we're all in the dance

The city, like this world, wakes up in the morning and is touched by the sun, and in the afternoon is wrapped in various sounds on the streets of people coming and going. When night falls, you close your eyes under the stars.

Cities, like people, wear different clothes throughout the year, change their faces and faces every day, and stories happen every moment. Sometimes crying, sometimes laughing, sometimes low, sometimes excited.

The city, like the water in this glass, is so clean and transparent that it doesn't seem to exist, but you can't live without it. The city, like this breeze on your cheeks, is very light and light, you feel it is right next to your ear, but you can't catch a trace of it when you reach out. The city, like an old song on a night train, is nostalgic and sad, and you suddenly feel warm and at ease during the rickety journey.

The city is so noisy, it is so chatty, it is so busy, it is so crowded and jammed. You are immersed in it, rushing slowly, dancing happily, reading newspapers at leisure, and eating hot and delicious meals alone or in a large group. You bump into a stranger on the corner, you accidentally break a latte in a cafe, you see kids running and screaming through giant fountains in a park, you chew popcorn and others in a movie theater Laughing together and bursting into tears, you chat with the driver on the taxi and talk about transportation and housing prices, you see a student couple in the subway who are so romantic, you chew dry bread on the street and listen to a wandering musician playing the saxophone , you saw a private exposure photo of a celebrity published in a magazine at a newsstand, you took a wrinkled, oil-stained bill from a waiter in a small restaurant, and you hummed your favorite song before going to bed, thinking about having it tomorrow The things we do...

the city, we love, love is sometimes lively and sometimes quiet, and the space for two people is sometimes bright and open, sometimes narrow and hidden. The city, we have been living, living in it, breathing with it, enjoying the sun on our backs, feeling the breeze, listening to its heartbeat, its breathing, and sometimes even pain with it, anesthesia together, and then wake up together . We look at it, we are fascinated by it, we are crazy about it, we can't help it; it also looks at us, leaving us a street light, a path and a night sky...

A man whose life was mediocre and boring, encountered the big traffic jam in the city, and finally had the opportunity to calm down and see his murky and hopeless life. Suddenly a woman passed out beside the car, he gave her first aid and carried her into the car to rest. When the woman woke up, she took his hand and said, turn off the music first? Then she closed her eyes and spoke to him with a reassuring smile on her face.

A young man helped a girl who fell off a bicycle. He asked, your hair is so beautiful, why are you wearing a headscarf? The girl said, this is my belief, I am willing to wear it, you and your friends think they understand girls, but you don't know anything. The young man stared blankly at her beautiful smile, and couldn't help but pick up his mobile phone to take pictures of her. The girl in the mobile phone was wearing a black scarf with a sweet smile.

A foreign man in a blue shirt meets an excited French man who babbles a lot of French to him. He was stunned there, looking a little indifferent. He just didn't understand what the other party was saying, and he didn't understand that the other party was so abnormal that he just wanted to know him, just because of curiosity, he wanted to approach him and talk to him. He looked at the note in his hand, which had the phone number written by the other party. At that moment, he suddenly got up and opened the door and ran to the street, looking for a stranger who didn't even know his name.

A single mother living in poverty, put her baby in the baby room, sang a lullaby to it to lull it to sleep, then took the subway, changed the bus, changed the subway, walked, walked again, and came to a wealthy family. be a maid. The child was lying in the cradle crying, she walked over and sang the same lullaby, shaking her hands in the air to the beat, she looked out the window thoughtfully, thinking of her child.

A middle-aged man who had an affair asked his wife to talk about breaking up in a cafe. The wife was still wearing the red coat that she had liked to wear since she met, and told him that she had a terminal illness and that she had few days left. The husband suddenly decided to take responsibility and accompany her to spend the last time with her. So he bought her the food she liked to feed her, took her to the movies, went shopping with her to find bargains, hugged her affectionately from behind while she was making dumplings while humming a song, and read to her the book of Murakami Murakami. novel. After his wife died, his soul was also empty, and when he saw the woman in the red coat on the street, his heart still ached.

A woman who lost her young son could not recover from the pain of losing a child for a whole week. In the middle of the night, she heard the voice of her son calling her outside - Mom, Mom. She rushed out of the room and into the street, where there were many sounds of children, and a cowboy on a horse brought her her son, and she held him tightly. The child said, mom, dad is calling you, sister and dad are waiting for you, and then leave, slowly disappearing into the distance. The woman got up and saw her husband, he asked her, what's the matter, where did she get so much power, she said - it was God's gift, and she finally smiled.

A black man, who was stabbed by someone, lay dying on a street corner. A black girl was helping him with the rescue, and she couldn't remember who the man was until he sang that song, the first time he saw her in the parking lot, sang it out loud to her, hoping to invite her for a drink coffee. He lost his job for following her figure, was insulted and stabbed by a hooligan, stumbled and bleed all the way, sang before dying, and asked her if she would like to have a cup of coffee together. The black girl finally remembered him, too late, shivering with two hot cups of takeaway coffee, tears rolling down her cheeks.

A tall woman and a short man are no longer young, emotionally corrupt, and quarreling. She played their favorite English songs when they were together in the bar, and they walked indifferently on the road in the dark. Suddenly this woman saw a band playing familiar music not far away, although it was just an illusion, but she said, don't you want us to go back to the past, I think now is the time. They go home together.

A newlywed couple, the wife dreams of visiting the cemeteries of those famous people in Paris, the wife is excited to print her own kiss on Wilde's tombstone, the husband is puzzled, elongated his face, pouring cold water on her romance and sensibility . The wife finally broke out, turned around and left, she would not even be willing to marry a man who was so dull and unwilling to make her happy and make her laugh. Wilde's soul jumped out of the grave at this time, telling him that if you let her go, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. The husband finally caught up with his wife, gave her the deepest kiss, and told her, let's go back to the hotel, I'll make you happy, and a marriage has been saved.

A foreign girl with her dream of an actress went to Paris for an interview, her performance was affirmed, and she also attracted a blind boy. Boys and girls, like all ordinary couples, fall in love, accompany each other, walk into each other's world, walk through spring, summer, autumn and winter, the plain and happy world of two people gradually becomes trivial and boring, gradually the distance from each other is getting farther and farther, gradually No more hugs, no more close. The boy watched the girl's movie in the cinema alone, and a line of tears fell silently. When she finished reading a lot of lines on the phone, she asked him, are you listening to me? The boy said, no, I saw you.

A middle-aged woman who dreamed of visiting Paris, told others about what she felt in Paris after returning from a trip. She only stayed in Paris for six days, citing the reluctance of her two pet dogs. A woman walks all over the streets and alleys, and travels alone in a strange and huge foreign city. Her life in the past few decades should be dull and lifeless, and she should be very lonely. She was sitting on a bench in a park in Paris, eating bread, watching the children in the distance and the lovers around her, recalling the past, thinking about life, and realizing something. She said that at that moment, she felt the vitality of life, she fell in love with Paris at that moment, and she also felt that Paris fell in love with herself, her eyes were full of tears, her frown was stretched, and her face was filled with happiness.

The story always has an ending, and every relationship has a definite result. However, life has no ending. Some are just rests. As long as you are willing, the next chapter must be full of expectations.

The story cannot be exhausted, there are some fragments and emotions that resonate with us, so we are happy or sad, crying and laughing, so we write down it. A good movie can be made up of many, many stories, or it can be just one story. A movie that can move you can tell you a complete story from beginning to end, or it can leave you room to continue or a beautiful reverie at the end.

The movie's theme music plays, and a divorced woman stands alone at the window drinking wine. There is a family dinner opposite, and the woman who lost her love is among them. They see each other and raise their glasses with smiles. Life goes on, wounds will always heal one day, and there is always something worth cherishing if you lose something. Of course, some people will never come back after leaving, and some things will be missed forever, but no one can stop them. Life goes on.

I think, that grumpy man will no longer feel that life is boring, that young guy finally got the love of the black hooded girl, the man who doesn't know much French should be able to find the stranger he was looking for Good friend, the poor single mother will definitely raise her child well, the woman who lost her youngest son will also get back on her feet and enjoy family life, the quarrelsome old couple will not let go The hand of the other party, the life of the newlyweds will be full of more romance and laughter than before, the young couple will cherish each other more attentively, and the traveler... There may be variables, but because of this, life is worth looking forward to.

It's a pity that the man who lost his wife has lost his love forever. Once he didn't know how to cherish, he doubted and denied their happiness. It's a pity that the black girl can't hear anyone singing love songs loudly and passionately for her again. She didn't agree to the invitation for a cup of coffee, and she didn't get a second chance after that. The one who fell in love with her at first sight Men close their eyes forever...

we certainly have a lot to say because there's still a story to tell, we can go further, yes, a movie is never tight and that's all, you can't exhaust it Emotion, its artistic conception, you can't fully express its beauty and its moving. And I, just want to go here, just go here, any rest is beautiful. After taking a deep breath, everything may start all over again, or it may extend indefinitely.

"we're all in the dance", I like the English version of the movie's theme song, "people are moving together" and "we're all in the dance". When I listen to it repeatedly, I am still moved by these two sentences. It seems like listening to "the lady in red" a long time ago, and listening to "rain and tears" a long time ago, but with less vicissitudes and melancholy, more calm and warmth.

City, we live in it, we love each other in it, the years are in a hurry, the world is in a hurry, you and I come and go in a hurry. If there can be such a city, we love it, it also loves us deeply, and each other is no longer hurt, then please come with me, invite lovers and friends, step on the beat of music, hug each other, and be affectionate , Come and dance happily, life is short, and there is no room for hesitation!

Paris, je t'aime quotes

  • Thomas: And you were accepted, of course. You moved from Boston to Paris into a little apartment on the rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis. I showed you our neighborhood, my bars, my school. I introduced you to my friends, my parents. I listened to your texts, your singing, your hopes, your desires, your music. You listened to mine. My Italian, my German, a bit of Russian. I gave you a walkman. You gave me a pillow. And one day, you kissed me. Time went by, time flew and everything seemed so easy, so simple, so free, so new, so unique. We went to the movies, we went dancing, we went shopping, we laughed, you cried, we swam, we smoked, we shaved, you screamed; sometimes for no reason, or for a reason. Yes, sometimes for a reason. I brought you to the academy, I studied for my exams, I listened to your singing, to your hopes, your desires, your music. You listened to mine. We were close, so close, ever so close. We went to the movies, we swam, we laughed. You screamed, sometimes for a reason and sometimes without. Time went by, time flew. I brought you to the academy, I studied for my exams. You listened to my Italian, German, Russian, French. I studied for my exams. You screamed, sometimes for a reason. Time went by for no reason. You screamed for no reason.
