after watching

I haven't seen such a cool movie in a long time. I have also seen several Woody Allen films, such as Jasmine in Paris and Barcelona, ​​and like this film, they are all simple and simple stories that tell a small romance. But this movie really made me a science student from head to toe.

Not to mention that Uncle Lian is my male god, just the sarcasm and rants of the dead rational school one after another can make me laugh like no one else is shaking in the movie hall of a bunch of old men and women. Especially Sophie's "did you ever seen me as a woman" regressing to "as a female" just can't make me empathize anymore. The best thing is that my male god is still rude at this time, and he also puts on an unbelievable look of "are we talking about the same thing". Uncle Gu Liang is already quite pitiful, can you stop hurting her?

Some people say it's a version of Pride and Prejudice, but I don't think so. Although Uncle has the face of Mr. Darcy, he is more talkative than Mr. Darcy. When Darcy proposed, there was a saying, "Although you're not good enough, I'm still happy to give you this offer", but is there anyone who goes to auntie's house like uncle and complains about Guliang? So it's at best Sense and Sensibility (I haven't read that book, but the name sounds like it). I think, the collision of sensibility and sensibility is hypocritical, the collision of rationality and rationality is partnership, and only the mixture of sensibility and rationality can breed love.

However, would a nonbeliever and a dead rationalist like Uncle really give up his fiancee who totally matched up for a goddess? Would it really be serious to ask God with his hands folded and his little heart over his head? This romantic happy ending is simply unbearable!

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.
