Woody Allan 2 : Midnight in Paris

"Midnight In Paris "


Let's Fall in Love....

Featured in science fictional style, this film was shoot in Paris, the most romantic and avant-garde city in the world.  Not only did the director reveal our misconception for understanding of our own genre not being the golden age, but he also seemingly employed the essential elements of falling in love.


Beside the elements of hormones and chemistry,  this true love should  make you feel " fearless of death".


As usual, Woody Allan mocked these so called scholars and experts in our time, by comparing them to the great masters and artists from an earlier  generation in 1920's. Almost every well known master from 20's was present on screen, including Scott Fitzgerald, Earnest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso, Dali, Mattise and more.


This is an interesting,  eye-catching and meaningful film which needs a full concentration to watch. Rarely have I seen such a wonderful film touching deeply but natrually on the subject of both art and love. As a result, I have viewed this film twice this weekend. :)

The Artist's job is not to succumb to despair,
but to find an antidote for the emptiness of existence! " --Gertrude Stein
