Old Woody used Rachel McAdams & Marion Cotillard in this love letter to Paris, such as the quiet, beautiful, gentle, A fresh and artistic girl, compared to the passionate, wild, crazy, and moody women in "Midnight Barcelona", such as Pedrop Cruz & Scarlett Johansson & Rebecca Hall, Midnight in Paris It is less wild and more meaningful than midnight in Barcelona; less abstract and more reverie; less shocking and more silent.
Old Woody's thick black-rimmed glasses can't block all the magnificent reverie that may arise. When you completely ignore this small man who is not amazing, you will be felt again and again in his films. Unparalleled shock and aftertaste. In this film, the male protagonist "entertains himself" through time and space. During the day, he is a man who is lost and lost. At midnight, he will travel with a classic car or carriage to the nostalgic "Golden Age". Find your own value identity and a spiritual home of belonging in the past time. Music, fine wine, parties, salons, and arguing with major writers and artists, this is Gale's exciting literary dream. He was a writer, and he really met such idols as Hemingway, Picasso, Dalí, and even Gauguin who "looked up to them." This isn't a fanatical fandom mentality, it's a devotional pilgrimage. I would even like to believe that all this is real, or that there is such a possibility that somewhere around midnight in Paris, or platform 9 3/4, it will fall into the old days, and time will flow backwards. Such a scene may also be in line with the dreamy vision of our fans to meet the god-like film master in our hearts. There will really come a day when I will be involved in the fireside chat between Lou Ye, Hiroka Shi-eda and Li Cangdong, I will move props for Eastwood's saddle and horses, and I will help Russ who wears shoes on one foot and walks barefoot on the other. Von Trier, Quentin to mention that one high heel they were not wearing or to add more bizarre and physically challenging scenes to their movie scripts.
What a fascinating situation this is. In the movie, Grandpa Woody finally taught the children to "live in the moment and grasp the world", but in reality there are too many disappointments, too many killings, and too much cruelty. We are not recognized, not understood, not comforted. We need a sanctuary for a soul habitat. It's like watching a movie in a movie theater. In a claustrophobic space, when the lights are completely dimmed, it's pitch black all around, and the screen facing in front is the only light. Look around the entire claustrophobic space left and right, and there is an escape exit that is always lit. For us, movies were a spiritual escape at that time. It's like the classic car of time that only waits for you to come back every night in the movie.
For this film, I feel the same way. After watching it, there are a lot of words on my chest, and the ripples are overflowing. I always feel that I am the hero who is addicted and does not know where to go in the film. I would also be extremely disgusted by the pseudo-intellectual who pretends to "drop the book bag". In addition to repeatedly swallowing up his scraps of knowledge in front of women, such a man may only have an unsustainable impulse in his lower body. When I see the male protagonist go home after drinking and eating, he chooses to take a walk instead of calling a taxi. I also have to rush to confess again and again: "I think so too, I always say that, I agree and can't agree anymore!" At the
end of the film, our old man Woody really made the dream come true , arranged a rainy reunion for our male protagonist, and met the woman who also loves to walk in Paris at night, Paris in the rain, such an ending, warm and wanton and charming, the film is under the light rain, but my heart is Large tracts of sunflower fields, warm autumn sun. "The opening film of nearly four minutes captures the streets, parks, alleys, cafes, Seine and stone roads of Paris in the morning light, in the rain, and in the night. The photography of the whole film is almost honey-colored, Transparent and sweet. Everything about Paris is radiant and charming, and every image is so beautiful to the soft sound of the trumpet and guitar." This is Woody's love letter to Paris, but in my opinion, Please allow me to be affectionate once, this is also a love letter from abroad to me...
