Midnight in paris
I have not enjoyed a movie like that in a while . I actually enjoyed this movie so much , that on a scale from 1 to 10 , I gonna give it a full 10 .
to be honest when I first decided to watch this movie , it never came to my mind that it will be about time travel , but it is .
when gil ( owen wilson ) went back to 1920's and woke up in the next morning in our present time ,I thought maybe he was just drunk , he was hallucinating , it can't be true , but when you go deep watching the movie you realize that it is true , everything is true , and then there is my favorite moment at the 65th minute of the movie you find out that he is actually mentioned in an old book , he was actually there .
owen wilson played his role so well , he is the perfect actor for this role, and you can also feel woody allen's character in jil . it is so obvious if you are familiar with woody allen's work.
the movie wants to come with a conclusion that no matter what era you are living in, there will always be a golden age you wish you lived in .
I don't know but we seems to believe that our past is much more better than our present and I have no idea why .

DéJà VU
what a great movie , I loved it , I enjoyed it a lot . the idea of time travel was really great , the movie pushes you to think and try to understand what is going on , it's like it forces you to focus and pay complete attention to put the pieces of the picture together and use your mind trying to guess what would happen next, if they could change the past or not . the last part of the movie reminds me with harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban movie when harry moves back in time and actually change the past . in the end of the movie , you will understand how the movie got its name when denzel meets paula and he doesn't recognize her when she knows him and he feels while talking to her that he is having a DEJA VU . I searched the internet on time travel and understood some parts related to it like if you want to go to the past you have to travel faster than the speed of light or you can use black holes , another thing I found was the theory of parallel universes, or alternative histories , I guess this is what the movie is based on , I'm not sure . anyway to understand this theory Let's say that you do travel back to meet your grandfather when he was a boy. In the theory of parallel universes, you may have traveled to another universe, one that is similar to ours, but has a different succession of events. For instance, if you were to travel back in time and kill one of your ancestors, you've only killed that person in one universe, which is no longer the universe that you exist in. And if you then try to travel back to your own time, you may end up in another parallel universe and never be able to get back to the universe you started in.
The idea here is that every action causes the creation of a new universe, and that there are an infinite number of universes that exist. When you killed your ancestor, you created a new universe, a universe that was identical to your own up until the time you changed the original succession of events. or maybe like Erika alexanderin the movie said , time is like a straight line in space along which events happen and if you changed one of these events by some how on a certain point , starting from that point the time line will give another branch with new successive events different from the original ones based on the change you have made . the whole thing is confusing and for me ,I don't believe we can change the past , what happened , happened you can't do any thing about it .

what IF ?
captured by the most terrible two words ,What If ?that was a line from the movie the time machine . it got stuck in my head since I first heard it , I thought about that question a lot and what could be the possible answers , it's countless , the possibilities concerning a certain issue , it is what makes us move on , go forward , give us motivation . on the other side , it's the source of our fears , it prevent us from making actions or take important decisions , it hold us back . wether it moves you on or holds you back , it's up to you , it's your decision you can take risks and go for what you believe will make things a lot better or you can do nothing and stay on the safe side and thats depend on the situation you are handling , you weigh the good possibilities and the worst scenario that could happen and according to this you decide . the bottom of line you always should look at the bigger picture , enlarge the zone of your thinking , this is how you solve your problems easily and avoid further troubles .
