Woody Allen is an American film director, writer, actor, and comedian whose career spans more than six decades.
Described by film critic Roger Ebert as “a treasure of the cinema”, Allen has received numerous accolades and honors, including dozens of Academy Award nominations (16 for Best Original Screenplay alone), winning four (one for Best Director and three for Best Original Screenplay). He has also won nine British Academy Film Awards, The BAFTA Fellowship, and the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award. He was also nominated for a Tony Award (for Bullets Over Broadway) and a Grammy (for his 1964 comedy album, Woody Allen).
The Writers Guild of America named his screenplay for Annie Hall first on its list of the "101 Funniest Screenplays". In 2004 Comedy Central ranked Allen fourth on a list of the 100 greatest stand-up comedians, while a UK survey ranked Allen the third-greatest comedian.
Woody Allen is also a jazz musician whose band plays New Orleans style jazz at the Carlyle Hotel in Manhattan regularly.
Along with Martin Scorsese, Allen created The Film Foundation, a nonprofit film preservation organization that collaborates with film studios to restore prints of old or damaged films.
Allen has also penned thirteen Broadway theater productions and directed six. He has released six comedy albums and is also the author of six books, including his most recent memoir, Apropos of Nothing.

    I must admit I haven't seen a single movie of Woody Allen due to growing up in a strict, dysfunctional, religious household. Now, being almost 50 years old, I am enjoying as much as I can catching up with all that I missed. Thank You both!!!

    I see movies as probably the highest form of art our society produces. So many people with so many different talents working in concert to produce a movie; the writer, the director, actors, cinematographers, editors, and so on all having to do a good job. If just one of those disciplines does a bad job it can ruin the entire movie. When you think about Woody taking on so many of those burdens, writing, acting, directing and his movies come out so well. It is a testament to his talent even if he is overly modest about himself.

    I totally agree with your point about Camus, I think that the Myth of Sysiphus is a metaphor for human life, especially when Camus ends the essay saying that we have to think that Sysiphus is happy. This is especially true for artists. The world is ransom and absurd. We each find our own meaning. In the case of a filmmaker, when he's finished a film, the rock has rolled to the top of the hill, and he's happy. Now he has to go back down the hill and begin the process all over again, begin his next film, begin rolling the rock up the hill.

    @@ckfuyou2 @Miss May / I'm sorry, but both of you are wrong! Of course Soon-Yi is NOT Woody's adopted daughter! And Woody & that crazy Farrow were never married. They always lived separately. Even more, Woody never ever spent 1 single night at that crazy house. Read Apropos of Nothing and the articles from Moses, Soon-Yi and Bob Weide. Soon-Yi is NOT Woody's adopted daughter (in which country do you think this is allowed?) Soon-Yi is Woody's wife for more than a quarter of a century! The herd accuses Woody just because of his love for Soon-Yi, nothing more. But Soon-Yi and Woody are two adults that love each other, are very strong and happy as a couple, have formed a beautiful family (have 2 adopted beautiful intelligent daughters) and don't care about what you, me or the herd think about them. Cheers!

    When he asked him the question about school I kept thinking, "I run a profitable dress company." "I run Pinkus Plumbing company." "I sell talles." "I'm into leather." "I used to be a heroin addict but now I'm a methadone addict." And then I thought, "Don't listen to what your teachers tell you ... just see what they look like and that's how you'll know what life is really gonna be like. You heard it here first.” Obviously I love Woody Allen!

He makes laugh even when he’s talking about dark, depressing things. We’re so lucky to be around during his time.

    Woody Allen is the best Director that has ever lived. EVERYTHING in his movies is perfect. The camera placement and focus, the music, the story, the lighting, the wonderful and shocking insights into humanity. His musical talent and the balance and harmony in his work speaks massively, not just of his skill but of his character, his spiritual resonance.

    38:00 I don't find him dull. A point of interest is that more than 14,000 people tuned in to hear the interview and the interview has only been on 6 days. I was lucky enough to see him perform in Hamburg Germany and it was very enchanting. The opera house was completely sold out. He knew the real reason why everyone came to see him. So after the concert he came alone out on the stage and talked heart to heart to everyone. He talked about 10 minutes and entertained everyone with Woody Allen humor. (Press Read more) I read his book "Apropos of Nothing" and if you read between the lines, he was always helping someone in some way. A real nice guy.

    It's so amusing to see Woody to wrestle with so much negativity in life, he feels so bad, and yet he helps us all humans to find life more acceptable and beautiful thanks to his films. While I also share his thoughts on his school years as not feeling to have been good at it, and yet he has done so well without having had good studies. While I was never as successful as he has been, in my life I also have done plenty of things other people find daring and interesting that have made my life happy, even though I was not great at school when young either. I also had a hard time reading but when I turned 12 I began to read full time and enjoyed it so much when I discovered the books that treated themes I was very curious about.
