support my point of view :-D
Damn, Woody, I want to make a film like yours.
He was my inspiration, but I always preferred Love & Death
Wheat. Fields and fields of rippling wheat. Golden wheat. Cream of wheat.
I'm dead, and they're talking about wheat!
Every "i love movies" TH-cam channel
fourth-wall breaks are the most obnoxious and over-used thing in modern media (though there's several contenders for that crown).
but it works in this scene because the joke is that Woody Allen is such a neurotic narcissist that even though he's the writer, director and lead actor, and therefore constructed every aspect of this scene to be in his favor, he still needed to stop the movie and directly address the audience to make **sure** that they were on his side, even using his directorial powers to summon the subject of their argument to also side with him. this scene was the birth of meta-irony
He also did it at the dinner scene with Annie's family.
Woody has been gracing us with his genius for decades and the cowards at Hachette should be ashamed of themselves but without a conscience that’s impossible.
Those same people had no issue publishing books by a war criminal and a guy once charged with sexual battery the previous year but as soon as their idol Ronan got upset they were all up in arms, embarrassing stuff all round
So relatable when going to college for writing and literature.
Very relatable!
"Whoever wrote this this doesn't know the first thing about Kurt Vonnegut."- "Back to School"
Fellini was supposed to do this, not McLuhan. But he changed his mind because of all the time travelling for a 10-second appearance.
Is anyone else here not surprised when the guy lights a cigarette and nobody flips out? We are OLD! : )
1977 What do you expect?
People smoked in movie theater auditoriums back then, AND in the lobby such as we see here!
His daughters come forward during the movie & say how they really feel “ oh if life was really like this “
St Johnsbury trailer… wow what a flashback
When McLuhan says "You mean my whole *fallacy* is wrong" didn't he mean to say *thesis*?
Yes,he blew the line.
He preferred the word fallacy and this was a common phrase he used. He didn’t take criticism of his thinking very seriously. He told more than one skeptic, « you don’t like my ideas? I’ve got others! »
1:13 looks like Diane's reading her lines here.
Woody Allen made some funny movies back in the day
I miss when NY was like this.
I miss it too even though I don’t think it ever was and I never visited…
"Well, if life were only like this"
This was one of local theaters, growing up. This and The Thalia. Spoiled for great Choices.
I like it because in the end Woody's words come out of the filmmaker, "How you got to teach a course in anything, is totally amazing!"
“How can you possibly oversleep”?
Still makes me laugh.
Truly incredible film! One of the best scenes for sure! The family guy reference to this scene is also priceless where he brings out Jesus Christ when George Bush says he answers to higher power, def recommend it!
Thanks for that information.
I remember this. But I forgot how funny the whole scene was.
2:01 R.I.P 4th wall
I wouldn’t have to remember so many quotes.
Did deadpool at any point make a joke about woody allen?
I feel like it would be really easy to say this is Wade Wilson's great-uncle or something.
Happy birthday legend
this is just standing in line at the american cinematheque in LA lol
EXCELLENT FILM 10 STARS
One of my favorite film scenes of all times. But I never understood McLuhan's prior to last sentence: "You mean my whole fallacy is wrong?".
He is spitting on my neck. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Anybody here from seeing that scene in the Soprano with UNcle Junior where the nurse makes a joke about Marshall McCluhan?
if i don't get at least 16 sleep, I’m a basket case.
