The Exquisite Beauty of Midnight in Paris

Once in a while you see movies as gorgeous as The Devil Wears Prada. But I am happy to say that Midnight in Paris was even more gorgeous.
I have never been to Paris but now it is on the top of my hit list. The beautiful architectural wonders from the past will keep on inspiring artists in the future. No wonder, Paris gives birth to so many wonderful artists and is a hub of fashion; with such beauty in the air, everyone can feel like an artist. The movie also tells that many artists from the past century made the city their home, and one of the most obvious reasons is the inspiring beauty.
My favorite about Paris is the amazing and diverse fountains that are their in the city. Today, they serve the purpose of beautifying the city, but they were actually built to provide water to the citizens. Parisians were truly blessed with the artistic qualities!
Talking about the movie, I must say, Woody Allen has made a movie than is dripping with beauty. You name it and it is there:
Beautiful Faces: Gorgeous Rachel McAdams,ravishing Owen Wilson (At least his crooked nose does not disturb me!) , the exotic french Marion Cotillard among others.
Beautiful Minds: Pablo Picasso, Earnest and Zelda Hemingway, TS Eliot among others.
Beautiful City: Paris Of course. In day and night and keeping in mind the goal of pleasing eyes!
Beautiful Hotels: The restaurants of 1920s, 1890 and 2011. And I love the suite of Wilson, quite lavish!

Overall: A beautiful movie, even with a not-so-pleasing story-line, you would not regret spending two hours at it!
