Life is not rational

Yes, it's a very average story, moderate audiovisual presentation, obnoxious protagonist, nothing that can be said to stand out, but I'm still going to give it five stars because Woody Allen because of Sister Stone, I rate it as irrational but emotional. Jazz with warm tones can make you feel comfortable whenever and wherever you watch the old man's movie, this is not an art movie, this is an ordinary genre movie, as long as you watch it I feel happy that this is a successful movie. No matter how monotonous the content, Woody Allen's music will let you in.

Maybe it's because I'm relatively petty. I personally think that the level of photography in each of Woody Allen's films is much higher than that of a Hollywood director. The old man has been obsessed with the golden age all his life, so his cinematography is always so full of age and temptation. Especially when the holy light shines on Sister Stone's impeccable face, it's really great.

In terms of actors, the male protagonist confirmed that he is very annoying, old-fashioned, stubborn, nagging, and inhumane. In fact, this is Woody Allen. Woody Allen's movie authorization is very serious, and that's why we watch his movies. Just get what he wants to say. To tell the truth, this film was made by the old man himself, and for fans who love him. He was a maverick in his life and used the identity of Wei Lingxiu to describe his thoughts and choices in his life. This film is his memories and Reflect. And what was revealed in the end was the compromise he made to the world in his old age, and even the compromise was arrogant. This is Woody Allen.

As my aunt said, life is inherently irrational, because people have emotions and desires, and the word love is inherently irrational. I love the old man, and I love Sister Stone, so I just get this score full, I just like it~

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.
