Movie Review : Midnight in Paris (2011)


Woody Allen did it again. He made a wonderfull movie that could connect very well with the city. Maybe we still could remember very well how his movie "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" is very memorable and made us want to go there and maybe could meet such a rare lady as Maria Elena. The characters are very real and also the problem too but the drama that he represent are very unique and looks complicated but still attractive to us.
And now, still in european country, Woody Allen serve us the beautiful sight of Paris at night and the magical thing that happen in there. The story is so simple, it's about a writer, Gil Pender played by Owen Wilson is on vacation with his fience, Inez played by Rachel McAdams in Paris. Gil is confuse about his life and being dictated by his fience and didn't know how to deal with it, until one night when he strolling the streets of paris and suddenly he's in the past, 1920s to be exact. He met with many legendary people that inspire him such as Piccaso, Hemmingway, F.Scott Fitzgerald, Salvador Dali and beautiful girl that stole his attention, Adriana. This journey to the past that he took everyday make him realize about alot of things in life, especially about always looking back in life, living in the past. 
I love how simple this movie is, the character that really appear in real life, the sight of paris in the golden era, the famous people that brought back to life, just awesome. This movie stuck in my head for days. Woody Allen movie always filled with famous names and their acting skills is no doubt about it.

Overall maybe you could see my love for this movie is very strong so no wonder I will give this movie 5 Stars out of 5, because this movie really is amaizing. Oh and I love the soundtrack too, should totally check that out.
