"Biz eski zamanların adamıyız." lafını çok severim ; siz de sever misiniz ? Hani biraz eski zamanlarda yaşasak içimizde ki potansiyeli kullanabileceğimize inanırız ; daha mutlu bir hayat ve daha tutkulu aşklar yaşayacağımıza..
İşte Midnight In Paris filmi tam da bunu anlatıyor.
Bugün yaşadığınız duygularla geçmişte yaşama ihtimaliniz olan duyguları karşılaştırabilme fırsatınız olsaydı ; nasıl olurdu ...
Hemingway'i , Picasso'yu , Dali'yi ve daha birçok değerli sanatçıyı o kadar hoş bir üslupla karşımıza çıkarmışlar ki filmi izledikten sonra kültür manyağı olası geliyor insanın.
Film aynı zamanda birbirine uyumsuz bir çiftin toplumsal birlikteliğine de yer veriyor. Tabi filmin adını göz önüne alırsak ; Paris gerçekten çok güzel betimlenmiş ; eğer imkanım olsaydı bir şehir yapmak isterdim ... Bunun üstüne başka bi postta yazarım kısmetse.
Neyse gelelim filmin bilgilerine.
Yönetmen :Woody Allen
Başrollerde : Owen Wilson , Rachel McAdams ve Marion Cotillard
Unutmadan filme puanımı vereyim : 10 üzerinden 7.8
Ve gitmeden önce filmden alıntı bir iki replik paylaşmak istiyorum.
Man Ray: A man in love with a woman from a different era. I see a photograph!
Luis Buñuel: I see a film!
Gil: I see insurmountable problem!
Salvador Dalí: I see rhinoceros!
Adriana: I can never decide whether Paris is more beautiful by day or by night.
Gil: No, you can't, you couldn't pick one. I mean I can give you a checkmate argument for each side. You know, I sometimes think, how is anyone ever gonna come up with a book, or a painting, or a symphony, or a sculpture that can compete with a great city. You can't. Because you look around and every street, every boulevard, is its own special art form and when you think that in the cold, violent, meaningless universe that Paris exists, these lights, I mean come on, there's nothing happening on Jupiter or Neptune, but from way out in space you can see these lights, the cafés, people drinking and singing. For all we know, Paris is the hottest spot in the universe.
Ve gelelim en sevdiğim repliğe...
Gil: Hi Mr. Hemingway.
Ernest Hemingway: The assignment was to take the hill. There were four of us, five if you counted Vicente, but he had lost his hand when a grenade went off and couldn't fight as could when I first met him. And he was young and brave, and the hill was soggy from days of rain. And it sloped down toward a road and there were many German soldiers on the road. And the idea was to aim for the first group, and if our aim was true we could delay them.
Gil: Were you scared?
Ernest Hemingway: Of what?
Gil: Of getting killed.
Ernest Hemingway: You'll never write well if you fear dying. Do you?
Gil: Yeah, I do. I'd say probably, might be my greatest fear actually.
Ernest Hemingway: It's something all men before you have done, all men will do.
Gil: I know, I know.
Ernest Hemingway: Have you ever made love to a truly great woman?
Gil: Actually, my fiancé is pretty sexy.
Ernest Hemingway: And when you make love to her you feel true and beautiful passion. And you for at least that moment lose your fear of death.
Gil: No, that doesn't happen.
Ernest Hemingway: I believe that love that is true and real creates a respite from death. All cowardice comes from not loving, or not loving well, which is the same thing. And when the man who is brave and true looks death squarely in the face like some rhino hunters I know, or Belmonte, who's truly brave. It is because they love with sufficient passion to push death out of their minds, until the return that it does to all men. And then you must make really good love again. Think about it.
