In the United States, film is a lucrative industry; but in France, film is an art. This is why Woody Allen’s film puts the story background in Paris. He depicts an imaginary Paris, a Paris on a postcard, not a real Paris. The guest appearance of the French First Lady in the film also added to the film a lot.review)
"Midnight in Paris" is easily reminiscent of Woody Allen's another film "The Purple Rose of Cairo", where falsehood and reality are intertwined, and the characters are in a dilemma between ideal and reality.review)
"Midnight in Paris" is a wonderful love letter written by Woody Allen to Paris. In this film, he explored the relationship between France and the United States, history, art, life, excitement, and the differences in people's life choices.
"Midnight Paris" is Woody Allen's "Midnight Barcelona", another "Midnight Series" filmed entirely in Europe. In the film, Woody Allen compares Paris to a day. At different times of the day, Paris has different "personality" and "appearance". Paris in the morning is beautiful, full of charm in the afternoon, and fascinating in the evening, while Paris at midnight is magical.
