      @@Misora7303 Yes. My point is that the movie doesn't give any new or interesting perspective on the idea. That's not a bad thing, and the speech at the end is very nice, but the movie as a whole is more of a romp through Paris of the 1920s with "cameos" of writers and artists that we'd all love to meet. The little glimpse of Josephine Baker is a perfect example of that. Pure excitement and lots of fun, but not particularly profound. Then again, who wouldn't love to walk into a bar and see her chatting with the guests?

    I absolutely got the sense that in the mid 60s a large portion of the younger generation felt like they were living in a special time, both thrilling and frightening, with an exciting sense of what the future would bring. That future probably didn't turn out to be what they were hoping for, but that doesn't negate the point that that period was an example of a "golden age" that people appreciated in the moment.

    We are never more beautiful because we are mortal. We are never in a more golden moment becuase it is ours. Our time to make things happen.

    Yep. People haven't really changed, every single time someone complains about "nowadays", unless they are actively complaining about progress and technology.
    And even then...

    Wouldn’t go to the 20’s despite it being a good decade for the simple reason that the Great Depression was the following decade and that, by going to 1890 at that age, I should hopefully have plenty of time to invest in stocks and pull out before the recession. Maybe I’m thinking too much about this…..

    A wonderful movie: MIDNIGHT IN PARIS. Have seen it several times and enjoy it anew each time. Every actor is perfectly cast. What is there more to say about Paris, the City of Light? One of the most beautiful cities of the world. A charming story from Woody Allen; maybe his best.
