  1. So far this movie has been very interesting and funny, at the moment it has not gotten boring for me which is a good thing. I cant wait to see what other funny and interesting things happen throught it.

  2. I really like this movie, it has an unusual type of humor that you don't see so often in movies. The fact that he openly expresses his life issues to the audience and to Annie gives it a little extra something. Also, I realized that Annie is a female version of him and that story she told about the guy and the turkey, was hysterical! Although sometimes this movie is a little hard to follow it's still really good so far

  3. I thought the movie was very creative and I honestly I couldn't stop laughing, it was hysterical. I liked how he uses certain editing techniques many times through out the film without making it over bearing. The sub-titles was a brilliant little detail that made that scene with Alvy and his wife so much funnier. I also like how the director decides to edit the scenes of alvy as a child so that alvy's adult self is also in the scene, as if his older self were also in the scene. So far this is a five star film for me and I look foward to watch the rest of it.

  4. I think this movie is interesting so far. I'm glad that we're watching another movie that has some humor in it because I really liked The Graduate. I think that some parts of the film are a little bit confusing because I don't know a lot about the topics that Alvy goes on rants about. I liked how subtitles were used today to show the thoughts in Alvy and Annie's head. I thought it was creative and made that scene much more enjoyable. I hope that subtitles are used more in the film for parts like that because I think it would seem somewhat off balance or strange to have subtitles in just that one part.

  5. So far in the movie I am not a fan of the fourth wall. I do not like how the movie almost stops for him to talk to the audience. And I do not see how the different scenes connect, however, each scene does have some humor to it which I enjoy.

  6. I thought it was really interesting how during the film Woody Allen would go against the norm and play with different techniques. I thought it was really cool how he plays with the past and present. Although this can get confusing, I find it interesting and more amusing to watch by finding out the characters past history. Also, I thought it was different how he stopped to ask the camera (or the audience) about Annie. I'm not sure if I really liked this part, however I thought that the addition of the subtitles was funny. Some scenes are also carried on for too long and become less and less funny.

  7. So far I think this movie is pretty good. In some scenes I found myself laughing because the things he says are so funny but in others I was so lost. I think this is due to the fact that I don't understand all the jokes from that time period. I also think that Annie and Alvy are perfect for each other because they're kind of like the same person, except that one is a guy and the other is a girl. They share like the same thoughts and I thought that the scene when him and Annie first meet is so funny because Annie just makes things so awkward and doesn't make sense.
