Movies can give people a brief moment of joy in a painful life, but people eventually have to return to life.

"Movies can give people a short-lived pleasure in a painful life, but people eventually have to return to life." This may be Woody Allen's powerful concept in creating this film, and it can indeed be derived from You can feel it in the movie.

But this movie only has a relatively new concept and story, but the plot framework is still very superficial, so that the ending is not difficult to guess, and of course there is no need to guess, because the director just wants you to understand his concept.

But it is precisely because this is a movie based on a general concept, so in fact, there are so many bugs in the structure of the world in the movie and the structure of the real world that I feel that the plot setting is not clever enough, and there is no dramatic conflict. Too concentrated, a little loose, and mostly small fights.

Originally it was a very fun idea, but Woody Allen was a bit careless, focusing on expressing love rather than portraying stories.

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.
