Review of Midnight in Paris (2011) by Money G — 01 Feb 2018

This movie is welcome. It is also welcoming which is just as important. The mood is perfect and it is the Twenties music, the Golden Age of American literature references and the beautiful background of Paris that makes this watchable. Besides that, the plot, whatever small amount that is here, is fairly predictable but watchable. Although overstated, the movie's opinion on nostalgia and accepting the past, but living in the present for the future, is a good theme. Vicky Cristina Barcelona is better and although they are similar, Midnight In Paris is unique enough. 3/5 on my first review.

Upon a rewatch, it's themes are very instrumental when observing other artwork and literature. This movie fully explores the character of a writer, one who uses too many words while attempting to describe surroundings and observations that capture a human experience.
