Lies make lives better

The stubborn magician at the very first scene after the show scolds on his co-workers shows how disagreeable he is. Later in the story, especially when he meets the beautiful fraud and the rich family, his rudeness, pessimistic views of lives just prove how pathetic he is. I wonder with his stubbornness, lack of romanticism, and bitter tones and judgements how does he win the heart of Olivia, his fiancée? Maybe, as he repeats a lot, they are made a good match in heaven which he does not doubt but rather jovially believe, until the intentional encounter with Sophie, an adorable girl. I question the mind of the girl, with all the bad disposition of the magician, he seems appeal to her at the very first sight. After one week of being together, they are in love. Their love is slight, transient, but truly and unnoticed. I won't talk about more about the plot, it's no use. Instead, there are a few points that are quite impressive for me.
After visiting the aunt, the car is broken, and to have a shelter from rain, they go into a place what seems like for speculating the stars. They huddle together to keep the body heat which is warm to see despite they are drenched. When he opens up the pure white roof, I am amazed, by the dark blue sky, the scattered sparkling stars and the bright shiny moon. Magic of the moonlight, might be talking about this scene. The moonlight changes the magician. He believes Sophie and the world now. The fixed opinions about you get what you see and there's no such a psyche world or souls is altered by the magic of Sophie and her beauty. It is touching, to see him enjoying the life, stopping the nuisance speech about the real life. Even though she turns out is a fraud in the end, what she says is right. Lies make lives better. With lies,he has a much easier life that he is able to enjoy everything rather being critical judgmental all the time. Lies make the rich widow unfown and makes the young boy madly fall in love. What's more, people don't get pissed off by his negativness and all the moody and gloomy views of lives, at least I don't. He is rather annoying at first. I am happy to see that he understands the world, his heart and follows his heart and the signs of god. And his proposal is just ridiculously funny. The last scene is a bit of cliché, but still it's beautiful. We need lies, not conspirated lies to harm people, but kind tender lies to soothe people's soul. As one sees, religions are just as insensible as lies , but they bring faith to people's mind, and that is what makes us settled, what removes upset.
Europe is just a beautiful place, with all the countryside views. It's not splendid nature, but with the thick connection of people to the nature, culture to the buildings, it is so attractive.

    Many pretenders like to use standards such as "big pattern", "big scene" and "big thought" to demand old Woody Allen (in fact, that should be a requirement for people like Jiang Wen), and sighed after watching the movie. Samsung. The old man likes to make movies with small fun, small format, and small fables. I have been doing it for many years. I really like this kind of tune anyway. I love it from beginning to end.

    Three and a half stars; reason and emotion, arrogance and prejudice, the proposal paragraph clearly shows that Mr. Darcy is possessed, after all, the girl's heart is still there; the whole is mediocre, the pictures and stories are still beautiful, so beautiful and romantic that people can't bear judgment; lack of love and security A young man believes that life is not worthy of suffering, and that the background of life is desolation. Once encountering a beautiful girl, he can be reborn. Let us look forward to the skit about love and life once a year.
