"Midnight in Paris" which is written and directed by Woody Allen. At first, I did not have special reasons to decide to watch this movie, I just thought that it seemed to interesting and the disk jacket was good. However, this movie was much better than I had expected.
This movie is said that the best movie of Woody Allen's works and released an opening movie at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival for the first time. It got the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and the Golden Glove Awards for Best Screenplay in 2012, and it was also nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Art Direction of the Academy Award. In many other movie festivals, this movie won some prizes and was nominated.
The setting of this movie is Paris and there are many things related to Paris and the history of art and literature. The main character is Gil Pender who got a success as a Hollywood screenwriter. He has a wife, Inez, and her parents are rich. When her parents go to Paris, Gil and Inez also go with them. Gil loves Paris because he likes the 1920's literature and he longed for live in Paris. In addition, he wanted to be a writer in spite of his success at Hollywood. One day, a strange thing happened. When Gil was walking with drink on street at Paris, an old car ran to him. Some people in the car called him, "Come on!" then, he rode the car. The place he arrived was party but this party was not usual party. He was talked to by a man and he asked the man's name. The man's name was F. Scott Fitzgerald. Gil was very surprised and he thought "Is this man kidding me?" F. Scott Fitzgerald is a famous American writer and he is part of the Lost Generation. Gil realized he stepped back in time to the 1920's. Other days, he repeated time travel and he met many famous people, for example, Ernest Hemingway and Salvador Dalí. He experienced many things through his unique t Ike travel.
At last, I will introduce three interesting points of "Midnight in Paris." First, there are many views of Paris and they are very beautiful. They make you comfortable and you can feel you are in Paris. Second, storyline. The kind of this movie is comedy and fantasy. These setting is often used but this story is not expectable so you can enjoy watching this movie. Third, unique characters. The main character, Gil, is very kind and interesting man. His action and talking are very fun! In addition, there are many unique people for example, Salvador Dalí. He is very funny person and the actor who played Dalí similar. These three ways, I really like this movie and recommend you!
