These days I watched a movie named Anything Else. Through this movie I know the director and the actor Woody Allen. I think he is a very talented man and he is really good at telling stories. Then I searched a lot of his movies and watched them. There is a common point is he really love talking, actually I don’t like a person talk too much, but I don’t hate him. I think this is because he has high IQ and his talent, and sometimes the stories are interesting. I searched his introduction online then I knew he had written funny stories since he was fifteen, and started to write some newspaper columnists under the name Woody Allen. He also performed a lot of comedies which was he wrote. I feel that comedies will be very funny since I saw the name, like “ How’s the cat” and “Don’t drink that water “. (30 min)
