Magic in the Moonlight

Woody Allen's films have always been trivial, belonging to the modern satirical comedy masters who made a storm in a glass, in a way, a bit like twentieth-century Jane Austen. However, the layout of this "Magic Moonlight" is too small, a bit like a storm in a wine cup. The theme of the whole film is really simple, just one: the magic does not lie in psychics, but in emotion; the point of the whole film is also one, the persuasion and education of Emma Stone in the last twenty minutes; the suspense of the whole film is less, almost in At the beginning of the film, the audience guessed the answer: a famous magician who is known for his rational analysis does not believe in any surreal magic in the world. What happened? I've talked about this, what do you think, reader?

Colin Firth and Emma Stone are the hero and heroine of this film, and they are opposites throughout. In France in the 1930s, everything was so beautiful, both petty and fresh, the blue Mediterranean, the convertible, the wise aristocratic old lady and her beautiful pearl necklace; the car broke down in the rainstorm, and the two ran to the observatory Looking at the stars, just looking at these keywords, I thought it was the beginning of the novel "Butterfly Dream". But it doesn't stop there: the "reason" and "calculation" represented by Colin Firth are vulnerable before the "emotion" and "charm" represented by Emma Stone, and Woody Allen tells the audience in eighty minutes. His understanding of feelings, the movie stopped so abruptly.

After watching the movie, I made up my mind about the possibility of using a Spring Festival Gala sketch to explain the show clearly. Song Dandan can play the role of Emma, ​​Colin Firth will let Uncle Benshan play it! Although he may never be on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala again... The magician played by Uncle Benshan met the beautiful village girl Dandan, and from then on began an ironic marriage... It doesn't violate harmony at all.

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.
