That phrase, spoken by Diane Keaton in "Annie Hall," which David and I watched last night in lieu of "Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman," is still spoken so charmingly, and the film is a charmer, but watching it this time was also a sad experience. Many of the stars listed on the poster are no longer with us, including Diane Keaton, and the film evokes a New York City I recall so well, but sadly no longer exists.
Still the movie theater-Marshall McLuhan scene rings true, the family scenes are hilarious, the school scene downright accurate, and Diane Keaton's talent was on full display, not only with her comedic acting, but her singing as well. She had an excellent singing voice; but don't forget she was in the Original Broadway cast of "HAIR," back in 1968.
The film also seems to chronicle Woody and Diane's relationship to a point. They shall always be remembered and this film solidifies it.
"Annie Hall" is indeed a Seventies film. Which is why Keaton and the film won Oscars.
It evoked its time so perfectly then, and even more so now!!!!!!!!!!!!
