This is something that many people have dreamed of, falling in love with their favorite characters and also falling in love with a real person, God, I need it too!

The characters in the play say: The imaginary people want to live a real life, and the real people want to live an imaginary life. This sentence is quite interesting, because it is true

The outline of the story is roughly as follows:

Cecilia is a sincere and submissive woman who loves movies and yearns for a good relationship, but in reality she has a husband who is prone to domestic violence, living on her salary and has blatantly cheating with other women (what a long attribution...), she has I doubted my husband's love, but was always persuaded by him. Finally, she met Tom Baxter in the play. Although Tom is a virtual character on the screen, he loves Cecilia wholeheartedly, and he makes her fully feel respected. And the taste of being loved, so Cecilia finally grew into a woman who resolutely resisted everything.

She also fell in love with Tom, but at this time Gil in the real world used his confession to make Cecilia fall in love with him too. In the end, when making a decision, the reason Gil beat Tom was because he was not real, but Tom also truly respected Cecilia. (Tom is a good man, he is brave, sincere, frank, know how to love and respect, even if he was hugely tempted by the women standing on the street, he did not waver) It turned out that he fell in love with the freedom of the real world and chose to return to the screen , complete Cecilia

I thought that Cecilia and Gil would go to Hollywood to live a longing life, but Gil also flew away when Tom went back to the screen. It turned out that everything he showed falling in love with Cecilia was just to coax Tom back into the screen. The golden career that took off caused troubles. Knowing this cruel fact, Cecilia returned to the theater again, with a broken dream, and the last tears looked a bit bleak

Although the person in reality is real, his feelings are fake. Although the person in the story is fake, his feelings are genuine.

True and false are not what is seen on the surface

    Woody Allen said: "Life is too short, why bother?" But this ending is too sad. Fantasy, impulsive, and constant. Finally back to the starting point. There is also a feeling that some people's real lives are made up of one movie after another. I hope that this person's ending can be a little happier, and that the Cairo purple rose in this person's hands will never wither.

    Every choice of the protagonist is destined to be futile. Woody Allen is still ruthless and appropriate in his eloquent narration. The beautiful illusion of the movie and the cold cruelty of reality seem to be distinct in the story, but this film uses This so-called fantasy speaks to the subtlest of reality, where Woody Allen uses his cunning to succeed in depicting what appears to be a high-hanging, soulful, private feeling.
