Woody Allen is one of my film heroes. I’ve enjoyed just about every stage of his career including now. I believe that the talent of an artist is his/her ability to communicate their message as simply and truthfully as possible. I’ve always found Allen’s films truthful and I can always here what I believe to be his voice in the script. Not the way he sounds or way lead actors seem compelled to mimic his cadence, rather how his message and humor are consistent. Allen is a writer, so things to don’t get blown up or shot at, things get spoken.
Midnight in Paris is a funny movie that should not be compared to anything else Allen has done, except, I kept seeing little pieces and stories from some his earlier films.(Hannah and Her Sisters, Everyone Says I love You, Crimes and Misdemeanors,Vicky Cristina Barcelona, and Sweet and Lowdown)
The charm of this film is our mistaken belief that we were born to late , at the wrong time or era. The truth of the films is that we are always where were supposed to be.
