    It's one thing for the main character to break the fourth wall regularly. It's another thing when a complete stranger shows up and shatters it further at the same time!

      This was going to be another silly one like "Bananas" or "Take the Money and Run" but his editor (believe it's Wendy Greene Bricmont) saw the poignancy in some of the scenes and they cut it to emphasize the drama while keeping all the best comedic bits.

    This scene, not the famous opening scene, in my opinion is one of the best scenes in Annie Hall. What makes the humour so subtle is that Woody,in a way, is parodying himself. He complains that the other guy is screaming opinions in his ears, although he happens to be doing the same thing. remember how the two ladies, (with woody and the other guy) could barely say anything in the conversation, as both these men are continuously obsessed about their feelings. Later, when the two indulge in a conversation, it becomes about who is more familiar with the filmmaker's works, reflecting their sense of self-importance

    fourth-wall breaks are the most obnoxious and over-used thing in modern media (though there's several contenders for that crown).
    but it works in this scene because the joke is that Woody Allen is such a neurotic narcissist that even though he's the writer, director and lead actor, and therefore constructed every aspect of this scene to be in his favor, he still needed to stop the movie and directly address the audience to make **sure** that they were on his side, even using his directorial powers to summon the subject of their argument to also side with him. this scene was the birth of meta-irony

    Despite this scene's brilliance, Mcluhan got his lines wrong didn't he ?
    'You mean my whole fallacy is wrong'. Eh ? A fluff surely ? Surely he meant to say something like 'my whole theory is a fallacy'. (Of course Fellini himself was meant to appear and pulled out at the last minute, so Marshal was a replacement.)
    The actor playing the nuisance said this took at least 18 takes because of Mcluhan's inability to get it right - so possibly this was the nearest he got.

      Allen is such a perfectionist. This scene is one continuous shot. If McLuhan couldn't get the line right, you'd think they'd film his15-second part at the end of the scene separately, so that they didn't have to keep repeating the 2 1/2 minutes leading into it. But no, this had to be one shot!

    • @brettfawcett9391
      @brettfawcett9391 4 года назад +9

      No, McLuhan would regularly throw out witticisms like "you mean my whole fallacy's wrong?". He would often makes remarks such as "I don't agree with everything I say" and "if you don't like those ideas, I've got others!". He had a very playful, Cheshire cat attitude towards his own thought and often implied he was deliberately exaggerating or making provocative claims to elicit thought from his hearers and readers that weren't strictly logical (from the perspective of the trivium, he favored grammar and rhetoric over dialectic). So this wasn't a flubbed line; it was a standard McLuhanism.
      ....oh, gosh, I sound just like the guy in line behind Allen, don't I? :-S

      Well, I suppose only Woody knows the truth, and to my knowledge he hasn't told it.
      I'm going to stick to my (admittedly weakened) guns, by saying that the point of the scene was to brutally destroy Mr Knowledgeable, and to do that and justify the glorious final line to camera word play from McLuhan wasn't comedically appropriate.....oh dear......
      Perhaps my whole fallacy is wrong.

    I was ushering in 1977 when this was released. It won Best Picture that year, as well as Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay and Best Director, so San Bernardino audiences had high expectations. Let me just speculate that these people didn't really grok New York culture. Some claimed that "it wasn't a real movie," and demanded refunds.
