Review of Manhattan (1979) by Ahmed A — 31 May 2018
Actually I'm disappointed because the movie didn't answer a lot of question, such as:
* How on earth the tone slips so gracefully between the gut-busting one-liners and emotionally exhausting romantic moments like that?
* How can a black-and-white film still be considered as one of the most beautiful movies ever with its gorgeous cinematography?
* How can a 96 min film has such character development? * How can a single quote make a lot of change to the characters and the story itself?
* How can a soundtrack that features only the rhythms of songs can speak for the hero at every stage he get through? * How can a movie this complex and presents messages about love and loss seems to be so simple that can be rewatched. .... and many more questions left unanswered.
Mariel Hemingway performance is phenomenal! Hands down one of the smartest and most subtle screenplays ever written!
By far, Manhattan is the best Woody Allen movie. By the way, I'm a big fan of Annie Hall.
This movie is the definition of "Bittersweet"!
(10/10).
