Midnight In Paris

[jazzy_dave]

I must fell asleep well before bedtime as now i am fully awake again. I had been watching a film on DVD and then an episode of Charmed before i fell off to sleep. The DVD was the Woody Allen movie , starring Owen Wilson, called Midnight In Paris. Set in Paris, the film follows Gil Pender, a screenwriter, who is forced to confront the shortcomings of his relationship with his materialistic fiancée and their divergent goals, which become increasingly exaggerated as he travels back in time each night at midnight. The movie explores themes of nostalgia and modernism.In his post midnight walk he meets his famous idols, Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Man Ray,and so on. It is a lovely film interspersed with some fine ld music.

Here is a clip where unbeknownst to him he has slipped into the roaring twenties.

And when he meets the surrealists,

I loved it,
