Allegory of the Moonlight

Look around us and look at your life. When we go online, we receive a lot of information but care less and less; we talk a lot about life and human nature, but we refuse to clean the corridors of our homes on weekends. The accumulation of wealth makes people's lives better; but are we happier? On the contrary, many people feel that they are becoming more and more empty.
This movie gave us a dream, a dream of finding freedom. In a quiet night, do you have time to look up at the sky, "People today don't know the ancient times and the moon, but this month once looked at the ancient people." If we don't have subways, fast food, and the Internet, what will the world be like? Is the life of the ancients more leisurely? In the moonlight, Tao Yuanming's small courtyard, Li Bai's singing and dancing, Zhuangzi's leisure travel, Laozi's Tao Te Ching. If we ride the moonlight and go back in time... Of course, that's impossible. But the movie gives us hope with his unique magic.
The people of the past have come to the present, and they have interpreted the relaxed and romantic 18th-century love story in the present. In the hustle and bustle, the roof was used as the dance floor, and violin artists were invited from the street. Under the dim candlelight, the two of them waltzed. All of this can be done in the real world, and our beautiful world is all around us, as long as you carefully discover it.
I love this movie because she taught me to see life in a different light. I can't travel through time, but when we get real joy, it doesn't matter anymore...

    It's such a cliche movie, and it's not a rigorous plot, but I don't hate it at all. Who makes the actors look good and act well!

    This logic is a bit scary to think about. . Send your ex-girlfriend to marry your ancestor in the past?

Kate & Leopold quotes

  • Kate: She was a real romantic, my mom. When, when Prince Charles and Lady Di got married, she had a party, she made crumpets and jam. It was like a Super Bowl party, but for moms. She cried for a week.

    Leopold: I don't know the story of Prince Charles and Lady Di.

    Kate: Oh, you don't want to. It's a cautionary tale, further proof.

    Leopold: Of what?

    Kate: You can't live a fairy tale.

  • Leopold: [has a purse thief trapped near a locked gate to an overpass in the park] I warn you, scoundrel, I was trained to ride at the King's academy and schooled in weaponry by the palace guard. You stand no chance. Where you run, I shall ride and when you stop, the steel of this strap will be lodged in your brain.

    [the purse thief throws the purse to the ground and runs off]
