[Film Review] Metropolitan (1990) 7.6/10

Make-believe posing and posturing is part and parcel of acting, professionals need years of practice to excel in it, for amateurs who tread the boards for the very first time (METROPOLITAN is a case in point), the result can be a toss- up and to a great extent contingent on its director's aptitude to key their personal traits into the roles they are assigned to play, in that regard, Whit...

Urban Haute Bourgeoisie vs. Nouveau Riche

"Is our vocabulary so poor? We need French to express our views?" The reason why we use French to quote the lines in the movie is because the use of French cannot avoid class and taste.

The taste of citizens is bourgeois, and gossip girls are nouveau riche. Who could have expected that the same description of Manhattan’s preppy has changed so much in more than a decade. The general public has been discussing the loneliness of the class. To a certain extent,...

Young people in metropolis

Metropolitan-1990 After

   watching all kinds of people in Taiwan taken by Yang Dechang, you can see the metropolis of New York.

"Big Citizen": After the Prom

Do not reprint

Luc Sante / Literary Ambiguity / Translation

Whit Stillman's "Big Citizen" was completed in 1990. As a film about young women from above and their dating partners, it appeared to be a solitary one at the time. Well, well, it looks even more uninterested now. Putting aside the classic film "Philadelphia Story",[1] the idea of ​​making American...

Young is good

Profound means more pain and less likable. In our age, profundity is a disgusting thing. What is really likable is to pretend to be profound, that is, things and speeches that "look very profound" ——This opening sentence can probably summarize the movie. The seemingly witty talk, coupled with the irony that the West has always used, and a touch of vanilla-flavored warmth, all the essence is here. Young people are always accustomed to raising eyebrows in life, while old people are insensitive...

The American media commented on how Stillman represented the 1% of the United States (Stillman was born in the 1% of the Upper East Side and graduated from Harvard. Although there was no such a word at that time). But my feeling is that people regardless of age or background have universal hopes and ideals, pretense and...
