Paris Rain

Rating: 8/10 (28 March 2012)

Who wouldn't want to relive the glory days of Paris? Though at what cost? Is it because we are unsatisifed with our own current lives that we must seek some sort of escape to go back in time to a time when things were "better".
Owne Wilsion goes to Paris with his Fiancé for a vacation with there her parents but when they are there Wilsion is just over excited with all the history and beauties that Paris has to offer. He gets so wrapped into it that one night hes walking the desolate streets of late Paris. He meets some of the most influential, magnificent writers and painters of the roaring 20s. Its something he could only dream of actually come true, but when he keeps visiting the past he starts to question if he really is happy to be in the past or just the fact he gets to escape from his mundane life that he is unsatisfied with.
He starts to loose touch with his Fiancé who is played by Rachel McAdams who doesn't really understand the obsession that Wilsion has with Paris and doesn't really want to understand. Wilsion just shrugs it off because its his Fiancé what can really do, its only when he goes through some sort of transition when going back in time to the golden age of Paris.
I never really watch movies like this, but it really touched my inner cavalcade of appreciation of what we use to have and what we have now. Yes we can go back and live in our favorite era, but it will never do us no good, because the life we live now will be our real era and we can't do anything about, good or bad.
