1977 - Annie Hall: "I'm very shallow and and empty and I have no ideas and nothing interesting to say"


1977 Best Picture 

Premiered April 20, 1977

Budget $4 Million

Gross $39 Million

It was a very artistic movie. It was classic Woody Allen. The hand held camera shots and the documentary type approach were progressive. However, the story was boring. The script did not draw us in and the movie had a chance to stand for something but it didn't. It was actually quite tragic without meaning to be.

Joel
Favorite: I liked the style of Woody Allen acting as the main character and as the narrator, talking directly to the viewer throughout the movie.
Least Favorite: I did not like the message of the movie. It was very depressing.

Callie
Favorite: It was intriguing seeing Annie Hall's clothes. They had such an 80s look to them. It set the tone for where fashion would go in the years after the film's release.
Least Favorite: It had such an opportunity to pull the viewer in to connect with the characters but it never did. Instead, it made you cringe at how pathetic the characters were.
