    In the end, she laughed, the same smile as Kabylia, the same as her, after the devastating deception, at the moment that could stir up the most carnival in her heart. But her choice also depicts the sadness of the times. She told Tom that reality can never be complete without your life, so when she chose reality, she woke up from a sweet dream and returned to this cruel world , the actor playing Tom is not as perfect as...

    Woody Allen said: "Life is too short, why bother?" But this ending is too sad. Fantasy, impulsive, and constant. Finally back to the starting point. There is also a feeling that some people's real lives are made up of one movie after another. I hope that this person's ending can be a little happier, and that the Cairo purple rose in this person's hands will never...

    I see a lot of myself in Cecilia, and I can watch my favorite movies many times. She is innocent and kind and easy to trust others. She walks into the screen and experiences the feeling of "living in the movie world" more truly than I do. ……When Tom went from the screen to the real world because of her infatuation, I was really overjoyed by this wonderful setting,……. Unfortunately, the beautiful illusory love is ultimately doomed to be "defeated" by the lies of...

    From film to reality, from reality to film. The wonderful structure of the play within the play, the multiple intertexts on and off the screen, is sincere, sincere, interesting and charming. This is probably a love letter from Woody Allen to the movie itself. It really exhausted his mind and poured countless emotions into it. . One is a bleak and boring reality, the other is an unattainable fiction, and the other is a seemingly beautiful lie. Three choices, of course, in the end, they can only...

    The eternal siege of illusion and reality + the infatuation of fanatical fans. 1. Think deeply about the nature of the movie and the relationship between actors and characters. The characters invade reality and are the mirror image of [Holmes II]. 2. Tom whose hair will not be messy and fade out before sex. 3. Use abandoned playground as a metaphor for romantic dreams. 4. You can't learn to be a real person, just like you learn to be a dwarf. 5. Half-noisy, half-satisfied, half-sorrowful and...

    Middle-aged WoodyAllen's imagination and creativity are much stronger than they are now. Although this "out of the big screen" inspiration seems not new now, every time I look at it, it will still generate a strong interest. The contrast between reality and virtuality is also on the way. I satirized the Hollywood star system and borrowed a lot of ideas from Keaton. Of course, this idea later became the object of many movies competing to imitate. At the end, I slapped every slap in the...

    The first woody allen I watched is also Woody’s own favorite. If Anne Hall is his love letter to diane keaton, this is the movie he wrote to himself as well The letter-the beautiful, free and easy diane is the goddess in his heart, the idealized self; mia farrow is entirely himself, the same delicate and nervous, and the same "Vivienne's heart", the female version of...

    The Purple Rose of Cairo

    Soon accepted the setting of real & unreal~
    "Real people want their lives to be fictional, and fictional people want their lives to be real"...
    There is a sentence in the barrage "People are fake, love is real; people are real Yes, love is fake." Very heartfelt.
    The final ending and the name of the...

    I can't sleep, I read Cairo Purple Rose again

    In my understanding, a good comedy is essentially a tragedy. Similarly, as expressed by the little characters in this film: an "idealist" who may be dissatisfied with reality is essentially a pure realist. Facing the life of the upper class, the interesting soul, the movie and the spiritual world...

The Purple Rose of Cairo quotes

  • Tom Baxter: It's beautiful. But I'm not sure exactly what it is.

    Cecilia: Oh, this is a church. You do believe in God, don't you?

    Tom Baxter: Meaning?

    Cecilia: The reason for everything, the world, the universe.

    Tom Baxter: Oh, I think I know what you mean. The two men who wrote "The Purple Rose of Cairo." Irving Sachs and R.H. Levine, they're writers who collaborate on films.

    Cecilia: No. No, I'm talking about something much bigger than that. No, think for a minute. A reason for everything. Otherwise it'd be like a movie with no point - and no happy ending.

  • Cecilia: You're not just a pretty face, you're also a peach of an actor. Really. I've seen you. I've seen you a lot. You've got something.

    Gil Shepherd: Is that your opinion?

    Cecilia: Sure, and I see all the movies. You've got - oh, how can I describe it? You've got a magical glow.

    Gil Shepherd: Oh, boy. Oh, oh. To hear that from a real person. That is just - it's not one of those movie colony bimbos, you know, with the fancy dresses, filling you full of hot air.
