Midnight In Paris is an extravagant film that emphasizes on the importance of passion and creativity. Woody Allen's latest film takes audiences on a magical journey in the city of love. The plot centers around a struggling writer (Owen Wilson) who explores the differences of reality and fantasy. When Wilson roams the streets of Paris at night, he enters a whimsical world. I don't want to reveal too much about the movie, because it really is better to experience for yourself. Instead, I'll just rave about some of the highlights.
Paris is the real main character in this film. Allen does a great job capturing the city's beauty. After leaving the movie theater, I felt like I was leaving a vacation. There was no better setting for this storyline. The scenery was breathtaking.
The film had a diverse supporting cast. All of the actors were truly scene stealers. Rachel McAdams was surprisingly cruel as Wilson's narrow minded fiance. Meanwhile, Marion Cotillard played a more delightful character, as the charming muse. The movie reminded me why Marion is one of my favorite actresses. Her performances always leave such long-lasting impacts.
I would definitely recommend the film. Midnight In Paris is thought provoking, but light hearted. It's hard not to smile while watching the film. The movie was romantic, comical, and very enjoyable. For only $11.50 you get to travel through Paris, meet literary icons, and let your imagination run wild.
"If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative."
