YouTube Clips of the Week: “Annie Hall”

by

I have two favorite movies — Silence of the Lambs (1992 Best Picture) and Annie Hall (1977 Best Picture). I know — I’m cheating, but I can’t pick between the two. Annie Hall has been called Woody Allen’s masterpiece and quite a lot of other less flattering things, but there are scenes in it that people with any type of depression will be able to identify with. They certainly show how nobody seems to have a clue as to what you are going through, even if they have good intentions or work in the medical profession.

The first clip is Woody Allen’s character, Alvy Singer going to his first therapy session as a child.

The next is an incredible cameo from Christopher Walken. Oddly enough, I can identify with both Allen’s and Walken’s character:

The next is Alvy and Annie stnding in line discussing depression, therapy and polo mallets.

Hoped these helped.
