Homework Movie - Annie Hall


I have known couples that are exactly like Woody Allen and Diane Keaton's characters in this wonderfully funny movie. Directed and written by Allen and his sometimes collaborator Marshall Brickman in the late 70's, this movie takes me on a journey with some familiar subjects: preoccupied women, lustful men, and changes of scenery. More often than not, in relationships, people tend to think that a "change of scenery" will change how they feel for one another. It doesn't work out that way in real life, just as it doesn't work out in this movie. More often, the change of scenery worsens the need to change something about the person, not the place.
