This is a movie about a movie, a story that takes place in a movie theater. The advantage of this is that it can give people a sense of hierarchy and experience sensory experience in different levels of space. The heroine of the film is a restaurant waiter during the Great Depression in the United States. With such an inconspicuous identity, she begins the follow-up story of two love stories between reality and fiction. Comedy form and lonely ending are the most common combination of Woody films. Cecilia can't see her own way out in life, so she chooses to go to the cinema every day to see Cairo Purple Rose. Her choice is not to find the meaning of life or a way out from the movie, but more to escape the disappointment of real life. She is briefly immersed in a romantic comedy like Cairo Purple Rose, so that she can temporarily escape from reality. Unemployment, alcoholism, domestic violence, and a cheating husband keep her temporarily away from her real life. Rather than a choice between reality and fantasy, it is better to say that Cecilia never had the right and courage to choose.

The Purple Rose of Cairo quotes

  • Cecilia's Sister: The one that I liked is "Okay, America!"

    Cecilia: Oh, yeah! I saw that twice. That was great! When she threatens to kill Lew Ayers.

    Cecilia's Sister: I love Lew Ayers looks! Do you think he's married?

    Cecilia: What do you mean married? Are you crazy? Yes, he's married to Ginger Rogers! God! They got married on a boat off the island of Catalina. They live in Beverly Hills and sometimes holiday in Spain. He used to be married to Lola Lane, but, Ginger's better for him. She's so lovely.

  • Cecilia: Ginger used to be married to Jack Culpepper, who I think took out Ruth Chatterton before she married George Brent.
