Woody Allen's talent shows as a writer, who likes to direct the majority of his pictures so has full dominance over how his films should express the feelings and emotions to the audience. he is the only person who knows what is best for his work to be presented.
to me, many people do not understand the art and craft of Woody Allen. Allen, being the person who doesn't really care how much money the film makes at the box office, writes his films to indicate to the audience how he feels about life in it's entirely. hence, the fact he always plays a character who is often outspoken, a loser, out of touch or an outsider who sees the behaviour of other humans as being "imcompative" and "selfish" with no grasp whatsoever, of how to cope in what should simple situations but turn into big nasty complicated ones and let others get in the way of their "true" feelings and ends up suffering usually because he struggled to make sense and to valulate them appropriately.
many people hate Woody Allen, primarly because he throws all his feelings towards personal things which matter to him and bashes them. he likes to pose questions in his films about life which are very controversial. For example, in Annie Hall, the climax of Alvy and Annie at the end, when they part seen through a restuarant corner window. Allen as voice-over states "that the purpose of a relationship (for most people) to get the eggs" where you see a continous line of traffic on the rear left hand side of the film constantly moving. the point was that to keep the world moving, people should get together, make love, have babies and break up. many people "would" object to that, since they never behave like that and that it is too far-fetched. they would also feel very angry that someone is denounces their feelings because he apparently does not understand why they do what they do.
who agrees?
