That the dreamer can be successful
Many romantic films portray a protagonist that is against “the man” in every way—that thinks you should leave work and drink wine by a river with strangers all day, and that all you need is love and blah blah blah and somehow, these people actually achieve their dreams! And go on to be rich and successful! Midnight in Paris is a great example. Owen Wilson’s character is the ultimate idealist/romantic/dreamer and yet somehow, a successful writer in Hollywood? I don’t think so. To make it in Hollywood, you don’t have a moment to question the system and mosey around looking at paintings. You gotta work every day and night just to get by!
