Best movie ever!

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This is my favorite Woody Allen movie! It's heartfelt, artistic, creative, funny, thoughtful and nostalgic. It's basically a love letter to movies about a waitress who is unloved by her husband, unhappy at work and only finds love in the movies. One day, she watches the latest movie The Purple Rose of Cairo and after watching it the fifth time, the main character literally leaves the screen of his black and white movie and enters reality in technicolor. Soon, the black and white actors are up on the screen screaming for him to return while the movie theater is in panic and the actor playing the character who left the screen tries to get him back on. What an exciting story told with art, thought and entertainment!

I've only seen a handful of Woody Allen movies (none of them his classics), so I don't claim to be an aficionado. But you can tell he enjoyed making "The Purple Rose of Cairo". He takes it beyond the novel premise and fills the movie with good characters, excellent dialogue and winking jabs at Hollywood and its self-absorption. There's just such an earnest quality to this. Even when he's making fun of the industry, he's doing it out of love. That's what it all comes down to: losing oneself in the cinema. I love this movie.8/10

Apart from all Woody Allen, this movie is different. Usually his films are based on dialogues and drama, and rotates around his character. But, this one should be the most entertaining movie for the normal audience.Cecilia, is a waitress, struggling with life, her abusive and lazy husband. She finds it fascinating to watch a movie called "The Purple Rose of Cairo". She watches it repeatedly, due to some situations. At one point, a character, Tom Baxter, from the movie notes her, and walks off the screen..!! Yes, the character literally walks out with her. He wanted to learn about the real world, and was in deep love with her. Meanwhile, the movie was stuck in half way, the other characters were in confusion and waiting for the return of Tom Baxter. The theater management calls the studio and get connected with the producer. The real, Gil Shepherd, actor who played as Tom Baxter also panic and reaches the town. Ultimately, Cecilia is trapped between her Husband, Tom Baxter and Gil Shepherd.A really interesting movie. The fantasy element was realistically taken. Those who think Woody Allen movies are boring, they should definitely watch this movie.Highly recommended. A must watch.#KiduMovie

This was my first Woody Allen movie. I think there are 4 aspects I can judge a movie on. First one is directing. This movie was directed simple but very effective. In my opinion it is the best kind. The second thing is writing. First of all this is a very interesting concept to me. It deals very well with its themes. I like Woody Allens weird sense of humour but I don't understand what is he about. The third one is acting. This is the one of the first Jeff Daniels roles. He is very kind but nothing spectacular. Music was typical and cliché but I understand that that is the point. If you like movies about movies this is one good, interesting and short (82 minutes) movie you should check out.
