Maybe it's because New York itself is faster and it's too late to recollect, maybe all the sequels are full of people's expectations, "New York, I Love You" is far less than the first "Paris, I Love You" touched my heart . I remember when I bought the disc of "Paris, I Love You", the subtitles and audio were only available in English and French, so I watched it twice, the first time I understood the meaning of the story in English, the second time Listening to the incomprehensible French gentle intonation, I feel the style and rhythm of the French city.
I don't intend to narrate a specific storyline. After all, the feelings brought by words and light and shadow are different. You have to see it yourself.
I can only say how I feel about the city from image to impression after reading one story after another.
Some say the film doesn't show love for New York, because these stories could be played in any other city. At the beginning, I vaguely felt the same, but more and more agree with it~ This is New York.
It accommodates people from different lands and cultures. The breath brought by each person who grew up in different environments is gathered here and accepted by the city, so all seemingly impossible encounters happen naturally. Familiar plots are played out by unexpected characters. Even photographers who are documenting other people's lives and stories become part of other people's landscapes.
About love, it is related to people's feelings, education and beliefs, and is connected with the environment, time, and atmosphere, but it can also transcend all time and space, religion, country, and experience... It grows magically in the soil that others cannot understand, and blooms beautiful flowers.
This is a fast-paced city, and everyone rushes to its embrace with a kind of enthusiasm for pursuit. As Carry said in the movie version of "Sex and the City", people can find two things in New York, love and lebel. Or These two Ls embody two kinds of pursuits, spiritual and material.
In this pursuit process, some people are proud, some people are lost, some people insist, some people give up, some people are not afraid of adventures and encounters, and some people stick to their beliefs and rules. Bustling streets, dilapidated walls, bars, cafes, in every corner, there are a lot of emotions accumulated over the city because of the pursuit.
Sometimes lost, sometimes awake, full of surprises and subject to change at any time, but even so busy for a living and self, this city and its people, no matter what state of life they are in, still have a gesture that makes me Willing to appreciate ~ Romance.
From the English version of "The Flower House Girl", the lyrics were translated into verses from a heart thief to a nagging old lady
who put her head on the old man's shoulder on the wedding anniversary at sunset and dusk.
The rapid alternation of the plot makes it too late to express a strong emotion, just a kind of smile that can be hidden at any time, a kind of sadness with a sore nose and no tears, maybe the plot will be blurred after all, but there are one or two scenes, that in the story. The expressions of the characters are deeply imprinted in the memory. Waiting for the next time when I smell the aroma of coffee on a busy street corner, when I see the stars blurred on the way to get off work, I am suddenly touched, knowing that even in my own city, some similar feelings can be connected, and I feel that the movement at this moment is like that time. In the mood of the New York story.
The cities are different, but the love blends together.
