Find the normality that allows you to live your life

A heroine who lost her job due to carelessness, and was indifferent in the face of domestic violence and cheating, the only thing that fascinated her and could tell her heart is the movie. She loves movies, she can watch the same movie over and over again, and she can be deeply moved by the elegant life of the upper class and the wonderful dialogue in the movie. The male protagonist is a character in the movie she watched. When the female protagonist watched the film repeatedly, he left the screen in the spirit of an adventurer, walked out of the movie, and started a romantic life with the female protagonist. When the real actor of the male protagonist also came to the female protagonist, she chose the real him, she said, "because she is a real person".
But it was her true lie. She is a real person, but not in real life, her love and hatred only exist in movies. During the romantic days when the male protagonist came out of the screen to be with her, she was still obedient and could not express her true feelings in sleepwalking. From her eyes, I can see that what she loves is, in fact, fantasy. In those days of economic depression, in that painful family, the movie eroded her misfortune and loneliness, and the short and beautiful fantasy was instead An excuse for "real" existence.
Maybe this is how life should be, it doesn't matter if it's true or not, find the normality that allows you to live.

    After watching more than a dozen Woody Allen, this story is indeed the best. The people in the movie can walk into reality. It's incredible just thinking about it! (If I watch the big ship five times in a row, can Xiao Li come out to kill?) But the details are still not as good as Anne Hall-gentle, but it is indeed a very interesting film

    Alas, this ending... brutally realistic; rubberface's best story, bar none; 40-year-old Mia Farrow doesn't even look twenty in the film; Jeff Daniels really Is a seriously underrated power faction
