"Well, that's, essentially, how I feel about life : full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and... it's all over - much too quickly."
"That's essentially how I feel about life. Full of loneliness and misery and suffering and unhappiness and its all over much too quickly." DAMN.... I first saw this movie way back when I was a high school student in the mid-70s. The worst part is that the sentiments were spoken over 30 years ago but they're still relevant right now!
This opening monologue is, without a doubt, a classic! Woody's style/writing/directing is definitely an acquired taste. I give Woody Allen credit for his PASSION. He doesn't make films for fortune or fame. Allen continues to create films for ONE reason- his love for the ARTS. PERIOD. "Annie Hall" holds a special place in my heart. Again, classic film in American cinema. =)
No matter whether you like him or not.. consider this. The man has actually created his own genre... There are horror films, comedies, drams, ect... then there are two directors ... you have a Hitchcock film,, or a Woody Allen film.. got to love that about the guy. He did well. I always love his films. just so different.
silent comedy is the toughest form of comedy relying on wit, delivery, and keen awareness of personal and cultural quirks - woody allen is truly one in a million.
Amazing. Woody Allen at the top of his game. He had so much energy and vigor then, he was a creative force to be reckoned with, the cutting edge of comedy and filmmaking.
1:13 is one of my favorite moments in any movie ever. The way he pauses and sighs after telling jokes in a rambling monologue -- "Annie and I broke up and I still can't get my mind around that." So real. Incredible opening to a wonderful film.
this video was a lifesaver. i needed it for my essay on the opening of the film. thanks so much for putting this up cos i needed some of the quotes. ur awesome! :)
I love Woody!!! i'm in a race to see all of his movies...love most of em... Really hope he keeps on makin them great movies until his death...cause they surely keep me alive ;) Go Woody !!!
Yeah what a classic, him , the movie, and this clip. It's amazing how little people born in the 80's and later know about anything earlier than their time, their missing out on the a time when America still had culture.
On this day in 1977 {April 20th} the Woody Allen movie "Annie Hall" opened nationwide in the U.S.A. and across Canada... The film was first shown a month earlier at the 'Los Angeles Film Festival'... It was nominated for five Academy Awards, winning four; 'Best Picture', 'Best Actress' {Diane Keaton}, 'Best Director' {Mr. Allen}, and 'Best Screenplay'... The one it didn't win was for 'Best Actor' {Mr. Allen}... Mr. Allen celebrated his 77th birthday this past December 1st...
Man, it seems like there aren't any auteurs like Allen around in today's age. I'd like to see a modern charismatic director-like Tarnatino or Spike Lee-make an intro like this, especially to one of their controversial productions.
Spike Lee is awful. Also what do you mean this generation of directors lacks charisma? We have Paul Thomas Anderson, Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese, Andrew Dominik...... I think you're limiting yourself.
I hadn't realised until right now, but that Groucho joke, about not wanting to be a member of a club that would have him as a member? That perfectly encapsulates the entire history of my relationships with women. Why would I want to date someone fucked up enough to want to date me?
He is not "child molester". He and Soon-Yi fell in love and got married. She was the adopted daughter of his "wife". Woody never adopted her. She was never "his daughter". They've been taking this crap for years and years now, yet they're still together. If that's okay with them then that oughta be okay with the rest of us who know nothing of them. Here's to more happiness to Woody and Soon-Yi for years and years to come.
Man!, Woody Allen is such a great actor, in this movie (Annie Hall) he's amazing, I mean this openning is like no other else, the two key jokes that he describes, both are exactly the reason of why the relatonshiop between women a men fail.
Yes thank you for sharing. Actually I am a Catholic boy who is involved with a Jewish girl. Sort of the reverse of the characters in Annie Hall. I am probably seen as a Catholic priest sitting at the table. LOL!
@Ph3L1z14n0 They go to a Catskill mountain resort. The location itself isn't very important to the joke, but there is a subtext that the ladies are probably Jewish; this is a central theme in Woody's humor.
"I never want to join a club who would have me as a member." One of the best quotes in history.

I'm glad someone mentioned Stardust Memories, my favourite one. Definitely underrated...
Happy 80th birthday, Woody!

Think of it this way: If the food is bad enough to complain about, it makes no sense to complain that there's so little of it. That's why it's funny
The first vlog? Woody, you're a genius :)
Alvy Singer is someone who I would date. His character was so poignant and raw. The ending was so real,it broke my heart. But that's just life.
great film, loved how stream-of-consciousness it is
Absolutely. It's on my list of 10 movies absolutely everyone must see.
One of the best movies ever made about relationships. Where's my shopping bag and the cafeteria?
What a coincidence! I was just watching that episode the other day...
Woody was really at his zenith
with this classic.
There's something sublime about this movie.
i love so much this guy

Now you're 34. Hope you've cheered up a bit.
I really liked Woody a lot in the days before it got complicated.
Woody Allen you are a genuis
woody allen rules!
Pretzels are making you thristy? Soon Li, get me son beer with those Pretzels!
I'm a fan of everything you do
My favourite film.Ever.By some distance.
I hadn't realised until right now, but that Groucho joke, about not wanting to be a member of a club that would have him as a member? That perfectly encapsulates the entire history of my relationships with women.
Why would I want to date someone fucked up enough to want to date me?
A cinematic masterpiece.....
"I know.....and such small portions." I wish the writing for comedies was this good and I wish I could write like that.
I love woody
thx^^
Best dialogue of any movie.
I would never want to belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member
What can I say...Woody is a genius!
Ahhhh the seventies cinema....when artists ruled and not businessmen....great movie.
Woody Allen is the only B I G philosopher who still lives.
Hopefully he does not consider it differently.
YES!
we all need them, if you ask me :)
@SuperHeroMania
it's woody allen character... he's auteur director and that's one of his most important symbols.
Woody the best we have ,,alive ,,,
Genius genius
Woody Allen is such a genious
I think the best voice-over joke he told in this film was "those who can't do, teach; and those who can't teach, teach gym." LOL
Happy birthday woody!!
He explains it right after. It's a metaphor for life: no matter how terrible it is, it always ends too early.
Oh no. That means all my prayers have been wasted.
Holy Shit! What if Woody Allen directed Jungle Fever?
woody has such great timing with his jokes.
I'm doing this monologue for theater class next month; it's dreadfully hard to memorize.
So much has to go through their heads no doubt
He is not "child molester". He and Soon-Yi fell in love and got married. She was the adopted daughter of his "wife". Woody never adopted her. She was never "his daughter".
They've been taking this crap for years and years now, yet they're still together. If that's okay with them then that oughta be okay with the rest of us who know nothing of them.
Here's to more happiness to Woody and Soon-Yi for years and years to come.
A decade ago... mannnnn.
This is my personal profile video on E-Harmony. I'm still waiting for an E-Response.
Man!, Woody Allen is such a great actor, in this movie (Annie Hall) he's amazing, I mean this openning is like no other else, the two key jokes that he describes, both are exactly the reason of why the relatonshiop between women a men fail.
My mom was in the movie! She was an extra but u can see her
which scene?
Yes thank you for sharing. Actually I am a Catholic boy who is involved with a Jewish girl. Sort of the reverse of the characters in Annie Hall. I am probably seen as a Catholic priest sitting at the table. LOL!
i liked this film
That's not just the key joke of your adult life in terms of your relationship with women. That's the history of the Jewish people.
no one can do what he did the way he did it
well it may be, or maybe not.
but in any case, he's the best.
They are both genius
Am I the only one who thinks this is top acting?
as openers go,it doesnt get any better than this...well maybe broadway danny rose.
I cried at the end of annie hall. I miss my girlfriend.
yes
He looks so young!!!!!
Woody performed beautiflly
@Ph3L1z14n0 They go to a Catskill mountain resort. The location itself isn't very important to the joke, but there is a subtext that the ladies are probably Jewish; this is a central theme in Woody's humor.
Not even his step-daughter. It's his adoptive daughter.
2x!!!
Thank you Greenleafff
I'm so sorry he's old now... I wished he could make more and more films...By the way, Annie Hall is a masterpiece.
