this is certainly one of my top WA films. funny, heartfelt, and just about every charm Woody Allen has, it's in this film.
i can tell Woody Allen is trying to be serious like Ingmar Bergman does with this film, but i don't think he achieved it. yes, there're a lot of good philosophy theories, but the film overall is just not as good as i thought.
Professor Levy: We're all faced throughout our lives with agonizing decisions, moral choices. Some are on a grand scale, most of these choices are on lesser points. But we define ourselves by the choices we have made. We are, in fact, the sum total of our choices. Events unfold so unpredictably, so unfairly, Human happiness does not seem to be included in the design of creation. it is only we, with our capacity to love that give meaning to the indifferent universe. And yet, most human beings seem to have the ability to keep trying and even try to find joy from simple things, like their family, their work, and from the hope that future generations might understand more.
