Introduction to the plot of Midnight Paris (too lazy to write, ctrl+V came over)
Among all the ancient cities, Paris is an exceptionally brilliant galaxy. The contemporary Paris shown at the beginning of "Midnight in Paris" is already fascinating enough, but what Jill Pender, a foreign scholar, is obsessed with, is Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Eliot, and Dalí sitting in a coffee shop on the Left Bank, smoking and chatting. "Golden Age".
Relying on a midnight classic, Jill escapes into the bright old world he has long dreamed of, and is able to join Jean Cocteau's evening feast, become the guest of Gertrude Stein, and Hemingway, Fitzgerald and Dali Meet, and even get the attention of Picasso's mistress. His happiness lies in the fact that he knows his own good fortune. If he didn't know that this brawling bearded man sitting in a tavern, this sissy young man with curly blond hair, this pompous young woman, this big, burly peasant-like gay fat woman, it was Heim, Fitz, Zelda, Stein, would he still think they were cute? Time grinds on charm and brilliance, and grudges become legends. It is impossible and unfair to turn back the wheel of fate and ignore these times, so this story can only happen in movies and time-travel novels.
Of course, the irony is that Gauguins in the "greatest and best of times" are talking about "the people of this age are poor and unimaginative, if only they could live in the age of the Renaissance", and for The "Renaissance" they miss is also an activity that revives the ideas and innovative ways of thinking in the classical era.
Fortunately, Jill finally realized. "They don't have antibiotics in their day. Dentists don't have anaesthetics," he told Adriana.

To quote Paul in the film: "Nostalgia is rejection -- rejection of painful reality... There is a saying for this state, called The 'Golden Age Complex'... It's the misconception that a man is always better off in other times than he is now... It's made up by those with romantic imaginations... They find reality more difficult to deal with."
