Can any film guru here remember the buildings appeared in Woody Allen's Annie Hall?
I'll be honest, I'm doing an essay on architecture themes of his couple of films. But I can't exactly remember any particular scenes on the buildings in NY city; ( the only scene I can remember is the St. Bernard's School in the west village, but it seems not what I want) ....
I'm a student from UK, don;t know NY's architecture too much, but most of guys here from US, so I'll appreciate it if anyone would like to help me.

I love the smell of a unneeded topic in the morning. Smells like....A redirect.
The Beatles know Jesus Christ has returned to Earth and is in Los Angeles.

ooh, come on ,man! No more jokes, I need help, absolutley!
the essay suppose to explore how filmmaker use film as a medium to develop the conception of the architecture... (well maybe this question sounds too ambitious)
and my essay is trying to have comparsions of Match Point in London and Annie Hall in NY city....
did i really make any sense or nonsense here?
:doh:

Not to sound flippant, but I believe those are the Twin Towers.

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

pubrick's advice worked out well
"The myth by no means finds its adequate objectification in the spoken word. The structure of the scenes and the visible imagery reveal a deeper wisdom than the poet himself is able to put into words and concepts" – Friedrich Nietzsche

Speaking of pubrick, does anyone know where is he now?  I haven't seen him on here for a while.
"A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later." --Stanley Kubrick

Pubrick can see it, my first language is really not English. I've been using this forum for a  month, but it seems that the first post was really annoying, sorry about this...  I do intend to stick around and i'll go to 'introduce urself' saying hello there...

you may have been here for a month, but 4 out of your 5 posts are in your  "do my homework for me" thread.

Obviously what you are doing right now is called (in my upcoming book of psychology at least) validation. I think it's a normal thing to do. People will reply, say anything, and then you're gonna do what you were subconsciently thinking of doing all along.

Why don't you use Hannah and Her Sisters rather than Annie Hall.  There's a scene in which Sam Waterston, who plays an architect, gives a tour of his favorite buildings.

Check imdb, which sometimes gives info about specific locations for films.

I would also go to the bookstore or library and look at books about New York architecture.  There are plenty of books about this subject.  Also, there are a few books about Woody Allen, you will probably find some good information there.

Then there's google.  Put in "architecture & Woody Allen films" and see what comes up.

I hope this is helpful.
