A dream is a projection of a fulfilled wish

...remembered that the teacher let Woody Allen's "Purple Rose of Cairo" in class, a process of self-examination. I remember the humiliation and deception in reality, and I also remember the glittering lights inside the screen. When the heroine walks out of the wonderful world on the screen and steps off the stage, and decides to choose the true and reliable prince, she immediately falls into a ridiculous lie and betrayal. Who is true and who is false, the answer is obvious, but what a hard choice. If I were her, I would definitely be heartbroken. So people would rather dream, daydream, and never wake up from a dream. Freud said that a dream is a projection of a fulfilled wish. Movies are like dreams. In other words, movies are the carrier of dreams and the possibility for people to achieve myths. I thought, life is always better than the movie, life is complete, cruel and bloody. But we all love movies, and rely on it to make us feel comfortable and at ease, moved and satisfied to the point of weeping.

Wonderful, amazing, magnificent, but a little bit regretful and sad; a love song dedicated to the movie by Woody Allen.

Movies are an exit from reality, and dreams are the antidote to despair. I saw Kabylia from Cecilia's face, and Fellini stood behind Woody Allen.
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.
