If you give me a nice sample, I'll suck your toe!

even from 1998?

I mean, damn, a man who chases only himself and the pleasure of his work, who couldn't care less about the criticism (he hasn't read them since 1970) and makes a film a year because he has a new idea every day. (We're not talking about the quality of his ideas, but the fact that he's a genius who needs a continuous outlet to express himself and isn't cowardly enough to compromise!) Have you seen the freshness in Anything Else? And the brightness in Match Point? Oh my, how he (with his trusted ones) knows how to build images that truly remain in the history of cinema! No one else!

Oh no, damn it! Allen is today an extraordinary director! He can do anything, he has tried everything, he has implemented hundreds of experiments, he has directed thrillers, musicals, comedies, and dramas, he has worked with dozens and dozens of incredibly skilled international partners (most recently the well-prepared Zao Fei), he has always chosen every damn actor he wanted except for (Dustin Hoffman), he is spontaneous yet wise, he has experience in everything, he could truly direct blindfolded (SEE HOLLYWOOD ENDING) and still manage to deliver a remarkable piece of work. Oh no, damn it! Have I argued enough?

particularly boring

a few mistakes, but not bad!

It took Allen 2 years to write Zelig. (This is quite exceptional for him, as he usually drafts everything in a couple of months). The film enjoys a 1920s directing technique called "flickering" to lend more credibility to the dated documentary style. (Allen subjected himself to thousands of documentaries to prepare and revised the script hundreds of times). Gordon Willis deserves mention for his refined lighting. The study of the image and the value it conveys are a key component for the film's success. To achieve more realism, amateur actors were used for the spoken roles (the interviews). The film starts in 1929, the Age of Jazz. The lack of integrity among people is an eternal issue. In Europe, a French critic coined the term "Zelig syndrome" to describe people who express opinions that do not belong to them. Zelig is a pointed critique of fascism (which relies on the renunciation of one's personality and blending in with others for protection). Zelig is a critique of the conduct and superiority complex of journalism. The original soundtrack is by jazz pianist Hyman. The reception is decent, somewhat peripheral, but it fits.

TEAR IT APART, STRACCY!!!!

You've used "very" and its derivatives too many times. Tiring.
