I really enjoyed this series of videos. I also agree that it's his best film. I've been saying that for a year!

Hey, narrator! You ruined the ending for me just when I was about to watch this film for the 562, 894th time. Bastard.

I'm not sure about Allen's overall philosophy, but the point of this film seems to be that people are ultimately practical. Though Allen and Farrow clearly get along, she ends up making the practical decision and choosing the handsome, superficial, yet successful flake over him. The eye doctor also struggles with romantic feelings and with guilt, but ultimately he decides that he can go on living and that those feelings are do pass.

Wow - I really enjoyed that - Although I don't agree with every point I found the production value to be very good, and the analysis well above noteworthy!

I think he is a pessimist. Most of characters suffer because of their preconceptions.

[MattIAm1987]

That seems to be the central question here. When there is no outside judgement, when we are the only ones left to interrogate that which we do, will we appropriate proper punishment? Or will we sweep our sins under the rug?

Anyways. Great analysis.

We almost always take the easy route. If not caught, we can objectify anything, and by doing so find a reason.

[MattIAm1987]

It seems you tied up Woody's storyline and Landau's storyline as both being indicative of a search for closure. Be it in this perfect, romantic hope for a significant other ... or an omniscient God, who by virtue of his judgement and his watchful eye, bring organization and morality and justice into the world. Of course, by the end, Landau has abandoned his thought of God and he alone is left to judge his sins by his own eye.
