[Marxism] Woody Allen's Manhattan

[Louis Proyect <lnp3@xxxxxxxxx>]

So he perpetuated the dream in his own films, ones he can temporarily live
in himself. "My conception of Manhattan was based strictly on Hollywood
movies, and the Manhattan I grew up loving was a Manhattan that appeared
only on the silver screen: the grand nightclubs, the penthouses, the people
dressing for dinner in tuxedoes in their own home at night, the champagne
corks popping, the people wandering through Central Park romantically at 2
o'clock in the morning. All of this was from Hollywood movies. So the New
York and Manhattan that I've given the world through my movies has been my
Manhattan conceived from films, rather than actual apartments and
neighborhoods.
