Although most of Woody Allen's films cannot help but "salute" Fellini, Bergman and those film writers who keep learning and trying to approach, it seems that every once in a while, Woody Allen will make a "gift film" that makes critics and audiences gape and tongue tied, and he is very proud of himself[31](Netease Entertainment Review)。
Woody Allen's unique films span drama and offline comedy. He is also good at his fast film shooting process and a large number of film works[54]。The themes of his writing are nothing more than death, sex and immoral behavior. He is good at absorbing the advantages of silent comedy and cooperating with his own set of witty dialogues with strong local color, especially the witty wit of New York intellectuals.His satirical objects range from politics, culture, religion, sex to movies, television, Jewish customs, etc. If he does not understand the characters and environment in the film, his sense of humor of "insider jokes" will not be understood, so his works are very popular with American audiences(especially intellectuals)But in non English speaking countries, there is a gap.The critical French called him "the only intellectual in the American film industry"[55-56](Phoenix Entertainment Review)。
