I tried to write a film review about "Purple Rose of Cairo" before. When a startup company boss interviewed me, I was limited to write a film review within half an hour. And it happened that the day before the interview, I watched this 1985 Woody Allen brain hole "Purple Rose of Cairo", at the time I thought I was lucky enough to write a Woody Allen film review, only to realize later. . . . Woody Allen had no appeal for a startup boss eager to expand the Chinese film market.
Of course, I can't blame Woody Allen for his "I don't understand what the hell you're writing about?" question because of my poor writing. But I tried to write Woody Allen's film review several times later, but I found that I really couldn't write it, because Woody Allen's story can have different versions for different audiences.

I remember the title of the film review I wrote at the time was "Fairy tales never lie but you don't want to believe it", the first sentence was "The male god ran away from the movie and wants to run away with you!" It was very attractive at first, but later found out that it was just an old-fashioned Internet language.
Let’s take the story written on paper before: The background is the Great Depression in the 1930s. There was a housewife working as a waitress in a small restaurant. Her husband usually has nothing to do, likes to have fun, and ignores her. ask for money. The greatest joy of life for a housewife is to go to the cinema to watch a movie and watch a movie called "Purple Rose of Cairo" several times.

One day, when she went to the cinema to watch this movie again, the actor in the movie looked at her and said, "This is the fifth time I've seen you", and ran out of the big screen in front of the audience, pulling up Housewife's hand escapes the world of cinema. Then, the actor's role in reality also appeared, and the plot of a love triangle began again. In the end, the housewife chose the real male protagonist, and the male protagonist in the movie returned to the screen lonely, but the real male protagonist did not live with the female protagonist and lived a fairy tale life.

Most of life is unsatisfactory. The luxurious life and romantic love in movies have become a kind of fantasy. Woody Allen always makes movies unrealistic, with contrasting roles, and likes to put people from two worlds together to talk about "absurdity". "story. "Purple Rose of Cairo" is a combination of "Desperate Housewives" and movie gods, "Magic Moonlight" is a combination of rich British and American scammers, "Anything Goes" is a combination of old "intellectuals" and brainless big-breasted girls... The gap between status, wealth, and ideas seems to imply the impossibility of combining the two in reality.

"If you have the ability, don't come back, the movie is not reality..." The housewife decided to elope with the movie star, the truth that her rogue husband yelled at her. The housewife finally returned to the cinema sadly, watching a Fred Astaire musical, with tears in her smile, a good story will always exist only in a movie.
