If you are in the mood for a romantic comedy
You should check out Midnight in Paris, a classic French film from Woody Allen. Starring Owen Wilson and Woody Allen, this movie is well written and acted. It is a great film for the whole family to enjoy. However, before you decide to watch it, you must know some basics. After all, the plot revolves around two love birds who fall in love during their first encounter.
Woody Allen
Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris is a delightfully wacky movie, with a charming storyline that's reminiscent of Ernest Hemingway's 'A Moveable Feast.' The film's premise is inspired by Hemingway's novel, and its characters interact with writers like Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Zelda Fitzgerald. It's the first Allen movie shot entirely in Paris, though Love and Death (1975) and Everyone Says I Love You (1996) were partially filmed there.
After Woody Allen's first trip to Paris, he wrote and starred in a movie called 'What's New Pussycat?' However, he was dissatisfied with the movie's directors, Clive Donner and Richard Talmadge, and vowed to direct his own scripts. His filmmaking success continues, as he has released 43 films to date.
Owen Wilson
Woody Allen directed this charming romance film, starring Owen Wilson as a frustrated screenwriter. The movie is set in Paris during the '20s, during the era of Gertrude Stein and Cole Porter. As the title suggests, the movie is set in the Paris of the 1920s, when the characters interact with literary greats such as Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. As such, the film has many similarities to the original story.
The film opens with a postcard-view montage of Paris, which is about three minutes long. The montage is a stylistic choice, longer than it has to be to establish the film's setting. It seems to be Allen's way of saying, "Pay attention to Paris." Midnight in Paris is the third Woody Allen film to be shot entirely in Paris, following the partially-filmed Love and Death (1975) and Everyone Says I Love You (1996).
Casablanca
If you're a lover of romance movies, you've probably seen the classic 1942 film Casablanca. Humphrey Bogart's Rick tells his beloved Ilsa, "We'll always have Paris." But will Ilsa ever forgive him? And will she ever accept that his love for her was just a fleeting moment? In this review, we'll take a closer look at the story.
The first film that starred Humphrey Bogart was Casablanca, a classic romantic comedy with a giddy climax. Set in 1930s Paris, the film is an enchanting romp through the history of the city. The beautiful, romantic settings are set against the backdrop of a sexy, yet deadly, assassin. As the film depicts the love affair between two lovers, the romance between the two main characters is heightened by some harrowing scenes at the top of the Eiffel Tower.
Films set in Paris
There are several films set at midnight in Paris, but which are the most beautiful? Here are some examples. 'Lumiere' is one of the best-known films, featuring the iconic Eiffel Tower. While a film set at midnight is usually a romantic comedy, this one is also a beautiful drama. In this film, Gil and Adriana fall in love, and they meet on the Quai des Orfevres, a narrow stairway running along the banks of the Seine river. The location is also featured prominently on the film's cover.
Midnight in Paris is set in modern-day Paris, where a young American writer and his French wife go on vacation. The film follows the lives of these expatriate artists and writers. Corey Stoll plays Ernest Hemingway, who falls in love with his former lover. This film was made in the same year as the famous novel by Thomas Mann. The film was filmed in the same Paris neighborhood as the original book.
The Devil Wears Prada
'Devil Wears Prada' is a 2006 American comedy-drama film based on the 2003 novel by Lauren Weisberger. The film stars Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly and Anne Hathaway as Andrea Sachs. Stanley Tucci plays Nigel Kipling, the art director, and Adrian Grenier plays a supporting role. The film features a lot of references to fashion.
The Devil Wears Prada is released in many markets in English and in local language. The Romanian title, Diavolul se imbraca de la Prada, translates to Devil dresses himself in Prada. In French, the title is 'Le Diable s'habille en Prada.' The Japanese version, 'PuradawoZhao taE mo', translates as 'Devil wears Prada'.
An Education
The premise of An Education from the midnight in Paris is that the titular young writer, Gil, is born into the wrong era and must return to his time to become a novelist. During his trip to Paris, he stumbles upon a piece of Paris's history and meets a famous literary idol of the 1920s. The ensuing magical experiences help him to see clearly, forcing Inez to confront her unfaithfulness. The film has many cliches, including a drunk Gil who threatens to drown himself. In this sense, the film is likely to upset children in the same age group as Gil.
Although set in historic Paris, this movie is definitely not for young children. It features mature themes and witty history lessons. Although an adult audience may be put off by the movie's content, it's an enjoyable and enlightening watch. While a romantic movie with adult themes, An Education from the Midnight in Paris is a fun and witty introduction to Woody Allen's oeuvre.
