Zelig is full of Allen's style, using a lot of ironic, on the dialogs and the history that he created.
Leonard Zelig is somoene who has the incredible hability to transform himself as the people who's around him (like a Chameleon).

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.

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 80’s (835 movies items)

" Leonard Zelig, the "human chameleon", is profiled in this mock-documentary. Director Woody Allen appears as Zelig in scenes that purport to be vintage newsreel clips of the 1920s and 1930s, but are actually clever recreations, "aged" and scratched-up Citizen Kane-style by special-effects maestros Joel Hynick, Stuart Robinson and R.
