1975 Movie Post

Movie Overview:
In this movie the audience travels through the strange life of Alfred Winslow. The story comes in when he meets the overbearing but intelligent Jenny Spillers that piques his interest. As they get to know each other the history of the 1970s is spayed out in the background of the story as they speak about the world they live in. Winslow makes a mistake and loses they only girl he really cared about. He spends a great deal of time searching for his lost companion and lives to see her once again. Once he reunited with her he finds that she has become a new woman. She's changed and learned to live normally, something he could never fully do. He loses himself to drinking and finds that he was better off without love. Or maybe not....

Genre/Style:
Sentimentality/Drama-Realistic sentimentality that picks at your brain and just enough flavor and spicy drama to keep you on your toes and willing to watch.

Message: Life has a funny way of messing with you. Love has an even funnier way of messing with you.

Title: Living for the Girl
Woody Allen's movie often have a lead female character that has sway over his quirky character. This story is all about the strange relationship of Allen and Keaton's characters.

Director: Woody Allen
Woody Allen has continued to be an amazing director when it comes to film and in the 70s he made some good ones, both before and after 1975. His style is very particular and his technique outstanding.

Cast: Woody Allen ad Diane Keaton
I chose these two because they are known to work well together based on past movies that Allen and Keaton acted together in like Sleeper and countless others. These two have done great work together and they continued to do so after 1975. (Annie Hall and Manhattan)

Crew: Robert Surtees as Cinematographer
Surtees has won many academy awards in the 70s and has a great record when it comes to showing off a movie. Woody Allen, known for doing cool things with his movies, must have a good cinematographer like Surtees.


Studio: United Artists: MGM
I had to choose this studio due to Woody Allen specifically producing all of his prior movies out of MGM. United Artists because they made some great movies that I've seen such as Annie Hall and Manhattan


Rating: R for restricted
Due to some of the themes and language of usual Woody Allen films the rating is made R.

THIS Story:
I chose this story because the story still allows for realistic truths of life which seemed to be a common theme in the 70s. The movie is not an escapist film as most 1970s films were not such. The film is more realistic and quirky.
