The problem of Woody Allen

He somehow cannot comprehend that a multicultural world, which is often symbolized by the New York City, can be as dumb as it is. The people are hypocritical and they seem to be comfortable with the farce of their life. Since, he believea that people are aware of their hypocricy, so he thinks he can change that by outlining this duality in his movies.
Most of the times the movies fail at the box office - people are not hypocrites, they are actually dumb.

And what is with his romance scenes? He never kisses on mouth, instead he prefers to kiss on the shoulders and trapezius (the neck muscles), passing the most socratic comments with each gesture. I think this habbit is symbolic of his views about female sex, and sexuality overall.

thats because no one is interested in a movie that requires the viewer to do a little introspection. its not that they are unable to do it, its just that they cant grasp the importance of doing so, and that way it becomes difficult and useless.

plus, no one wants to think at a movie. we want to be taken away, to dumb out for a few hours. thats what i want, anyway.

still tho there are enough ppl who understand allen to have made him an icon in american film making and quirky humour, innit?
