Annie Hall

I'm watching it in 2 sitting, because the second half is still loading. I want to capture any ideas I may have had from it. 

First Half - 
It moves very quick pace. Even the first time I watched it, it moved at such a pace that I was amazed. The introduction I really like. I may want to use that. Just the overall sequence of events was pretty well made. It doesn't feel jagged or out of place - it just flows. I should write down when each cut was made. 

He does a few 'breaking the fourth wall' moments, which is pretty interesting. Some kind of lame - but it adds another dimension where they can talk more about their relationship. Also, the continuing theme of him thinking 'Annie isn't smart enough', which is echoed heavily. 


Second Half - 
I forgot to mention that they jump into the past at times. I'm not sure if it's significant jumps - maybe just to grab a joke here and there. The ending was sad when you think about it - but it wasn't trying to be dramatic sad. More sad when he wrote about it in a play, with the exact same lines - and comments about it.
