Finally finished watching "The Purple Rose of Cairo".

Feel a little sad.

Unexpectedly, it was a tragic ending.

Everyone chooses the real between the real and the unreal, but the ending of the movie tells everyone: the real will betray you.

At that time, when I watched "Tonight at the Romantic Theater", I thought it was very touching.

And I think the setting is so novel and creative.

Wang Mengni told me that there was Woody Allen before.

But the shock of "Purple Rose of Cairo" was not so strong.

On the contrary, the tragic ending made me feel a little bit stuck in my heart.

Of course, Cairo's conception and connotation expression are higher.

But borrowing the words of Mr. Dai Jinhua,

One is my favorite movie and the other is my favorite movie.

Like "Tonight at the Romance Theater".

I'm just a layman looking for sweetness in movies.

Movie promo.

“We are not talking about in love, we are talking about making love.”

Reflexivity towards the film medium. Movies are a tool for people to escape reality.

A direct contrast between film and reality. two protagonists.

Reality will find you.

The romance of the movie may lie in its unrealness.

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.
