Cecilia, a waitress in depression-age living in New Jersey, whose life is filled with stress from work and coming home to an violent, and unemployed husband. In order to escape from her life and marriage, Cecilia goes to the movies, at the local theater; The Purple Rose of Cairo has her going multiple times. On the worst day, after Cecilia lost her job, something new happens during the movie. The wall is broken, and Tom Baxter, a character in the movie, walks off the screen and into her life. The movie is ruined, people that are off and on screen start panicking, and Cecilia has a dilemma, having to choose between her husband, Tom Baxter, and Gil Shepherd, the actor who plays Baxter and who also wants a chance at her mind.
The Purple Rose of Cairo is a very old movie but is still true in today’s day because of the awful economic days that we live in. Such as those people who undergoing financial and emotional hardships. Even though the film doesn't quite give us the wonderful happily ever after ending that people would expect for a romantic comedy. It does bring out an important point about the magic of movies, and its control to take us to lands we'll never see, meet people we'd never know, and feel a natural value and kinship with people that can never exist. The Purple Rose of Cairo is a very magical movie. Especially the way that Cecilia, captures our minds, hearts and imaginations.
