"I turned 18 the other day. I'm legal now." If he loved her,he'd have been aware of that birthday. Making the plane scene is re-enactment of Casablanca.
One of the many things i love about Woody Allen's movies is that they all have great endings! Every one of them seems to wrap up so perfectly, and in this one...to even show the very possible fact that the 'Woody Allen persona' FINALLY gets it....is just awesome
Great facial expressions......at the end when she says HAVE A LITTLE FAITH IN ME he smiles realizing the irony of the situation and for all intent and purpose the relationship is over.........this film is a masterpiece
I've always read the ending as philosophically skeptical. Allen's character derides the rest of the action of the film as people making empty melodrama to fill their lives...and then he makes empty melodrama to fill his life. The message is that you can't really escape it.
Oh god I love you for uploading this. What an underrated gem! and the ending! I've never felt so fulfilled about an ending since Bergman's Wild Strawberries and The Seventh Seal
when he was going over the litany of things he loved, I was waiting to hear George Gershwin, if you're not a fan of George's after watching this movie, you'll never be.
Watching this after so many years, I'm so impressed by Mariel Hemingway's performance. She expresses bafflement, yearning, resentment, forgiveness, with the tiniest change of expression. Very subtle actress, especially considering her age at the time. WA by contrast comes across as fal
...false. I just mean in this film, he's great in so many others. But his character is less than winning (nothing to do with WA's private life, not my business). This is Muriel's film.
The endings of Manhattan , Blade Runner (Rutger Haur), and Empire of the Sun, do it for me,,,3 different genres , each equal in pure genius, drama and emotion
The alternate title of this film could've been LOVE LIKE IT OUGHT TO BE 👍👍👍👍👍 This is the type of film which by the end makes you feel at least 50 feet taller 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌 P.S. Woody Allen is a magician at turning movie conventions on their head. Look how while Issac is running to get to Tracy, he is out of breath so many times like a normal real person would be in a situation like this. Otherwise in other Hollywood movies, people run for miles & miles & they are never short of breath nor do they exhibit even the slightest of tiredness. BRAVO 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
I think there's a bit more to the film, and the ending than that - it's only when he's 'dumped' by the woman he'd fallen for that he then rushes back to the girl who he knew was too young for him all along, precisely because it's an effort to recapture that sense of youth he's lost in being rejected.
That, or he realizes what's important, what really matters, hence the question he poses to himself 'What makes life worth living?' and unconsciously blurts out 'Tracy's face'. I don't think it was him trying to recapture youth, or even a reflex of being rejected. I think it was Isaac finally realizing what makes his life worth living. Being with her. He realizes, like many of us do, that the time he was happiest was with a particular person. And that he pushed her away. In Annie Hall, he has the same issue: He encourages Annie to pursue her singing, which she does which leads her away from him.
@PlaidBadge I can tell you why I like the ending so much. By the time Isaac realized he loved Tracy, it seems like it's almost too late. She only did as he insisted throughout the whole movie that she should go to London and forget him. She's "the one" because she loves him unconditionally and accepts him for who he is. Tracy seems so much more grown up and aware by this point. Realistically, he knows he will lose her, but at least he finally told her how he felt, despite the age difference.
No, i think he did not really care about telling her that he won't ever fall in love with her and she was a filler in his life and when he had nobody he went back to her and still did not care about her career and the opportunity she was going for. Being selfish makes one so weak sometimes.
@@foodandrecipes6195 Yes, I agree with you. He did not have the courage to tell her that he does not love her and tried to make it as though he was being 'unselfish' in letting her go.
I find it fitting that he mentions Frank Sinatra in his list in the beginning because Sinatra's iconic song "Theme from New York, New York" was released the same year as this film was, 1979.
Brilliant ending; excellent film. There is now a book out entitled 'You Are A Tube!' compiled by Steven Fried PLC which contains literally thousands of CZcams comments.
Fin ultra référencée : le travelling sur Woody Allen qui court est une allusion à la fin du film "Les Quatre Cents Coups", de Truffaut, et l'expression finale qui se lit sur son visage nous renvoie à un regard, une fin, qui a marqué l'histoire du cinéma : Charlie Chaplin, dans "City Lights".
Regardless of age, I just can't buy them as a couple. Maybe he's presenting it as a hopeless or bittersweet ending, but it seems like Allen wants us to believe he's going back to the girl he truly loves. Feels incredibly forced, unlike the vast majority of the movie.
@PlaidBadge because it's life. like the fellow said wood represents the "grown-up" cinical world and the girl the "childish" romantic world....and, for a second she sort of changes him...plus those last shots(speaccially the one of the BK bridge knocked me on my heels...)
Because he is an a-hole and she is the one redeeming thing in his existence ... and in that one last facial expression, the a-hole gets it. It is a cinematic masterstroke.
I saw it a long time ago, yes I remember it as a good film. But now I'm a bit older, and a 42 year old man chasing a 17 year old girl just doesnt sound right with me. Would you agree with your 17 yeard old dating a 42 yeard old? 2yrs ago she was 15, he was 40? Come on.
It seems "normal" because the viewer may be overwhelmed with the images. In the film both characters seem to live care free lives, no real worry about their futures. I think the ending of the film plays out a 17yr old on her way to paris, is that a averages 17yrs olds life? Did anyone in the girls family question this 42yr old mans motives? But, wait, remember Cassablaca? "Here's looking at you kid?" Boggy was at least 10/15yrs older, it seems. But, Burgman didnt appear to be 17.
Did she say she just, "turned 18?" So the whole movie he's been chasing a 17 yr old? Doesnt he look to be about 35?? Damn, who sick can a mother fucker be?? And puttin it all on the big screen, And NOBODY in Hollywood or in the media says damn thing. Sick!
Omg, why would a 35 year old be sexually interested in a 17 year old. And more nuts is why would a guy make a movie where He is the one trying to bag a 17 year old?? Dont you realized that 2yrs ago she was 15 and he was 33?? Sick a??

this film has one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, opening and ending scenes ever shot.
With a magnificent film in the middle.
A masterpiece. An unforgettable end.
“Not everybody gets corrupted. You have to have a little faith in people". Tracy I love you *o*
Most important line in the film...
Couldn't have put it better myself 😇😇😇😇 But like Issac said the most important thing which makes life worth living is your soulmate's face 🙏🙏🙏🙏
😻 💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙 😻
I thought she said, "everybody gets corrupted"
Must re-listen
I watch the last 50 seconds and tears well-up.... This has to be in my all time top ten films, actually pretty near the top...
I love the ending after his response to "have a little faith." The skyline of Manhattan with the Gershwin music going full blast. Thank you Woody!
This ending is perfect.
For the longest time I heard the ending line as “Everybody gets corrupted.” Her “not” was just so muffled. Totally changed the whole meaning!
Sameee for years I was so wrong hahah jesus
"I turned 18 the other day. I'm legal now."
If he loved her,he'd have been aware of that birthday.
Making the plane scene is re-enactment of Casablanca.
This movie is heavily influenced by Casablanca. Earlier in the movie, Woody Allen's character says, "We'll always have Paris."
Pedoblanca?
This movie is simply a masterpiece...I read somewhere that Woody Allen hated this movie and didn't want it released...
Thank you so much for sharing this clip. "Manhattan" is one of my favourite movies and I love especially this ending. It´s beautiful!

I've always read the ending as philosophically skeptical. Allen's character derides the rest of the action of the film as people making empty melodrama to fill their lives...and then he makes empty melodrama to fill his life. The message is that you can't really escape it.
The message is you can realize you're being a dramatic a-hole and still have the ability to change for the better.
@@DanielReyes-cd9qx that's a good one!
Most Favourite Scene and Ending of all time... this is cinema at its purest :) Can never get over this one....
Allen created a piece of cinema for eternity. It is about understanding the piece of Universe you were given and learn to live with it.
Oh god I love you for uploading this. What an underrated gem! and the ending! I've never felt so fulfilled about an ending since Bergman's Wild Strawberries and The Seventh Seal
Sous-estimé ?? 😂
mastery. a favorite film. definitely Top 3 Film Endings.
when he was going over the litany of things he loved, I was waiting to hear George Gershwin, if you're not a fan of George's after watching this movie, you'll never be.
Perhaps the best final scene of any American film.
The last scenes in this movie always give me a great leap of faith in life. Too bad Woody doesn't watch it for that same thing.
Woody Allen and George Gershwin that's a magical thing !
My favorite filmmaker.
The loss of true love

such a tender moment,
Lived in NYC for 6 years of my life.
No other city makes you feel like you're in a Movie like NYC
Exactement ce que je me suis dit quand je l'ai visité,il y a 40 ans...

That is a very astute observation S McGarry.
That, or he realizes what's important, what really matters, hence the question he poses to himself 'What makes life worth living?' and unconsciously blurts out 'Tracy's face'.

Fin ultra référencée : le travelling sur Woody Allen qui court est
une allusion à la fin du film "Les Quatre Cents Coups", de Truffaut,
et l'expression finale qui se lit sur son visage nous renvoie à un regard,
une fin, qui a marqué l'histoire du cinéma : Charlie Chaplin, dans "City Lights".
C’est vrai. Totalement d'accord.
I wish I knew what's happening next, that'd help my personal life so much :)
When she asks ( do you love me ) always breaks me down, It’s just the way she says the line
life imitating art
Woody's smile at the very end there, just has me shaking my head every time...so damn moving...so, you guys think she went, or stayed?
I think she went, her mind seemed made up.
Who knows? That's love in the Big Apple.
She went. She was way too good for Isaac.
She went and then he went to London too and they had great times walking in the rain.
Of course she went. She has her life to get on with. She can't keep wasting it on an elderly narcissist.
Regardless of age, I just can't buy them as a couple. Maybe he's presenting it as a hopeless or bittersweet ending, but it seems like Allen wants us to believe he's going back to the girl he truly loves. Feels incredibly forced, unlike the vast majority of the movie.
The point is love is love and not rational.
Je suis tellement '' remué'' à chaque fois...
The proof that some movies go better with black and white.
Je vais encore verser une larme...
@PaulGreen11
calm down. That's the whole thing you get from that gorgeous movie?
Imagine having a girl like Tracy crazy for you and dumping her. Not a chance.
@PlaidBadge because it's life. like the fellow said wood represents the "grown-up" cinical world and the girl the "childish" romantic world....and, for a second she sort of changes him...plus those last shots(speaccially the one of the BK bridge knocked me on my heels...)
'Hey, don't be so mature, OK !'
Maybe you're right, I'll take another look at the film.
Woody is an existentialist trying to find meaning and making fun of meaningless.
I wish he would have had a shot of the Twin Towers.
He forgot Lennon!
May I ask why you guys like the ending so much?
Because he is an a-hole and she is the one redeeming thing in his existence ... and in that one last facial expression, the a-hole gets it. It is a cinematic masterstroke.
Bunch of paedophiles.
Cette fin '' remue '' c'est sûr...
Aw, Woody'll be alright, he'll get over the schoolgirl, grow up, settle down, and marry Mia Farrow....................................
4:06
How could anyone knowing what we know now about Woody Allen not puke in their mouth when his love interest is barely 18.
When will karma hit Woody?
She's 17! Expecting Chris Hansen and the Catch a Predator crew to show up.
I saw it a long time ago, yes I remember it as a good film. But now I'm a bit older, and a 42 year old man chasing a 17 year old girl just doesnt sound right with me. Would you agree with your 17 yeard old dating a 42 yeard old? 2yrs ago she was 15, he was 40? Come on.
It seems "normal" because the viewer may be overwhelmed with the images. In the film both characters seem to live care free lives, no real worry about their futures. I think the ending of the film plays out a 17yr old on her way to paris, is that a averages 17yrs olds life? Did anyone in the girls family question this 42yr old mans motives? But, wait, remember Cassablaca? "Here's looking at you kid?" Boggy was at least 10/15yrs older, it seems. But, Burgman didnt appear to be 17.
@aleja087 Ok, it was a great movie. But, 17? just 18 months ago she was 15 Years Old?? Come on??
@garyw930 And if any of my comments are in there without my say so IM SUEING HIS ASS!!!!
Did she say she just, "turned 18?" So the whole movie he's been chasing a 17 yr old? Doesnt he look to be about 35?? Damn, who sick can a mother fucker be?? And puttin it all on the big screen, And NOBODY in Hollywood or in the media says damn thing. Sick!
His lip smacking is really annoying.
statutory rape is "gorgeous?"
Omg, why would a 35 year old be sexually interested in a 17 year old. And more nuts is why would a guy make a movie where He is the one trying to bag a 17 year old?? Dont you realized that 2yrs ago she was 15 and he was 33?? Sick a??
