Isn't it enough to be touched by the bursting of hearts of the elderly and young girls!

Seeing that the score is so low, I can't help but say a few words.

In the middle of the night near the early hours of the morning, I lay in bed and watched this long-awaited movie. Although it is dark all around, I have the rippling mood of savoring delicious macarons in a Michelin restaurant in the warm afternoon.

The story is really old-fashioned, but the story of Cinderella is one you will never tire of. Straight guys, do you understand? And the most wonderful part of love is that it happens in the impossible—that's the magic of love. Abandoning reason and chasing unequal love in the world is what human nature loves to hear. Besides, the scenery is so beautiful! The music is so beautiful! The lines are so beautiful! Uncle Colin is so beautiful! Emma Stone's clothes are so beautiful! As a romantic sketch, I think this score is really too low...Look at the score of "Pride and Prejudice", I feel it is not worth it for Woody Allen.

I really like this script. It is small but exquisite, exuding wisdom and sparkling sophistry. Many people say that Woody Allen is getting worse and worse, but I don’t think so... an old man presents his thoughts and thoughts for nearly a century in the movie. He is eager to tell those about society, about spirit, about Philosophical thinking. For him, the structure of the script has become perfect, and the shooting method has been so perfect. The important thing is to fill in what he wants to say. He obviously no longer has any ambitions. Is a movie without ambition necessarily a movie without level? Does a movie without the dark side of pain and tears must not be profound and become a movie of Jiang Lang's talents? At least I think it’s easy to make a profound and timeless movie with shots piled up with ordinary language, but a movie with lines and words will at least never make the audience boring. The lines in "Magic Moonlight" are flavorful, consistent with Woody Allen's style. He said "we are just poor limited human beings, like gold fish doesn't know who changes water in its bowl". Should we believe that life is nothing or believe in the existence of divine power? He did not give us a clear answer. On the one hand, he vaguely favors Nietzsche's "God is dead". On the other hand, he tells us that there are some magics beyond common sense in the small life itself, and love is one of them.

Although this old man who lived in his seventies or eighties actually delivered the unnutritious message of "the world of beauty, the food is the best", isn't it enough that the heart of the elderly and young girls is bursting?

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.
