This is one of my favorite Woody Allen scenes. It comes toward the end of Manhattan, Woody’s tour de force about relationships and life in Manhattan circa the late 1970s. It’s a stunningly shot movie, especially the black and white cityscapes set to the tunes of George Gershwin. It’s gorgeous and I always feel good when I’m done watching it. I love this scene for it’s concept -naming what you love about life- and for the way it is shot. I also especially love the tape recorder.

I have been browsing on-line more than three
hours today, yet I by no means discovered any attention-grabbing
article like yours. It is lovely value sufficient for me. In my opinion,
if all webmasters and bloggers made excellent content as you did,
the net can be a lot more useful than ever before.
