Having a penchant for humor and wit, Woody Allen still stands strong for his age in the entertainment industry and is respected by the world for his ability to express his feelings and emotions using slapstick humor. Magnificently endowed in the field of creativity, Allen has made a mark not only as a comedian but also as an actor, director, playwright, and jazz musician. In his five-decade-long career, Allen has given the world numerous movies and theatrical works that are going to be influential and inspirational for the sheer sense of novelty and ingenuity that they carry. His long list of works has touched the various genres of humor, right from slapstick to satirical and even dark comedy. Interestingly, the actual personality of Allen is very different from what he puts up on stage, as a neurotic, nervous, and intellectual person. He carries the same persona for the big screen as well. For most of his movies, Allen has drawn inspiration from literature, philosophy, psychology, Judaism, European cinema, and New York City. It is due to his sheer aptitude in filmmaking that he has been known the world over as one of the most prolific and gifted filmmakers of the modern era.
