annie hall

i figured it out! i know why we all want to live our lives as if we were in a movie, or in a book. it is not because art makes things look nicer, beutiful and provides always a happy-end (which could also be refuted) but because it deludes us into thinking that we can understand ours as well as we understand the one of the guy we are been presented with.

thats an illusion. it is impossible for anyone of us, mortals, to step outside from ourselves and see how we are handling our lives without the usual dusk, gloom and mess we keep trying to figure out. there is some plot, of course, but we will never see it as such and, therefore we will sadly never be able either to present for ourselves a nice picture of it, one that could counterbalance for all the misery and chaos we confront through our path. those moments, as well as the magical perfect ones will remain mixed one with each other and will remain un-romanticised forever and ever.

however, there are some gods, human alike though, that are able to share their clear sight and insights through the creation of amazingly extraordinary classic movies such as annie hall. he is woody allen, "it" is him, and thanks to his work we can get to fantacise about being capable, maybe someday, of pictuing our lives as neatly as he does with his. we need that hope in order to believe that either like him or thanks to him we might eventually make sense of all this nonsense we experience daily, to believe, basically, there is any point in all that. at least, I do.
