      "Midnight in Paris"--Poetic Reality


      The weather in Guangzhou in the past two days has been very Lille-like, a bit wet and cold, which makes me miss France very much. I once told many friends that the reason why there are so many philosophers in Europe is probably inseparable from the cold weather. I spent most of the year on cloudy days, and it was especially depressing when it rained. I used to hate this kind of weather so much, but now I miss it. In...

      It's entirely the director's own obscenity

      That year's Oscar season's "Midnight in Barcelona" drove me crazy, this year's Oscar's "Midnight in Paris" made me speechless, and was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director (and finally won the Best Original Screenplay, Damn, isn't this encouraging nonsense! Even the Guangxi General Administration will not allow domestic time-travel dramas to make up history again). Paris has no more content than Barcelona, ​​it is boring and empty, and all kinds of literati and pranksters are revolving...

      If I fall in love with fantasy.

      Everyone said that "Midnight in Paris" was Woody Allen's first love poem to Paris, and the long shot that slowly opened was Paris in the rain. The abundant and spicy rain brought a blurred and sad romance to the city. No, it's not just dripping corner flower shops, Cole Porter's LET IT DO floating in the flea market, and more romantic, artistic.
      There is nothing beautiful in the Floral Cafe, the beauty is only people's imagination: Hemingway stared at the people passing by with eagle eyes,...

      8.5 points

      If someone says that [Midnight in Paris] is Woody Allen's best work in the past decade, this praise is definitely not an exaggeration. The film is full of the romance and wit of the creators of art and literature. The lines are not only lengthy and arrogant, but also reveal Woody Allen's natural film aesthetics. Although it is only halfway through 2011, I still have to say that [Midnight in Paris] is the best and most comfortable movie I have seen this year....

      Golden Age

      Although it is an old man's film
      , the male protagonist is really an actor I don't like very much, so I was a little
      repulsive before
      watching it, and I really didn't like it very much after watching it.
      Owen Wilson is better to continue to play his rotten comedy . The highlights are all in the supporting roles, the great artists are overwhelmed , Adrien Brody's Dali is instantly captivating, it's so funny, and it 's a journey through a YY everyone's escaping the golden age...

      The movie can see Woody Allen's perfect description of the "Golden Age" in everyone's mind, and it can also be seen that the 1920s is the era he most yearns for, but in the end we should face reality and face the present, because now is forever. Is the golden age (for...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The film is the 41st feature film of Woody Allen and the opening film of the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. It was also released in France on the same day. This is not the first time Woody Allen's film has been the opening film of Cannes. In 2002, his film "Hollywood Ending" was also the opening film.
    The film was shot on the John XXIII Square in Paris and the nearby Siti Island.
    The film is Woody Allen's first film completely shot in Paris....

    Positive review

    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. ("Guardian" review)
    "Midnight in Paris" is easily reminiscent of Woody Allen's another film "The Purple Rose of Cairo", where...

    "Midnight in Paris" did not get the expected hot discussion. Although there are some surreal plots of "time travel" in the film, people are still accustomed to Woody Allen's films, characters, stories, themes, and methods of storytelling, and even the media's evaluation is tepid. (From the movie network)
    The film looks like a fragment of "Paris, I Love You" has been stretched into a feature film. The bare film is both boring and...

    Movie quotes

    • Inez: You always take the side of the help. That's why Daddy says you're a communist.

    • Gil: Gil Pender.

      Ernest Hemingway: Hemingway.

      Gil: Hemingway?

      Ernest Hemingway: You liked my book?

      Gil: Liked? I loved all of your work.

      Ernest Hemingway: Yes. It was a good book because it was an honest book, and that's what war does to men. And there's nothing fine and noble about dying in the mud unless you die gracefully. And then it's not only noble but brave.

    • Gil: You can fool me, but you cannot fool Ernest Hemingway!
