Im pretty sure I just fell in love with Woody Allen all over again! This movie is so saturated in comedy. We've got slapstick, deadpan, verbal, black, screwball, parody and satire. In the scene where they first wake him up after being asleep for 200 years there is a lot of deadpan and slapstick. He doesn't quite know how to walk, and the doctors try to make him look as normal as possible. the doctors are so deadpan, not even laughing, and Woody Allen is literally running over their toes in a wheel chair. there is a lot of verbal comedy between Woody Allen and Diane Keaton. They go back and forth and back and forth bickering, one minute friends the next foe and then back again. I found the parts where they kill/erase peoples brains for talking to Woody Allen, was funny, very black. You can tell that so many movies have used inspiration from this film, and have almost done parodies of this film. In Austin Powers, they wake him up 20 years later, after he had been frozen in the 70s, and they have him "fight crime". I thought that the "miss America" brain washing scene, was very similar to the one that happens in Zoolander! What i liked about this movie was how Woody Allen actually did a lot of science fiction research. i thought it was also funny how he decided to depict the people in the future. they were all so stupid, and had PHD's in things like Oral Sex and massage.
