Thank you Woody Allen.....
Edited on Tue Jul-12-11 03:56 PM by WCGreen
The opening montage of Mr. Allen’s new movie, Midnight in Paris, takes us through a day in the life of Paris, the Eternal City. From the early morning as the city comes alive right on through the day and deep into the night where we see why Paris is known as the city of lights.

Mr. Allen allows, as a brief, perfect aside, the audience to experience a rainy interlude, so we can see how Paris glimmers even underneath the rain.

It wasn’t the usual Paris we have grown to expect from other less talented directors. And yes, all the usual sites were included. What I was struck with was the way he showed life bursting in every part of the city. Too many others show famous buildings and art and forget that Paris is full of life everywhere you look.

On Edit... This isn't a review of Mr. Allen's newest movie. It's about how the movie, Midnight in Paris, made me put my some day Lung Transplant in a different perspective.

1. Some of Woody Allen's movies are great, and some are lame.
I may have to check this one out.

4. Note to self: See Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris.
I'd already planned on seeing it, but reading your review has sealed it for me.

Thank you for taking us down your path, Chris. We need to be reminded that our lives constrict as we get older and less able to do things. It is one of the hardest lessons I've ever had to learn.

I hope you get to see Paris. Of all people, you would appreciate all she has to offer...

Recommended.

9. I stand corrected...
I was just pointing out to Mrs WGreen that is was refreshing to see someone film totally on location instad of using film background...
