In honor of Valentine's Day I am going to talk about a love story. Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris" came out in 2011. It has Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams traveling to Paris with McAdams' parents. They are engaged but they are not the most happy couple. They are much different, McAdams wants to dance and explore the nightlife of Paris while Wilson wants to walk around the beautiful city at night and especially in the rain. One night Wilson is walking alone and an older looking car picks him up and travels through time to the 1920's and meets amazing writers of our time. He meets a woman named Adriana and falls in love but the problem is she lives in another dimension. He has to choose between his fiancé and a woman he is infatuated with.
This film has Woody Allen at his best. As Writer/Director of this film he deserves the Oscar he won. He shows how beautiful Paris is in such a simplistic way, he is a genius. This is one of his best films and probably the best film McAdams and Wilson has been in. The love story just keeps you guessing and by the end it is somewhat expected but it is still portrayed beautifully. Spend your valentine's day with your significant other with a movie.
