Perhaps Woody Allen is the Loriot Hollywood. The man who brings millions of people not so often the loud laugh, but smile, smile and nod. This nod, as if you would say yes, exactly as it is
Here are Woody Allen’s movies do not actually real life, with him it’s always about the other, the abnormal, crazy. – and thus perhaps real life. This Tuesday (December 1st) is the man whose life itself is as crazy as one of his films, 80
Woody Allen is the incarnate stereotype of New York Jews. Lanky, educated, intellectually, creatively , full of self-doubt and melancholy, even depression. So for more than half a century, he plays the same role that the lovable but hapless loser who wants to fight really only through the world and life. So a sort of Charlie Brown in the Jews. “Nebbish” so called a jinx in Yiddish and the character Woody Allen is the decal for it.
As this Woody Allen grew up, he was still called Allan Stewart Konigsberg and in his Orthodox Jewish family was Yiddish and even a little German spoken. “My mother always said that I was a very happy child until I was five,” he flirted once with his childhood in which he had already become a brooder. And indeed he followed as a young man the stereotype of New York intellectuals and went to a psychoanalyst. It is simultaneously claustrophobic just as have claustrophobia. How can one cope with life
But there is a medicine: “Filmmaking is a good distraction from the agonies of life,” the “City Euro sufferers” once and productive and creative, he has always been , Even at school he wrote satirical contributions for newspapers, then for television and for comedians like Bob Hope and with 30 he had already belonged to the most famous clowns of the USA, the per occurrence could collect thousands of dollars. If Allen stood with the black glasses behind the microphone, there was this uncertainty, almost anxiety for life. But there were no jokes, but joke. Allen held rather monologues and invented the maxim of all stand-up comedians: “. It’s funny because it’s true” What there in New York came to him, Jerry Seinfeld or today Louis CK, which are basically the children of Woody Allen.
Oh, children. With his longtime partner Mia Farrow he adopted a boy and a girl, and Allen is considered the father of Farrow’s son Satchel. She had assumed the Korean foundling Soon-Yi – and made for scenes that would be too crazy even for an Allen film. Allen fell in love with the 35 years younger girl and broke as the relationship with Farrow, followed not only a mudslinging, they accused him also that he had abused her daughter Dylan. However, Allen was never alone with the child and the court found the allegations of the Seven Years’ were rehearsed. Acquittal, but Allen’s image was gone. Especially since he contracted with Farrow’s adopted daughter Soon-Yi and 1997 she also married -. He 61, she 26, both adopted later two girls
He found that was “with the best thing that ever happened to me” , Others found it all rather embarrassing and the golden era of Woody Allen, the time in which he created the film legends such as “The City Euro sufferers” or “Manhattan,” “Hannah and Her Sisters” or “Crimes and Misdemeanors” is over. Here, Allen has really only got reinvented, went to Europe and turned in Barcelona and in London and in Paris, because even with the president’s wife Carla Bruni.
And now, with 80, he has once again ” made too much “as the” “said Berliner Zeitung: A television series. The he will produce for Amazon and it is “the bane of my life.” No wonder, it is Allen’s first production – not only as a director or actor, the first ever “I’ve never seen a television series in life and not before, to do it.”
If one with 80 at the death? Woody Allen makes it for decades. “I have no fear of death. I want not only to be there when it happens, “he said once. Although Allen is already a legend, but also because he finds a problem: “The other day someone said to me that I will continue to live in the hearts of my countrymen. But I want to live in my apartment! “
