Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

theoneandonlyjimmypage Who would have thought that science would eventually tell us that the best things for "ya" are smoking cigarettes, chocolate and barbecued steaks? Who would believe a totalitarian world where everyone just goes along with, nobody caring about, anything? People have sex with orbs and chambers. Robots serve all. Dystopia!Your prophets beware...this movie is funny. Our only hope is i in a small minded health food clerk placed in suspended animation two centuries earlier.Woody Allen is at his Best.

suite92 The Three Acts: The initial tableaux: In 1973, clarinetist and health food store owner Miles Monroe goes to hospital for a minor operation to repair ulcer damage. In 2173, he is revived from cryogenic stasis by rebel physicians.Just as his orientation starts to succeed, the police raid the health facility; his revival was illegal.To escape, Miles disguises himself as a robotic servant. He is delivered to the house of citizen Luna Schlossel, who assigns him tasks that illustrate life in 2173.Delineation of conflicts: The State, under the direction of The Leader, seeks to have everyone fully assimilated into society. Miles kidnaps Luna to escape yet another police raid. Luna is initially loyal to the State, but when captured and threatened with mind wipe, she converts to the rebel cause.Miles is captured, but not before Luna escapes with his help. Miles is assimilated by the State. Luna finds the resistance, and becomes enamored of Enro, the resistance boss, and with his ideology. By the time Luna and Miles meet again, their positions have reversed, and he does not remember her.Erno tasks Luna with getting Miles to the rebel camp. They set about restoring Miles' memory. Erno sends Luna and Miles to stop the Aries project. The State, of course, has other ideas. Miles' jealousy threatens the rebel mission.Resolution: The showdown is about the fate of the Aries project (not sure about the spelling here; I think I auto-corrected it).

lasttimeisaw "What happened to her face?", about 38 minutes into this Woody Allen Sci-fi parody SLEEPER, audience can distinctly notice there is something drooping on the left cheek of Luna (Keaton), a make-up goof? How come this scene has been kept in the final editing? Nobody knows but Allen himself. From this angle, it actually bespeaks the half-hearted style of the movie and declares "don't take me too seriously please!". In retrospect SLEEPER doesn't stand out among Allen's works, but indeed it is the watershed in his career since afterward (from LOVE & DEATH, 1975) his films has matured into a realm with a more sophisticated and judicious calibre about urbanite relationship philosophy which modern viewers are more familiar with, other than his earlier light-hearted and sex-obsessed farces launch his long-lasting career. Also simply the idea of Woody Allen directs a Sci-fi movie alone sounds inviting enough for me.Woody Allen is Miles Monroe, a store owner and divorcée in 1973, being revived out of cryostasis after 200 years, where autocracy has dumbed down human's intelligence. When he is on the lam as an alien wanted by the government, he meets Luna Schlosser, a well- behaved citizen, a self-claimed poet with a degree in oral sex, Miles falls for her, and together, they will eventually sabotage a final attempt of cloning the dictator from his nose, the last remnant of his body. Although only possessing a shoestring budget, Allen constructs the future-world with a strong influence of futurism, although the settings look chintzy in sight by today's standards, the film does stick with its wack-a-doodle mockery right from Monroe is awaken from his aluminum wrap, with many homages and references to past screen classics, theatrical pieces and slapstick burlesques. Sex is the unalterable wont in Allen's mindset, as he emphasises in the coda, sex and death are the only things he believes in. The most ridiculous props are the pleasure orb and the sex booth where two people can achieve orgasm in 10 seconds, Monroe has tried once, not with Luna, but with himself. The quarrelsome mode of Allen and Keaton forms a nice congruity which would later stride on to perfection in ANNIE HALL (1977, 9/10). Escorting the screwball plot is the ragtime score composed by Allen himself, a suitable company as Miles is an amateur musician in a jazz band too, altogether SLEEPER is definitely undemanding in viewers' brainpower to grasp its mockery of superficiality and social politics, but an insouciant cruise in a meaningless fiction, sometimes one might feel too silly to be keen on what is materialising on the screen, unfortunately that is not a sign of a great film in my book.

SnoopyStyle Miles Monroe (Woody Allen) was frozen in 1973 and rediscovered 200 years later. He's a clarinet player who ran a health food store. He has been revived by anti-government scientists who opposed the dictatorial leader. The world is completely changed. The rebels want Miles to infiltrate the leader's mysterious "Aries Project" because he has no identity. When the authorities capture the rebels, Miles escape into this futuristic world. He disguise himself as a robot butler in socialite Luna Schlosser (Diane Keaton)'s home. He later kidnaps her and fall in love. It's outlandish, silly and most importantly fun. There is wacky slapstick comedy and pointed commentary. The 70s style sci-fi and the pop culture references are dated. Nevertheless, it's still loads of fun broad comedy.
