1 I thought that Wilde's bitterness and vicious tongue were invincible in the world, but then I discovered that Woody Allen was not inferior. If he and Wilde fight each other, it will definitely be the best debate game in the world. Although the aestheticist Wilde is likely to dismiss Woody for not looking good enough and disdain to argue with him: (

2 At the beginning of the movie, Colin Shu kissed his fiancee’s forehead and said: your logic and common sense equal mine and you have adding quality, you are beautiful...At the
end of the movie, in the contrast between the noble, intelligent and elegant fiancée and Sophie's uneducated, literate, and unassuming temperament, he said the most unreasonable and most reasonable words in the world: Sophie's smile has penetrated my soul, and
we must find a reason to truly embrace life and for me sophie is that reason.
a very rational countless experience, he is known only sane man in the world who actually looking for a girl uneducated charlatan As my own reason, this is not a Korean drama. It tells the girls how important it is to look beautiful.
Even in the former possibility, after talking about the importance of brain matching, they also mentioned beauty. In
summary No matter whether the girl has a brain or not, she must be good-looking.

3 Thinking of "The Purple Rose of Cairo", the rich and handsome star finally did not remember the Cinderella in front of the screen and the promise he had made. I was sad for a while. Later I got used to it. After Woody showed all the romantic beauty and broke it mercilessly, he didn't have any good hopes for this movie. I almost burst into tears when I saw the last two kiss together. Although these two people It doesn’t seem so logical to cultivate love, but people like me will always love happy endings. Grandpa Woody doesn’t want to be so harsh on the world when he gets older, and everything that can be done will be done.

4 Although Colin Shu said that Life is not fair, life is even nasty, but the lovely aunt in the movie said: The world may or may not be without purpose, but it's not totally without some kind of magic. Woody Allen's movie There seems to have never been such a gentle sentence. It seems that you said a serious thing to a person, then turned around and calmed down a few words.

5 Sometimes I even wonder if Woody Allen's tenderness is also ironic. Whatever he said seemed to be mocking. He mocks everyone in the movie, he mocks life itself. I am particularly curious what his epitaph will be.

6 Did Nietzsche really say we need our illusions to live? I will not tell you that I have never seen Nietzsche.

7 This movie gathered all the points that touched me: wisdom, beauty, poisonous tongue, cute uncle, fascinating photography, happy ending. I am such a superficial person. I am still a person who judges people by appearance. Although Wilde said, only superficial people do not judge people by appearance. It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances.

8 If I should need a reason to embrace my life, I think movie shall be that reason.

Magic in the Moonlight quotes

  • Stanley: The comparison makes me laugh! Olivia is a person of accomplishment and charm. Sophie's a street finagler who makes her way living off one bit of hokum to the next.

    Aunt Vanessa: Well, I don't see how you can compare the two.

    Stanley: Well, don't put ideas into my head!

    Aunt Vanessa: Well, far be it from me!

    Stanley: Of course, she does come from dire circumstances. I mean, it's very easy to be judgmental about people who are born into circumstances less fortunate than one's own.

    Aunt Vanessa: Well, life is harsh. One must do what one must to survive.

    Stanley: Well put. And people do sometimes make the wrong choices, which they regret, even though no serious harm was done.

    Aunt Vanessa: Which of us has not made some blunders in life?

    Stanley: And there is a rather appealing quality about Sophie. Despite her disgusting behaviour.

    Aunt Vanessa: Yes, her smile is rather winning. Of course, it depends how much value you put on the purely physical.

    Stanley: Well, no, I... I, for one, esteem the higher virtues.

    Aunt Vanessa: Hmm... Beauty of the soul...

    Stanley: Although her eyes are rather pleasant to look into. And that she can be amusing, under the right circumstances.

    Aunt Vanessa: Oh, but Olivia is an educated, cultivated woman. One that befits a man of your artistic genius.

    Stanley: Yes, now, my genius must be factored in. On paper, there's really no reason to prefer Sophie to Olivia.

    Aunt Vanessa: Well, I would say the opposite.

    Stanley: ...And so your, your suggestion that I, I be honest with Olivia and tell her that as irrational as it seems, I've fallen in love with, with Sophie - that's a preposterous notion.

    Aunt Vanessa: It's lunacy.

    Stanley: ...Yet I can't help feeling that...

    Aunt Vanessa: ...That you love Sophie. Yes, I understand. You're puzzled and bewildered; because your foolish logic tells you that you should love Olivia.

    Stanley: Foolish logic?

    Aunt Vanessa: And yet, how little that logic means when placed next to Sophie's smile...

    Stanley: What are you saying?

    Aunt Vanessa: ...That the world may or may not be without purpose, but it's not totally without some kind of magic.

    Stanley: ...I have irrational positive feelings for Sophie Baker. It's like witnessing a trick I can't figure out.
