Midnight in Paris (2011)
What if you could go back in time and meet your literary heroes?
Presentation:
Woody Allen films all have their own nuance and style, but this film might have one of the most lingering emotions. Going back in time to the renaissance and beyond, Owen Wilson plays an unpretentious dreamer that allows audience members to stand in his place. The film successfully romanticizes the past and some of the greats in literature art and philosophy. You don't want to go back to the ugly present, facilitating nostalgia for a time and place one has never known. Hell yes, I want to get a beer with Ernest Hemingway.
Conclusion:
For some reason, this film spoke a lot to me. It is one of my favorite romance movies, but thats perhaps because it is more a love story for the past. We sometimes love the idea of something rather than the thing itself, and this film perfectly encapsulates that.
