It's all the moon's fault

When I saw more than half of it, I was still thinking why the movie is called Magic Moonlight. Originally thought it was a magic movie, [Spoilers involved later],

I thought that the heroine was psychic, and then changed her attitude towards life. Later, I found out that it was the male protagonist's friend who partnered with the female protagonist and the mother and daughter to play the male protagonist, so I understood the title. After all, good love is the fault of the moon?

In the movie, the rich boy plays the ukulele and serenades the heroine to please the heroine. The audience outside the movie will think what a sweetheart move, wow, haha, put it on the heroine. heart.

The part where the male protagonist talks to his aunt later and the part where he proposes to the female protagonist are very interesting. After the female protagonist refused to leave, the male protagonist said that you threw away the ticket to heaven (can't remember the original sentence, the main idea is this). I was really amused by the British humor and the stinging energy.

From another angle, I admire the tolerance of the male protagonist. Being played by a friend, I still forgive. The love for the heroine is also an afterthought. As the plot unfolds, the male and female protagonists kiss, and the follow-up is the repentance of the female protagonist and the rich man, and the mother will definitely break up, and the female protagonist's false psychic will also end. So the kiss stopped abruptly.

What is worth thinking about is an open mind, a rigorous style of work, a tolerant mind, the courage to pursue true love, and the corresponding responsibility.

Magic in the Moonlight quotes

  • Stanley: The comparison makes me laugh! Olivia is a person of accomplishment and charm. Sophie's a street finagler who makes her way living off one bit of hokum to the next.

    Aunt Vanessa: Well, I don't see how you can compare the two.

    Stanley: Well, don't put ideas into my head!

    Aunt Vanessa: Well, far be it from me!

    Stanley: Of course, she does come from dire circumstances. I mean, it's very easy to be judgmental about people who are born into circumstances less fortunate than one's own.

    Aunt Vanessa: Well, life is harsh. One must do what one must to survive.

    Stanley: Well put. And people do sometimes make the wrong choices, which they regret, even though no serious harm was done.

    Aunt Vanessa: Which of us has not made some blunders in life?

    Stanley: And there is a rather appealing quality about Sophie. Despite her disgusting behaviour.

    Aunt Vanessa: Yes, her smile is rather winning. Of course, it depends how much value you put on the purely physical.

    Stanley: Well, no, I... I, for one, esteem the higher virtues.

    Aunt Vanessa: Hmm... Beauty of the soul...

    Stanley: Although her eyes are rather pleasant to look into. And that she can be amusing, under the right circumstances.

    Aunt Vanessa: Oh, but Olivia is an educated, cultivated woman. One that befits a man of your artistic genius.

    Stanley: Yes, now, my genius must be factored in. On paper, there's really no reason to prefer Sophie to Olivia.

    Aunt Vanessa: Well, I would say the opposite.

    Stanley: ...And so your, your suggestion that I, I be honest with Olivia and tell her that as irrational as it seems, I've fallen in love with, with Sophie - that's a preposterous notion.

    Aunt Vanessa: It's lunacy.

    Stanley: ...Yet I can't help feeling that...

    Aunt Vanessa: ...That you love Sophie. Yes, I understand. You're puzzled and bewildered; because your foolish logic tells you that you should love Olivia.

    Stanley: Foolish logic?

    Aunt Vanessa: And yet, how little that logic means when placed next to Sophie's smile...

    Stanley: What are you saying?

    Aunt Vanessa: ...That the world may or may not be without purpose, but it's not totally without some kind of magic.

    Stanley: ...I have irrational positive feelings for Sophie Baker. It's like witnessing a trick I can't figure out.
