Finally finished watching "The Purple Rose of Cairo".

Feel a little sad.

Unexpectedly, it was a tragic ending.

Everyone chooses the real between the real and the unreal, but the ending of the movie tells everyone: the real will betray you.

At that time, when I watched "Tonight at the Romantic Theater", I thought it was very touching.

And I think the setting is so novel and creative.

Wang Mengni told me that there was Woody Allen before.

But the shock of "Purple Rose of Cairo" was not so strong.

On the contrary, the tragic ending made me feel a little bit stuck in my heart.

Of course, Cairo's conception and connotation expression are higher.

But borrowing the words of Mr. Dai Jinhua,

One is my favorite movie and the other is my favorite movie.

Like "Tonight at the Romance Theater".

I'm just a layman looking for sweetness in movies.

Movie promo.

“We are not talking about in love, we are talking about making love.”

Reflexivity towards the film medium. Movies are a tool for people to escape reality.

A direct contrast between film and reality. two protagonists.

Reality will find you.

The romance of the movie may lie in its unrealness.

    You smiled and told me that movies are all lies. There are thousands of pastimes in the world, why do you fall in love with movies? It's obviously just a fake world behind the screen, why does it make you feel so emotional? I read the lines in the movie silently, I like the characters in the movie, I keep my heart in that wonderful world, I am immersed in the strange Gensokyo, and I have long known that I will return to the embrace of reality after all, whether my heart is Are you feeling faintly heartbroken by this cold sense of distance? Saying these things is not true, but when the next movie starts, I will still be the kid who sits in front of the screen and giggles. After all, those happiness, those times, will not be fake after all, it doesn't matter if it's worth it It's worth it, only if you want to, the magician of light and shadow, the rest of your life, please give me more advice.

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.
