Reason for recommendation: This is a love letter written by Woody Old to every era and every humanistic spirit. Title: "Midnight Paris" Director: Woody Allen Starring: Owen Wilson, Marion Cotillard, Rachel McAdams, Carla Bruni, Adrian Brody Production time: 2011 Annual reading Home: The beauty of the showgirl in Stone Garden is that, in the final analysis, the information is asymmetry. In other words, as a modern person, you always know the ending of the story. Imagine that when you travel to Paris in the 1920s, Hemingway is drinking rum in a tavern and speaking in deafening rhetoric. But you know better than anyone else that there is a strong logic behind all this-every word Hemingway said, every story he wrote, every horse he soaked in, follow this logic to push him towards a certain The destined time, that is, on July 2, 1961, he blasted his head with a double-barreled shotgun. For you as a translator, this is how creepy but fascinating. For the above reasons, "Midnight in Paris" is a wonderful movie. In the film, the American literati Gail Pende ran into the golden age of Paris in his mind because of chance. It was Eliot, Picasso, Dali and Bunuel walking, smoking, and arguing along the Seine. Artistic point of view and create an era of their own aesthetic style. Since then, every midnight, Gail took a classic car to the 1920s, wandering around salons, dances, cafes and bars, swimming with Fitzgerald, drinking and chatting with Hemingway, and pours his thoughts to Dali. Even, it was favored by a certain mistress of Picasso, my god, this is the most beautiful dream that a literary youth can have-dating an entire era. Regarding nostalgia, Woody Allen undoubtedly found an excellent entry point: to satisfy the obscenity of a literary youth, send him back to the era of genius and brilliance that he admired, and then try to stay. It was so good in the past? That's just because you can't focus on its poverty, emptiness, gloom, and ordinary. With years of faint yellow halo, ordinary enamel cups, sea soul shirts and rattan kettles have also possessed extraordinary textures. This is what Gale said, "For a certain generation, things that are bland or even low-level and vulgar, just because of the passage of time, their state has undergone a qualitative change, and it suddenly becomes both magical and charming, and a bit artificial and ridiculous. ". Woody Allen used this film to try to break a certain myth of the past and the present, telling us that there were Hemingway and Michelangelo in those great and dead times, but there were no antibiotics and no narcotics. . Gale followed Paris in the 1920s, but Adriana, who was in 1920, thought that 1890 was the golden years. Every era is nostalgic, because every era is full of flaws. This proposition is very simple, and one point is clear. However, I still feel that the film is over, I think it is because the background is set in Paris. Woody • How much does Alan love Paris? In the movie, it’s okay to show his love nakedly through lines. The best part is that at the beginning of the movie, he used a full 60 empty shots to show Paris, morning and evening, sunny and rainy, every moment. It's almost a kind of gaze, done by the director and the audience together. And if it weren't for love, we wouldn't have to stare for so long and be so silent. In Old Woody's lens, Paris is a still life, which can stand the eye of any nature; at the same time, it is also an animal, hot and furry, sassy and elegant, with a gorgeous and lazy halo all over the body. Hemingway said to Gail, "I believe that true and pure love can produce a stage of relieving death. All cowardice stems from no love or incomplete love, the two are the same." Look, in Paris, The discussion of love and desire seems so appropriate and so metaphysical. After some time and space travel, Woody asked Gale to leave his fiancee who ignored his dreams and was busy cheating, and then sent him a French girl who loved Cole Porter as much as he did. This is the benevolent heart of old Woody and the best way out for idealists. Do you know how to resist the threat of death in this era of nowhere to escape? ——From the vast crowd, accurately find the girl who really belongs to you, and spare no effort to love her. 2011-11-6
