A dream is a projection of a fulfilled wish

...remembered that the teacher let Woody Allen's "Purple Rose of Cairo" in class, a process of self-examination. I remember the humiliation and deception in reality, and I also remember the glittering lights inside the screen. When the heroine walks out of the wonderful world on the screen and steps off the stage, and decides to choose the true and reliable prince, she immediately falls into a ridiculous lie and betrayal. Who is true and who is false, the answer is obvious, but what a hard choice. If I were her, I would definitely be heartbroken. So people would rather dream, daydream, and never wake up from a dream. Freud said that a dream is a projection of a fulfilled wish. Movies are like dreams. In other words, movies are the carrier of dreams and the possibility for people to achieve myths. I thought, life is always better than the movie, life is complete, cruel and bloody. But we all love movies, and rely on it to make us feel comfortable and at ease, moved and satisfied to the point of weeping.

There is no fairy tale, just a dream. No one loves you anymore, just get back to the old way. No Sam jumped off the screen for you, it's just that the soulmate of the new movie character may not be you anymore~

Tom Baxter: [pauses after kissing Cecilia] Where's the fade-out?
Cecilia: What?

Cecilia: Then what?
Tom Baxter: Then we're making love in some private, perfect place.
Cecilia: That's not how it happens here.
Tom Baxter: What, there's no fade out?
Cecilia: No, but when you kissed me, I felt like my heart faded out. I closed my eyes, and I was in some private place.
Tom Baxter: How fascinating. You make love without fading out?
Cecilia: Yes.
Tom Baxter: Well, I can't wait to see this!
