Comedy

Fictional documentary about the life of human chameleon Leonard Zelig, a man who becomes a celebrity in the 1920s due to his ability to look and act like whoever is around him. Clever editing places Zelig in real newsreel footage of Woodrow Wilson, Babe Ruth, and others.

zelig isn'y woody's bets film but it does contain the best special effects in any of his movies. allen is seamlessly placed into photos and film clips from previous decades that is done so well it still looks incredible today. and they had no cgi back then, crazy... it's also done in the style of a documentary which officially makes it a mockumentary, which also makes it one of the first mockumentary's to ever come out, another thing that makes the movie stand the test of time. while it's not woody's bets film by a mile, it is still fun and clever and smart and funny and sweet and memorable... read more

伪文献伪纪录片拍摄的奇幻超现实主义喜剧题材应该说是最富想象力和创造力的电影了。可以说是符合任何年代社会的一种成功必须具备的人生观。原来伍迪·艾伦才是伪纪录片鼻祖，真是不容错过的惊喜之作。 read more
