Midnight in Paris

Midnight in Paris asks the viewer this question... wouldn't life be more exciting, adventurous, or more inspiring in a different time period? I myself have always fantasized about living in the 60's... sitting outside barefoot in my t-shirt and cut-off jeans listening to people sing and play guitar. I would've made a great hippie :) Or sometimes I think it would be fun to live in the time of evening gowns and ballrooms, dancing to an orchestra. In this movie... Gill (Owen Wilson) has a fantasy of living in 1920's Paris... only this fantasy becomes a reality. He gets taken in by the art, music, and writing of the 1920's. Iconic figures such as Dali, Hemingway, and Picasso become his friends. By day Gill is traveling with his high maintenance fiance and her disapproving parents. By night he's immersed in the minds of the great thinkers and creators of Paris in the 20's. In the process of writing his first novel, Gill takes all the advice he can and uses it to better his writing and his life. This fun, smart story of fantasy and reality is sure to warm the heart.
